can you read books on it?

I'm not exactly sure because I bought them as Christmas gifts and haven't really played with them much but from what I have read from other reviews you can.

if you have a bed tray, it can fit on the bed tray and be used with any book. you just need a flat, sturdy surface and you can read it sitting up in bed. i suppose if you laid it on the mattress and you read while lying down sideways with your head propped up on one arm that might work....

Thank you Alan. I will have to try that out. I ended up getting a Nook from B&N.; I was able to go into the store and play around with one which made me feel better about buying it. I know that there are some books on Kindle that I'm going to try and convert.

Definitely yes. However, some libraries require a special set-up for Nooks. They will have the info at the information desk.

With the proper application yes. As there are many providers of audio-books you would have to download the correct app to view them.

It has an eReader from Kobo as one of the packaged apps, which reads all the standard books, magazines, etc. It reads epub, and other books like any other reader. The display is high definition so it is easy to read in both light and dark situations. There are many other apps availble for free and purchase that allows you choices in the apps you want to install and use besides the packaged versions which is nice.

No, I don't think that it would be possible to read while using the machine. It does come with an area meant to hold an Ipod and it could be possible to place an e-reader on the bezel above that section but it is not designed for it. Plus you get the best workout while using your arms and legs at the same time so it would be hard to reader while exercising.

Yes. It is basically an android computer. So you can do most things on it that you can do with an android phone or tablet.

Of course yes. There is special app in Google Store to read Kindle documents.

Yes. A music stand is on top of it to hold your music book so you can read it.

I'm not sure about that, but it may be possible depending on the book's file-type. Sorry, I couldn't be of more assistance.

I agree with the other answers, you can download the Kindle app which allows access to the Kindle e-books

You can also go to Barnes & Noble and download/install their reader for Nook books.

I read while riding by holding the book flat across display. Leaning on elbows works but you have to hold the book in air a bit. Definitely worth it.

I don't think it would be good for reading a book. It is more for looking at things at a short distance, like a bird on your feeder, or the deer on the edge of the woods.

It's real big display. You will have no problem reading it. That's a reason I bought it too is because of big display. Hope that helps you

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.
