I use my kindle e-reader extensively but I would like to have a bigger screen. Can I access the kindle library ( particularly the free books) on this device as easily as with my kindle without additional costs or special procedures?

Sure can. Just load the Kindle app for android devises and you're good to go. I have both a Kindle and my G-Tab and have my Amazon account set to default to my Android device.

Yes! You can read nearly any format of ereader by downloading a free app like moom reader or cool reader, from the google play store. These apps. Allow you to read the standard epub formats and kindle mob formats as well as and a few other formats. Cool readr even supplies links to free ebooks like the guetenberg project. You can adjust brightness, text size and backround colors, for both apps.

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.

Yes you can get the Kindle app for the Cruz Reader (just downloaded it - you can go through their Cruz Market to get to the freewarelovers.com/android/category/reference market or just go there directly in your browser and the Kindle app is there) I'm guessing they have some kind of an agreement with Borders to not advertise how exactly to get the other eReader apps since it comes with the Borders app as the base eReader

Yes you can. You will need the Kindle app, available for free on the Play Store. This tablet is great for reading on. You can get the app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle&hl;=en

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!!!!

I don't have this specific device, however, if this kindle has a micro usb port, you will have no problems.

No, you can't put Kindle books on it. It has to be a PDF or EPub format. I mainly used it for borrowing library books online. The one I had was not wi-fi so I had to connect with a USB cord to transfer the book from the computer to the e-reader. I would recommend a Kindle reader instead.

I use it more than my Kindle, especially for books that have color pages like photography books or guide books, etc. Also, the only drawback to Kindle usage is you have to go to your browser (Safari, Chrome) and go to Amazon.com to purchase the book vs being able to browse the Kindle store and make purchases and download samples directly in the Kindle app .. In the end its just an extra step vs. the actual Kindle devices. I can say the battery on my iPad lasts a very long time as long as you put brightness at 50% (which is seriously quite bright, I don't think you could look at the screen very long at 100% without going blind, lol). Drawback is it takes a long time to charge fully (not like a phone that is quick, but again, it lasts a long time once charged so long as you're not watching videos). I have some non Kindle books in .mobi form and since there is no way to "put them on the iPad" with a cord like the Kindle .. I just upload them to Dropbox into a folder I named "Kindle" and I use the Dropbox app, click on the book, then in the upper right hand corner there is a little arrow, click it and select "open in Kindle". Boom it will now load the book into your Kindle app and you don't need to go to Dropbox anymore. Highlights still work and notes, and bookmarking etc. just like all the other books, however books on your device vs. directly from Kindle don't "sync" to other devices, but that's cool, because they don't on Kindle devices either.

Honestly if you already have this just open the market and install Kindle or Nook. Once you open the app you are in reader mode, none of the other features matter. Just find someone a little more tech savvy to install the book apps and if you want an email app and put their links on the front page and everything else can be forgotten.

Yes you can. It is really nice to read the books on it too!! Though I still like the Kindle because it is smaller and lighter!!

I agree with the other answers, you can download the Kindle app which allows access to the Kindle e-books

Yes, I have installed the KINDLE app as well as the NOOK app. The BORDERS app comes with it it and all three work GREAT! I have bought and am reading books from all 3 sources. You can get the Kindle app at freewarelovers.com, and I found the NOOK app by searching for bn.ereader.apk (I think it came up as bn.ereader-2.apk). I really like not being tethered to only one source for purchasing eBooks.

Kindle uses an Android system but my experience is that it will only accept apps loaded through the Kindle Store. Easy enough go to the kindle store and search for it and try and download the app before you buy.

Yes, you can add the Kindle Reader App from the Google Play Store and it works fine.

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.
