Ok who is the lucky one that can help me out???How do I upgrade applications without losing data? For example, last night I updated Kindle. I had to remove the old version - then I uploaded the newest .apk... But I had to remove and reinstall all the books. I also updated Aldiko; removed all and installed newest .apk - all those books are gone.. How do I update the programs without losing my books??? Any ideas suggestions? Am I doing the updates wrong?

Install the .apk file over the top of the old one. This should just replace the file but keep everything else. If you remove it first then you will run in to the issues that you are having.

Move the file to your sdcard and use a file manager like Astro to explore to the file location. Tap on to start the install procedure.
When I reinstalled Aldiko, at launch, the app found the old library & updated the new lib. It announced that it found the old library. If I remember correctly, Aldiko moves & converts the original ePub files & creates it's working folders on the SD card.Cheers,kev
