How to Download Android Apps to your Blackberry Playbook

By

Welcome to another exclusive Good e-Reader Video Tutorial! Today we take a look at the new OS2 on the Blackberry Playbook and teach you how to load in Android converted BAR Files.

BAR files are the popular format that the Playbook reads in order to install apps. When you download programs from the Blackberry App World these are the extensions of the files you download and install. Sideloading in your own apps is not as easy as using Windows Explorer. The essence of our Tutorial outlines what you need to do on your tablet and then what you need to do on your PC. The process is actually fairly simple and the entire process is well documented.

So you are looking for Android Apps for your Blackberry Playbook? Look no further then our own Good e-Reader App Store! We have created a new section that has over 50 BAR file applications converted from Android! We have major e-reading apps like Kindle, Aldiko, Moon+ Reader, Marvel Comics and tons of newspaper, magazine and essential installs! You can download all of the apps HERE.

    I bought ($2.99) Enjoy Sudoku from Jason Linhart for the iPhone.  It is now available for Android but not the Playbook.  Is it possible to have this converted for the Playbook?  If it is not possible to convert a paid app there is also a free app called Sudoku from Jason which only allows one game per day.  Could this one be converted?
