i like it. i started with the original one and worked my way to this one. I mostly read on it and love the lighting and font settings for it. you can downlaod from the libary. You can purchase books from other sites. I do use the internet on it and pay bills on it to. It does what i need it to do.

Yes, but it is really a tablet with full access to most tablet Apps. To use as a ereader you can use a ereader App (NOOK, Kindle, etc.) and they work fine to read books except in bright sunlight.

Do you mean the ereader or the computer version? If it's an ereader you'll be fine, I'm able to charge both my girlfriends and my own kindle off a single charge from day out in the sun haven't had to plug either kindle in since I got this thing months ago. Mind you we are in australia and there's a lot of sun here :)

No. And the Sony e-Reader is far more reliable then any kobo. Please see www.koboproblems.com for more information.

A usb cord to your computer is needed to get the books from the eredaer store. Make sure it is registered also. No wifi, just a simple reader only. My first ereader and still have it.

I've had mine for just over a year and it works great. I've had to reset a few times but that not the norm. I use more to read ebooks mostly and I do that for several hours without a problem so I'm surprised to hear people saying that they've had theirs for less time and it's not working.

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.

Dear Michelle, I finally got my Nook for Christmas. Not without some extra taxes I had to pay in the border, but anyway, finally here. I think that for reading novels in Catalan it's perfect really. The contrast of the screen depends much on the light you put in, but if the light is totally white, the constrast is very good!!! I'm pretty happy with the Nook, even if I cannot purchase directly any book because I don't have US billing address. The only little problem I found when reading for long time, is that because of the outside plastic it gets stuck on the hand and I have to change the position of reading every 15-20 minuts. I suppose once I get the cover I asked, I could handle in another way and the problem won't come back. One very bad experience!! I purchased the cover on Barnes&Noble and because is going to Europe you cannot track it. The point is that after more than one month it has not arrived yet!! But the worse is that the 2 times I send a mail to B&N they automatically resent me a mail forwarding me to the help system!!! I finally sent another e-mail to the company external of B&N that produces the covers for them and I didn't get any answer yet!! So I finally purchased it on Amazon. By the way I also bought a Kindle and it's supposed to arrive in a couple days. I bought it for the textbooks for my studies. Give me some feedback!!! Take care. Xavi

I have the Kindle and the Nook app on my Coby 8024. Both work well, although with the Nook sometimes it asks me to download my books again; even after downloading them. The Nook app has more options in the menu screen; which possibly makes it a better app; but the Kindle app is so seamless and easy to use I find myself using that one more often.

I just took mine outside, It is a little difficult to read in bright light, as far as the ebooks, that are on a white background, it is much better. Hope that helps!

MusicLvr, The Kindle is not a computer, it's an ebook reader, so don't expect it to do what the Aspire does. The reason you see the poor reviews is that about the only people to report back are the ones with problems. I've had my Kindle since October and absolutely love it. I currently have about 250 book on it. If you really want to research the Kindle, may I recommend that you visit: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php - it will open your eyes. Can you download books on an Aspire One, the same as Kindle? - Yes and no. The Kindle uses a proprietary file format that cannot be opened by Windows, so you will not be able to buy Amazon books and read them on the Aspire. However, there are thousands of books available elsewhere in other formats (txt, doc, pdf, prc, mobi, etc.) that you can download to your computer (many of them for free) and read. If you look around, you can probably find a free ebook reader for your computer for those formats that Windows doesn't open itself (prc, mobi, and mayby a few others), but you won't (at least at this time) find one to open the Amazon books. So, here's the thing - the Aspire is a Windows computer. It will open and let you read any file it recognizes. The Kindle is NOT a computer - it's a reader; it doesn't use Windows. Check out the above website - you can ask all of the questions you want and you'll probably get better and maybe more accurate answers.

You can use it for minutes and read downloads. I never had a problem with those two things.

By the way, my brother received a Kindle fire for Christmas and it's decent but i found the browser to be a bit slow, and some of the e books i downloaded weren't working once the wifi connection was turned off. I looked in my schools bookstore and only a few of the books i needed for class were available digitally so I won't be needing a tablet soon but when i do buy one I think I'm going with the Nook.
