I'm a college student-- I want to start reading two books per week. Is this product for for young adults or only young people?

I am a college student also, and you can set the level of books that you want to read. As far as reading two books per week, I have found that while this is a great program to increase your reading speed, sometimes you don't want to read that fast. Think of it like driving. Sometimes, you want to enjoy the scenery while others you just want to get to your destination as quickly as possible. For me, I use the speed reading taught int his program for reading blogs, newspapers, and academic papers.

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.

It will work well for a college student once they figure out Windows 8...which is full of clutter. Everything auto saves to the cloud so they might want to change that setting if they prefer to keep their info private.

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.

I use mine once or twice a week only and it helps tremendously! :) I'm sure you could use it more or even less depending upon what you'd like. But twice a week has worked well for me!

Absolutely yes! I am a "mature" female and it took me probably 20 minutes. I love this! I have about 48 books on it and it is super sturdy and looks great.

I bought this for my granddaughter and she's 18. It's definitely for adults.

I've done both. Laying on the floor is a little more intense, so you may want to start by using it in your bed. I tuck a pillow under the top part and read a book while laying on it. It's amazing.

Perfectly! That's what I have :-) It takes a some getting used to. You won't be writing your Ph.D. thesis, or the great American novel with it, but it's great for light to medium use.

10-45. It really depends on the size of the books. If they are board books or hardback books it will be 2-4 books per shelf, but paperback first readers could fit maybe nine per shelf.

I certainly think so. I read 4-6 books a week, and I am using this constantly. It goes everywhere with me, in my purse. So it is being well-used. I have seen no problems with it at all. Seems sturdy enough and IHAVE dropped it. If I were purchasing again, I would not hesitate. It seems much more compact than the one they show for the Paperwhite. I like it.

Quite suitable for an adult. My daughter is 34 and has already gone through one of these. She puts her laptop on it so the heat from that eventually gets to the top of the lap desk but takes about 2 years of everyday use. I love it for doing crosswords or using my kindle also. It's light and doesn't take up a lot of space. Great for eating my lunch on also. Then my grandkids use it when they come to visit. It's a great deal.

Yes, I love my Maglus. I've been using it in college for about a month and so far it's excellent.

I put up to 5 textbooks and a tablet plus odds and ends and I saw wear after a semester. I'm pretty rough on my back pack though. If I had to gess I'd say 3 large textbooks would be the best weight for it.

I downloaded it, but all I have on the screen are three books to choose from. What do I do from here? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I would NOT recommend this for you. It does not hold in place that well with two paperback books.
