1) What kind of reading formats can you download onto this tablet? 2) Is there a font size adjustment (large/smaller)? 3) Is there a page-turner?

It supports most of the popular formats; Aldiko, Google Books, Kindle, Nook, PDF AND EPUB. Some of the rading apps have page turner and text adjustments. Others just use a swipe gesture.

I have a Kindle also - and I love it!I'm getting a Zen this week, but the User Manual seems to be hard to find.Thanks for taking time to write.

The manual that comes with it is pretty small & basic... I don't think it'd help you much. BUT, you'll have access to all of the Internet with it, and Google is great at answering questions (= It's really not a terribly complicated tablet though.

Lilly.n Kindle fire is a great product but not for what you want. You are right about the LePan. There is a LePan 2 that I am considering buying myself. I have been researching for months now. When you read the low star reviews and the same issue keeps showing up, I believe it. If the complaints are all over the place I don't take them seriously. Every Android I get my eye on ends up with major issues. I think I am just going to get the apple ipad and play it safe. ps amazon.com is cheaper than hsc. best of luck, God Bless

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.

Hi Cynthia, We have purchased two of these tablets. We had bought them mostly for emails. But my daughters had other ideas and use it for playing games and watching Netflix. Google Play is already on the tablet and you can just click on the app., set up an account, and it can be utilized to download other tablet apps. (Like the Netflix) The screen set on "Bright" can still be seen at an angle from either side. We have a computer screen that from the side "appears to disappear"--This does not do that. The screen is also sufficiently viewable on lower light settings which save battery power. We had some issues with battery drain and the ValuePad customer service is very helpful with all questions. One of the batteries drained within two days in the OFF setting. We began turning off the internet on it and unplugging the keyboard (if you have one) when we powered down. The battery then stayed at 100 per cent losing power in increments over a two week time. Of course if you use it more frequently, you will be able to keep track of your battery power and plug it up at intervals to refresh it. We are not high tech users, but I would say this tablet is well worth the money and again, the ValuePad customer service is there to help you!

It is very nice for reading, which is the my main use for this tablet, but for heavy work I have a Surface Pro 3.I used to own a Surface RT and Surface 2. Comparing with those for reading is more suitable and you can run legacy apps.

This tablet is junk... And to answer your question, yes, this is one of many issues with it. It is very slow. Got for my son for Christmas, and he hasn't even really been able to use it. Price was good, but definitely worth the money to buy a better one.

Haven't had enough time to see everything this tablet is capable of. You might want to direct your questions to Sony. Sorry!

Yes, all you have to do is download the "Kindle App" it works like a charm this is an awesome tablet....Luv it!!!

I would think so, yes! I can see no reason why you wouldn't love this tablet. There are many things you can do with it, including: listen to music; watch movies from the Internet, play games; e-mail, dictate into a diary, take photos (surprisingly good ones, too,) etc. In fact you should be able to download a translation program (if you find the need.) I guess I have a hard time calling it "simple." It is not difficult to use, in the least, but it's capabilities make it well worth the money. I LOVE mine...

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.

I haven't downloaded any books, but I have downloaded a magazine and was able to read it just fine. The only issue I've had with this tablet is the speed, but that could just be the internet connection itself.

There is a free kindle app foe the iPad but I have not used it. I have had a kindle for a lot longer than the iPad. I can share what a friend told me, though. She finds the iPad screen too bright to read comfortably, and learned the hard way not to read at bedtime. She says it makes her eyes hurt. I am happy with my old kindle, so can't offer you experience firsthand.

If Kindle has an Android App then yes you can, because it has an Android Player. It also has a nice e-reader of its own, with Kobo books. I thoroughly enjoy the app, but at the same time I'm not a heavy reader. Plus there are always work arounds.

Get a 9 or 10" tablet, this is too small for vision problems as I see it. Of course if you hold it horizontally you can get bigger text than vertically but surfing is difficult if you have to enlarge. A larger tablet would be better.

You cannot, and it was for this exact reason that I returned mine. I slipped in a 16 GB microdisc which it would not read, and after wasting a lot of time I was told that it does have this problem and it is not even a full Android OS. When I told all of this to Amazon they apologized and took it off their list of tablets. You probably got yours before all of this. It is not the best tablet on the block. I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab3 which is much more practical even though it has only 8 GB of memore, but when you slip in a 16 GB microdisc it reads it easily, just like a laptop.
