I play a lot of games on facebook and this computer works like a charm. I have downloaded book to the kindle app on this computer with no problem but I have no experience with tablets. I do love this computer!

There is so much to know about the new format. Are the facebook games available through facebook? I'm afraid I don't have a lot of experience with downloading books, however the system is incredible, and I doubt you would have problems doing anything. I love the computer.

My wife uses it for scrap booking. Which utilizes lots of large applications. It will be a good system for you.

Yes, there are apps for that. The key is to recognize that the amount of memory is limited, and installing too many games or other apps will make it perform poorly. For a single purpose tablet, (ie. Kids to play, adults to i Se for remote email, etc) this works great. If speed is a big issue, spend the money and get something more robust. This has worked out well for my middle school aged daughter.

Hi Robert,Thanks a lot for the info, it was exactly what I was interested in finding out. I've been back and forth about whether to get a dedicated e-reader like the Kindle DX for my PDF's, but considering the price I feel like for that kind of money, I need to think multi-function. I'm trying to limit my gadgets to only a few things that I carry around at one time.

Not that I was aware of.There isn't really a way to play a game on here. I imagine its only the touch screen ereaders that would allow you to play games on them because this only has directional buttons to move text,change a movie or show, or turn the page,etc....I was never able to find a way to upload a game on to mine(you can only upload stuff onto this one,it doesn't have a connection to the internet to download things onto it.

Sorry....I can't answer that question. I was only able to download music and mp3 files....not sure about books...let me know we're to get it and I will work on it Saturday. I'm not by my computer but I used the Walkman on the road today. So send me info and I will see if it works

I don't think it would be. It seems to freeze a lot when my son plays a game that requires a lot of data. I'm actually considering just getting him a kindle bc we've had so many technical difficulties.

I am not sure. You will have to upgrade it to Windows7.The one I have use Windows Xp tablet. I think some people have upgraded it to Windows 8.It is a very powerful tablet I am not sure what Facebook games require. You will need to increase the RAM memory.

Since the surface uses apps you would need to download the apps for the games you play and then link them to your FB account.

im quite sure about the games but most definitely the books can. When you download the Amazon Kindle app on your ipad you would have to go to amazon.com and then press send to the tablet. There may be another Amazon app to download to play the games unless the game is available in the iOs app store. Most of the time with games you associate them to your facebook account and any phone or tablet you log onto should pull all the synced data.

I have used it with my 4th gen iPad, but usually my 2-year old iPod Touch is connected. I seem to recall having used my iPhone 5 w/ adapter, but I can't find my adapter to test it. I have my iTunes and Kindle books synched with all my devices--and have Pandora and Spotify--so seldom have found the need to swap out the devices with this player. All I can say is everything I have attached to it has played with no problem.

No, the RAM on this tablet is good enough to just read a book. You have to move apps to an SD card to have enough memory to play a game.

I never downloaded Kindle books, You can get an Android app to do this. I love my tablet, It has became a big part of my everyday life...I purchased the keyboard which gives me extra power and usb port There are a ton of apps for android...email music movie's documents anything you need is on this tablet just download the app.

It's pretty good if playing on it. If downloading apps not so good it drains the battery.

It has less memory and runs slower over all. As for simple Apps it is just fine, I have kindle app and a few other games on it, works fine most the time, some apps run battery down fast. Very slow with WiFi, can only open one page at a time.

I have yet to have problems with mine. My old tablet refused to download books from Kindle any longer and that is how I knew it was out of memory. Did you check the amount of memory available? Do yo have many games downloaded?

It works great with the Kindle Fire, books download in seconds and Net Flick works fantastic. We have 4 MB of internet, never had a problem anywhere in the house.
