Help!! I bought a tablet,but it's too complicated for me (I'm 75 and don't need all the other stuff). What brand reader (only) would be the easiest fo this dinosaur to handle?

Honestly if you already have this just open the market and install Kindle or Nook. Once you open the app you are in reader mode, none of the other features matter. Just find someone a little more tech savvy to install the book apps and if you want an email app and put their links on the front page and everything else can be forgotten.

Not sure what you mean by "reader," but there are apps for books and stuff.

I wouldn't know my tablet stopped working on the third day I got it. But while it worked it was a pretty good tablet. If I were you I would get the kindle fire. Is much better and only $199 and if you look for coupons you might get an even better deal.

Turn off d nook install d n2a card power up. Tablet boots up n full android mode with unlimited access to d market. Nook only allows u to access barnes n noble market which is very slim which u almost have to pay for everthing. Trust me I bought an I'm a very happy camper if ur into d apps this might b 4 u.I hope this shed some light

Yes, I agree with B. Pease, if you have the option to purchase a more capable tablet, then go for it. But if you're like me and trying to stay budget and don't mind a little bit less performance in some more graphically demanding applications, then this Coby Kyros would suffice. If you don't find it on the built in app website, I recommend downloading the 1mobile app from 1mobile.com from your tablet, it's really nice.

To 5 yorkies and H. Bowman: This should work just fine for the both of you. I've had this a few days, but today was the first time I've really had time to play with it. Its taken all day to get to get an eReader that will work good. This unit comes with Aldiko as the eReader app, but I couldn't figure out how to buy/download books (it comes with downloads to tons of free books, but thats not what I was looking for). Someone else on this site gave a web address to download Kindle for Android and now I have it downloaded (even started reading the book I was looking for). I was able to setup my email right away, although it didn't work very well through the setup wizard (I have yahoo mail). Since I already have an android phone, I checked the settings on my phone and just did a manual setup using the same settings. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will do what I can do help. Good luck to you...I'm loving my new tablet so far.

I found the NOOK HD + easy to use in the glare. As a reader, it performs well.

I know it's probably too late for the person who asked this; but for anyone else with the same question...I think giving any of the Kindle e-readers (not necessarily the kindle fire 'tablets') would be a better idea...they are CHEAPER, and they'll be much more versatile. Not only can you install a Bible on them, they can hold virtually thousands of other books!! I have owned this particular item AND I've had a Kindle touch; the latter was cheaper, lasted longer and was sooooo much more versatile! (I do not have any connection or work with Amazon)

Somehow, I got to be an expert on the Slick e-reader. I remember little about it, other than I returned it after a few days. And, that was a while ago. I don't believe that it is a tablet, which would allow you to get the Kindle app. Since it is an epub reader, one will have to convert the Kindle .mobi format, but is it possible? Do a Search on your computer.

Man, Barbara is such a b!tch, lol. This tablet is priced to be a "throw away" tablet. I believe B. Herndon is trying to give her 5 yo something that will function almost as well as the high-priced tablets, but if any "accidents" occur, she won't sweat the price she paid. Better to start the rugrats off on relatively inexpensive gadgets, so when they break 'em, they'll know better next time. I plan on giving my 8 yo the next tablet up for his birthday, so he can do some of his schoolwork on it, and of course play games.

This will be up to the reader built in or added via USB to your machine. If you give more details you may get more help here. Generally speaking this should work unless the reader is extremely old.

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

I have the Kindle & my daughter has the Nook. We share by loading books on to our computer on a free program called Calibre. Calibre has a "convert" feature that converts back & forth from Mobi to epub or epub to Mobi since they require different formats (or pdf, etc...) then we load to the other person's reader. Works fabulously!

ok so i will see what i can do to help first what pdf reader did you end up installing? and did you transfer them to sd or the internal tablet memory? If so one thing that you can try is plug the tablet back into your pc see what file or location they are at then target it that way. If you are uncertin as to how to do this let me know what reader you are using and i will run the same on mine and give you a walk threw. Robert.d.geier@g-m-a-i-l if you have any further questions

I was fairly happy with my Sony PRS-505 until it started locking up on me for no particular reason. I am fairly technical and tried a lot of things to get the unit back in service. No go. I am also very unhappy with the sony reader store web site. Coincidentally I won a Kindle in a raffle and have to say am delighted with both the reader and the content available for it. I had a ton of educational PDF files that I am e-mailing to the Kindle and am overall stunned by the quality of the product and service. It looks like there is some competition on the way with the Archos 9 and other Atom-based tablets, so hopefully that will moderate the price.

I just downloaded the kindle app...and then downloaded stuff through that program..It was easier for me to look at the kindle store on a pc and download from there...it does take a minute to load up on the tablet.
