How is this tablet for reading books/newspaper? Can it change to a black screen and white type?

It is very good for reading books and newspaper. You can change the setting on the APP. It will allow you to use brown or green background if you are using kindle app. It depends on the app you use.

Yes, works fine. So do other readers. Cool reader is a nice one and there is fbreader, ireader, aldiko and others.

Sorry but no, I had alot of problems with this tablet, the internet connection is also very slow, I was very disappointed, would not recommend it.

Almost every review I've seen on the Fire says the touchscreen has problems with responsiveness. I did some playing around with both units at a Target and found the same problem with the touchscreen. The software seemed decent on both. If you're going to watch movies/videos the nook's display seemed closer to an HD experience, but neither was bad. Amazon's obviously got a much broader and richer content collection "in the cloud" than B&N;, but if the books you need are available for the Nook, it seems much smoother and more responsive.

I'm not entirely sure, I bought another extremely similar tablet from gamestop and to the extent of knowledge with it the text does not enlarge. Hope this helps in some way , I would try a kindle or something at least '10 inches

It's running android 4.04 and the screen is the big problem for me, not high resolution like the Google nexus 7 and 10 which are the ones I use the most. The screen looks grainy to me but I'm old with old eyes.

It is an Android tablet. It can not run Windows software. You can use Adobe Reader to read pdf files.

Save up your money for a better tablet. The view will be dark if you look at it from the side. It wouldn't be worth it trust me the display is horrible.

You can download the "FBReader" from Amazon app store. This is my favorite program for reading free eBooks (mostly classics). It allows you to configure where the eBook library is stored on your tablet's internal memory or external microSDHC card. On the other hand, the screen resolution of this 4.3" tablet is too low at 480x272, so you can only view a small region of a normal book page. If you expect to do a lot of reading, get a 7" or larger tablet instead.

Thanks for the reply. I had read somewhere that not all android based apps would be available. I know there will be a Borders app. I am still trying to decide between a Kindle 3 and this tablet.

Sure can. Tablet uses the common Android OS, and App Store has free Kindle app you can download.

This is the most basic reader, I use it to download books from my local library.You can change the font size and it has a dictionary. It is good for me but if youwant lights and whistles, this is NOT the one.

I used it with NetZero ISP to handle my internet needs. It has a book reader (Adlikos) and I have downloaded dozens of books (mostly classics) for free, but it has had limited use as a substitute for a laptop. It does not transition smoothly from screen to screen no matter how strong the wifi signal and my Coby Kyros tablet developed a large green line at the far right end - as if the screen is about to blow -- so I bought a Sanyo 7" tablet a few months ago.

Yes, I get the "out of paper" reading often. What's up with that?? Very annoying. What good is the wireless feature when this keeps happening?

Well, I think you can use the Kobo ebook reader software, but if it won't read text files, then maybe you can download a .txt reader program from either Amazon or the Sam 4.0 site. I personally didn't like this unit because it crashed on me about 6 or 7 months after getting it and Sylvania would not respond to my inquiries about getting the 2.2 Android OS reinstalled again. Get yourself something else like an AGPtek TP718JQ instead and for less money. It has 1.5GH quad-core processor, Dual cameras, dual speakers, 8GB of memory and a 4.1.1 Android OS.
