How To Install OkadaBooks’ App On Blackberry In 5 Minutes

“In March 2011, RIM announced an optional Android player that could play applications developed for the android system would be available for the BlackBerry PlayBook, RIM’s first entry in the tablet market. On August 24, 2011 Bloomberg News reported unofficial rumors that BlackBerry devices would be able to run Android applications when RIM brings QNX and the Android App Player to BlackBerry.
On October 20, 2011 RIM officially announced that Android applications could run, unmodified, on the BlackBerry tablet and the newest BlackBerry phones, using the newest version of its operating system.”

With that info, i’m glad to announce that the new Blackberry smartphones are now smarter. I still have access to Blackberry Appworld and .apk files from my previous “Nameless, Cheap” Android (hehehe). Blackberry phones with the latest Models (BlackBerry 10 devices) from BlackBerry Q5 (2013) to the New +BlackBerry passport (2014) runs most +Android apps and one of these Apps is +Okada Books. Lets get to the tutorial, i’ve said much already.

Note: Make sure the bluetooth of the blackberry is turned on and “Discoverable” is turned on too.

When you receive the app in your blackberry, it should be saved in the “Downloads” folder. Install it. That’s all.

Reading Your Downloaded Books

The last screenshot above is a “download in progress shot.” Now, when you have downloaded the book, you could read it from the “My Books” section with your internet connection turned off. This is possible because the app has been built for easy data optimization, obviously.

You don’t really have to read it online. It could be read offline because your downloaded book is in your phone, but you can’t find it easily because it’s deep within the phone to avoid deletion from your enemies…LOL. And other illegal purposes that could be punishable by the law.

However, To locate the book in your phone, follow these folders

[Device/misc/android/Android/data/com.okadabooks/files/books] All the books you have downloaded could be found here and they are in .epub version. Blackberry/Android apps rarely comes with .epub readers, I guess its why the app was built with an .epub reader. Smart huhn?

Another wonderful thing about the app is that it has an “auto read out loud” function. While reading a book, you could tap the small speaker at the extreme top-right-hand-side to switch from the default visual mode to audio-visual mode. In this mode, a Female voice could read the entire ebook to you. The voice is a bit slow but with this mode, you could learn to pronounce some really difficult words. Isn’t it Awesome? (See the screenshot below)
