Once you download the book onto your device you do not need to be connected to the internet to read it. Just be sure it is on your device - not in the cloud - and you're good to go.

Yes, you just install kindle app, then sign in to Amazon and download your library. It was really easy.

Like others have said, you buy and download books with the wifi. But, you can read it off of it. By the way, there are newer versions of this ereader that are just as economical. Good luck with whatever you do.

I haven't downloaded any books, but I have downloaded a magazine and was able to read it just fine. The only issue I've had with this tablet is the speed, but that could just be the internet connection itself.

Correct. No computer or WiFi needed. You may want a card reader that microSD cards though.

No you wouldn't need to have a computer to use this and since this is not the S version wifi would not help you either. The only reason you would need to have a computer for this is to set up the online account and to download games offline. If you don't have a computer you could buy this and only use the little cartridges you get from the store. If you want to be able to buy ebooks and games from the internet then you need to at least have a computer with a usb port so that way you can hook up the innotab to the computer and set up the online profile so that way you could download any games and ebooks off of their learning lodge. If you had the S version you might be able to set up the online profile at a hotspot like mcdonalds and download ebooks that way. I didn't get the S version so I don't know if it has to be hooked up to a computer to get the profile started or not. If you are just wanting to use this as a game consule for your kids then you wouldn't need the computer. If you are wanting this as a e reader too you'd need just a computer with any internet hooked up. It does come with a couple little games and you get two free downloads.

No, you do not need internet to play , only a USB connection to a computer But I do not recommend that you buy this item ; the speakers voice is not clear and seems to have mush in his mouth! Very hard to understand what he is saying! If you turn off the sound and read the text you may enjoy it more.

I don't know exactly what you mean, Its a software, so it doesn't require an internet connection. You just install it to your pc.

Yes, you can use the device without an Internet connection. We had to use it that way for over a week. The 2 things that it effects are the channel guide, and updates to the system. You can load updates to a USB drive from your computer, and then transfer it to the device.

You can only download books when wifi is available, but once they're downloaded, you can read them without any wifi. :)

I'm going to say no, if you have it stored on a disk you don't need internetI primarily use it to connect to Netflix, Hulu and spotify

If you want your library synced you have to be connected to Internet through wifi. However you can always side load files if you are okay with reading offline, i.e. Transfer those ePub files through PC/Mac

No, it needs a wired ethernet connection to the internet (through your router).
