ruBooks is a nice upgrade to the books app. It adds some nice features:
- DOC/PDF/XLS viewer;
- FB2 support, including support to zip-archived files;
- Localization support, with English, Russian and draft German, Chinese and Japanese languages;
- Text search;
- Page scrolling with volume control buttons;
- Increased book loading speed;
- Table of contents for single-file books;
- Book cover inside the text;
- Opening files anywhere on the file system under /var - including both home dirs of users “root” and “mobile”. Also /var/root/Downloads;
- Color selection for fore- and background in both day- and night-modes;
- Auto-scrolling;
- Justified alignment and other small but very handy enhancements.

i tried using ruBooks, but once i open the pdf file it hangs for a few seconds then just goes back to the springboard.
How do I fix this?
