The tablet turns into a regular tablet with a parent password, so anything that may be done on a regular tablet may be done. So, yes.

You wouldn't be able to go from device to device, but if you bought your books through either the Nook or Kindle you can just install the appropriate app, like the Amazon Kindle app:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle&feature;=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hbWF6b24ua2luZGxlIl0Once you have the correct app installed you can access everything without having to re-download or copy any files over. If you have the books in epub or pdf format there may be a default reader built in, but I don't know about it. I use a Kindle for e-reader since the screen is more friendly to stare at for long periods of time.

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.

I do not believe so. I just reviewed the manual and it doesn't mention downloading capabilities.

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

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.

If Kindle has an Android App then yes you can, because it has an Android Player. It also has a nice e-reader of its own, with Kobo books. I thoroughly enjoy the app, but at the same time I'm not a heavy reader. Plus there are always work arounds.

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

I haven't myself tried to download any Kindle ebooks on it, but I've read that you must change the format to MOBI or something similar. The formats between Nook and Kindle aren't compatible without changing either formats.

You can download any book that Amazon sells, but it comes from Google Play app, not Amazon.I do not think the Kindle & Note 8 are compatible???

Hello Dan,Thank you for your interest in the Trio Droid! There is an Amazon app store on the device. I'm sure you can get a Kindle app that would allow you to download e-books. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Sure can. Tablet uses the common Android OS, and App Store has free Kindle app you can download.

only has to be connected to wifi to download new books. You can read anything that you have downloaded to devise without being connected to wifi.
