E Reader Dumb questions, but once you download a bookonto the transformer, are you able then to read it without an active wifi connection. For instance, while riding in a car etc.?

Hi Nicole,Yes you are - taking the Kindle app as an example, when you access it with an open wi-fi connection detected, it'll then sync any new books from your account. But in "offline mode" you can read any previously downloaded books. Other Android e-reader apps like Kobo eBooks work similarly. Robert

How did you setup this router? Once you turn it on and your kindle or iphone is connected the first time... you'll be connected automatically

The Sony e-Reader will work just fine. I travel a great deal and sometimes stay at a place with only dial-up connection. I managed to download books to my Sony e-Reader with dial-up. With the broadband speed at home in the US, it usually takes less than 10 seconds to download a regular size paperback, with dial up it took &gt;2min, slow, but tolerable. (Hey, 2 min is still faster than going to the store). BTW, you can transfer books back and forth between e-Reader and computer, and do not need to store all your e-books in the e-Reader.

No, You don't need the internet (just use USB from your computer) or Wi Fi. It is great to listen to if you don't want to read it from the bible.

He had three iPads and was on a trip with all three runing watching differnet moves. As I understand it this will only work on iPads and Kindle Fires. No hotspot need for wifi need because this is a wifi memory drive. No phone support at all. I want to know if it will work with ePub and Mobic formats?

Once you download the book onto your device you do not need to be connected to the internet to read it. Just be sure it is on your device - not in the cloud - and you're good to go.

I hear that it does not have bookmarks for audio books. Does it remember its place when you turn it off and back on?

Well, very good question. I mean it' kinda cute for a net book computer but the really why I say it sucks cuz when I got it. I was so exited but when I tryed to go online. That's where I think the problem got started. I tryed to go to Internet connections. Then put in the wifi passcode but I guess didn't work. So after so so many attempts. I gave up on it. Hope the review helped.

The Wi-Fi is killing the battery, so will having bluetooth on.... of course you wont be able to conect for face book.... if she is just sitting around the house or in the car keep it plugged in. You can check out the specs online and see what the useage is.... I use it for my text books and it lasts through an 8 hour day without the wifi on.

Android devices have the capability of reading ebooks. Many public libraries also offer free ebook services and walk you step-by-step through this process.

Somehow, I got to be an expert on the Slick e-reader. I remember little about it, other than I returned it after a few days. And, that was a while ago. I don't believe that it is a tablet, which would allow you to get the Kindle app. Since it is an epub reader, one will have to convert the Kindle .mobi format, but is it possible? Do a Search on your computer.

Good idea. I think you'll be fine without Internet, because through the app you program the device - not an app speaking to the device. If you create rules with IFTTT, rather than the belkin app, you will need an internet connection.

Sure you can. I read my kindle books all the time. When you buy it and log into your account you books will automatically download to this device.

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.

It does not come with a C-wire transformer. If you are sure you don't have power coming from you AC (mine did), then you will need a transformer. The wifi module slides into the back of the unit, and is why they say it "includes 1 ..."
