There is one, but you have to join the US Navy to have access to it. Google Navy + E-reader + Nerd. Or go to this URL (http://www.thedigitalshift.com/2014/06/ebooks/u-s-navy-launches-nerd-security-enhanced-e-reader/)

The Kobo Aura HD allows you to decide if you want to connect or no to a WiFi network (that might be connected to the internet).It is a good reader and if you doesn't want it to be connected to the internet, just disable WiFi in settings and you're done.

No you have to have some connection to internet. Either with a cable or wifi connection.

ANY EReader can be disconnected from the net by not selecting a WiFi connection and/or selecting 'airplane mode' which shuts off all 3G (if available) and/or WiFi connections. You can then "sideload" books by connecting to your PC and transferring via USB

To get the device turned on Kobo wants an internet connection for set-up. It asks for a name, and an email address, logs on and updates device software. It does not require you to acknowledge the email address. After set-up, you can load from a PC and never connect to the internet again.

it has a built-in app for downloading e-books; don't recall its name. many classic e-books are free.

Not long. And to be perfectly honest I'd go with a nook or a kindle. This really was a junk experience.

Sony has developed their own e-reader app. You can try downloading it for compatibility with Kindle: https://ebookstore.sony.com/download/

Yes, works fine. So do other readers. Cool reader is a nice one and there is fbreader, ireader, aldiko and others.

It looks like Barnes and Noble created an application to download for that purpose, to read Nook books on Android tablets and smartphone. I'd suggest reading their FAQ page in regards to this before proceeding.

You can download books fast, it works alright for that and I downloaded a good program 'Ambling Books' it works really easy, because the one that comes with the Zen isn't worth much, or mabe I didn't spend hours trying to figure it out.

It doesn't have wifi like a Kindle does, so you have to use the SD memory card. Insert the memory card into your computer, copy and paste your book file onto the SD memory card, and then insert it back into the Aluratek Libre. Sometimes, you have to turn the Libre off and on again for the files to appear. Hope this helps! :-)

Once you download your library to your nook you do not have to be online to access your library. You do need the net to shop.

Download and run Calibre. This is a free program for both Windows and Linux. it has both a converter to/from mobi and most formats, as well as an uploader to your device. Calibre is a great program that really works both to organise your books and make them work with your device! r00t

Best os a;ways in the eyes of the beholder. However, as for reading books, Amazon has an app for android and I'm able to download and read books from their Kindle site without a problem. Likewise, Audible has a free app for Android that I have loaded onto my Zen ZiiO and have a whole audio library stored there. And, I have downloaded music from Amazon and I-tunes to the Ziio without any difficulty. There is also an android app available In Amazon apps to download from youtube to the ZiiO. My ZiiO can access the download site directly through my home Lan via .the built in browser and download directly to the ZiiO. Or, you can download to your PC then copy the file to the ZiiO. Hope this helps.

I use Aldiko to download and read my library books. I think it is a better reader than the Nook or Kindle readers. You don't really need Overdrive.

I read Kindle books, ebooks, PDF, etc. I have know idea about iBooks, though I would suspect that one would need a Macintosh program for the android to be able to read iBooks.

yes! it comes with the Kindle reading app installed and books can be downloaded wirelessly from the Amazon Kindle sight. Amazon has a site filled with Android apps from books, games and utility programs. Many are FREE! Easy set up! love my Toshiba tablet!!!!

Download the ebook reader app "Aldiko" or try "Laputa" both support epub ebook format and are very nice little reading apps you can get for free. I didn't like the Kindle app for this device as it never allowed me to just go straight into the book I was reading or the front of my Kindle page but instead would prompt me to register or put in my username and password and tell me that I have to be online to use it. I wanted an ebook reading app I could use offline and Kindle wasn't/isn't it. But, Aldiko and Laputa are two very fine ereading apps that support epub and let me read while not online.
