I love reading Kindle books. You'll need to download Kindle for Android. Call Amazon and see if you can still download the app. They recently changedthe app store and lots of us Android users were shut out for the time being. If you can't get it directly. try sideloading. But I just downloaded some books directly from the Kindle Store. Good luck.

Hello J, I installed the Nook app and it seems to work. I did not try any enhanced or animated books because I don't have any. I can stream other things, like ESPN, so the enhanced or animated books should work. I hope that helps.

It already has Adobe Flash Reader and Adobe Flash Player installed. Updates can be manually or automatically. But I do have to let you know that there is suppose to be Android software update soon, but hasn't been out yet. So, the tablet gets a little painfully slow for those who are impatient. I only use this tablet for my Kindle and videos, and my kids are on it for the games. Hardly use the browser on this.

I wouldn't suggest it, I haven't tried the reader since you could barely read the print on emails. The font was so grainy that the color appeared to be a light gray rather than black. Don't waste your money on this tablet. If it is used as a reader, then go for a nook or kindle. I also returned this tablet immediately!

Hi! I have one of these, and while I love it (huge screen, great battery life, totally customizable file organization, best markup/annotation capabilities of any E-Ink reader), it can't read Amazon format ebooks (.azw format) and can't be used to access the Amazon ebook store app that comes on Kindles. It does (technically) have wifi capabilities that could be used to get to the amazon mobile site, but the wifi is unreliable at best and sometimes causes the device to crash.

I have a related question. My primary use for it would be to read technical PDF files (with equations and color figures). The screen size at 10.1 " and 1000x600 resolution seems quite good, but I would like to know if anyone has compared it to the HP Mini-Note which has a 1280x768 resolution, but at a 8.9" screen size.

You're not alone with this issue. When I first installed the ebook library software it did the same thing however, i just left it completely alone for a while and it resolved itself. I have also noticed however that the ebook library software slows down my computer pretty significantly for something that should use less resources than i tunes...maybe there's something else to this...

I returned this tablet shortly after I got it. It was poor quality & the seller was not easy to deal with. I would suggest in the strongest possible terms you spend your money on a better tablet. Good luck

I have no idea. I've been very happy with the Nook, but there are some books that have been formatted only for the Kindle, and are copy-protecyed that I can't run them through Calibre, so I'm considering getting a table that I -lnow- can read btth formats.

I find the screen is too wide to read a novel comfortably while docked. You could pop out the tablet from the dock and read vertically, but after awhile it becomes a bit heavy. Where I do use the Kindle app on the Android OS is with recipes. The presentation is crisp and the images render beautifully. Because tablet mode is Android only, you won't be able to use the Windows version of the Kindle app.

With 2.0 you can side-load android apps like the Kindle app.. also has good, free/cheap ebook readers you can download from App World

Jessica, So glad you asked before buying this thing. The zeepad we got was total garbage. I got it for my nephew and it was almost unusable. The screen is unreadable, it pixelates like crazy, and the device itself feels shoddy. Thankfully, Amazon is awesome and I was able to easily return it for a refund that I put towards the purchase of a Kindle Fire (the 159 dollar ad supported one). Lesson learned as far as I am concerned. The Fire is an awesome device and nothing in the under 300 dollar tablet market comes close to it for performance and value. As for 10-inch tablets, my ASUS Transformer is amazing and I use it constantly. Either would do what you are looking for. Hope this helps.

By the way, my brother received a Kindle fire for Christmas and it's decent but i found the browser to be a bit slow, and some of the e books i downloaded weren't working once the wifi connection was turned off. I looked in my schools bookstore and only a few of the books i needed for class were available digitally so I won't be needing a tablet soon but when i do buy one I think I'm going with the Nook.

your best bet is not to buy this tablet in the first place. If you already have it, there are good apps out there in the app store that let you read all of them.

You may receive different opinions about this tablet. My experience with this device has been very positive. I saved money and have been able to use the device without troubles. I have even dropped the tablet multiple times until I finally bought a case to keep it in. I primarily use my tablet as a Bible to quickly find chapters and versus much faster than most people can look them up in the Bible itself. Enjoy ...

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.
