Is this a good ereader device? I'm assuming I can download the Kindle App and read my ebooks. I placed my order, I am exited!

There is a kindle for Android app (which I have installed on my phone). The question is whether you'll be able to install it on this device. My understanding is that the device does not have access to the full Android Market but uses their own Cruz Market which is most likely a subset of the Android Market. I would think that if Amazon is selling it, the Kindle app will be available for it. If it is not, then I will certainly try installing the .apk file I have for my phone on this device!

Sure you can. I read my kindle books all the time. When you buy it and log into your account you books will automatically download to this device.

Yes. I actually use the Nook app in the tablet to read my e-books (even though I don't own any B&N; books), reads my EPUB books perfectly and I like its internal (i.e. not online) dictionary. I think it has the Kindle app pre-installed but I haven't used it.

Yes, I worried about that too. Once i downloaded the app, i was able to sync the books I download from Amazon to read in my kindke app. This was a good purchase for me.

I haven't found a way to do that yet. I use the kindle app to read eBooks from Amazon. Actually I haven't found a way to download amazon books at all unless a kindle is involved :(However this Naxa E reader will read .doc, .pdf, .txt files (make sure it isn't a .docx these cannot be read)

Amazon Kindle books are only for the Kindle. However, .pdf files are WAY easier to read on this ereader than they are on the Kindle. Same with epub files, I can't get epub to work on the Kindle though others have said you should be able to.

Can Sony delete books off their e-readers? I don't think they can or do. So that's one major advantage it has over Kindle, sadly. I really wanted a Kindle, but until this mess is sorted out with 1984, I'm going to stick with less controlled systems. I guess I'll have to live without whispernet, which I think sounds like a killer feature if it isn't used against me.

Hello Dan, Thank you for your interest in the Trio Droid! There is an Amazon app store on the device. I'm sure you can get a Kindle app that would allow you to download e-books. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

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.

I am using the stock software that came with it. The Kindle app was preloaded, but for some reason I cannot log in. When I try, it says 'Please check wifi connection' even though I can browse the internet just fine. It's frustrating b/c I can't log in to read any of my books.

Thanks for your input. I've been trying to decide which way to go. I recently moved to Japan, and I miss having access to lots of titles- plus there's that train commute... So, an electronic reader is a solution. I'm wary only because I've not been able to hold one in my hands and play with it. Sony Readers are displayed everywhere. Apparently, Kindle doesn't require the marketing exposure to sell.

Absolutely! I just received mine this weekend. My two ebook readers of choice are Aldiko and the Kindle Android App, both of which work just fine on this tablet. Kindle App will open Mobi files, and if you use their "Send To Device" program (available for both Windows and Mac), it will also add the book to your archives and keep it synced between any other Kindle apps and devices you have. I don't remember if Aldiko supports Mobi files, but I know it supports PDF and Epub. It's my personally favorite ebook reader, because of all the options it has for text color and size, background color, etc. Also it has the option of disabling CSS style sheets, so if the color of the text is coded into the book and won't change when you switch the background to black, or if the book just doesn't look right in Aldiko, you can disable the CSS style sheets and the book usually looks and acts a lot better. The only drawback with Aldiko is no easy way to sync books, bookmarks, and last-page-read between devices.

Kindle reader works nicely on it so does fbreader and nook all at google play free apps ... you can download amazon app store which is the app store for kindle and use their apps but they are most the same as google

I'm new to ereaders and can not decide between the kindle vs sony. Of course, I would prefer sony due to netlibrary, but I find that site confusing. Plus you can use sony for the public domain books on google. But then I'm so used to amazon and kindle seems to be so much simpler to use. My question to sony ereaders--how hard is it to get used to using netlibrary and google books? Can you get what you want using the sony? I really can not decide and at this point am about ready to give up and just not get an ereader.

With 2.0 you can side-load android apps like the Kindle app.. also has good, free/cheap ebook readers you can download from App World
