Best os a;ways in the eyes of the beholder. However, as for reading books, Amazon has an app for android and I'm able to download and read books from their Kindle site without a problem. Likewise, Audible has a free app for Android that I have loaded onto my Zen ZiiO and have a whole audio library stored there. And, I have downloaded music from Amazon and I-tunes to the Ziio without any difficulty. There is also an android app available In Amazon apps to download from youtube to the ZiiO. My ZiiO can access the download site directly through my home Lan via .the built in browser and download directly to the ZiiO. Or, you can download to your PC then copy the file to the ZiiO. Hope this helps.

Cathie,I agree. My daughter owns a Kindle and I have an iPod touch with the Kindle app. I truly hope they will continue to offer that app for the iPad. Yes, I agree that the Kindle is a perfect e-reader and the backlighting in the iPad will strain the eyes, however, it will offer so much for those that want an all-in-one device. I'm still going to hold out until fall or winter of next year. If the app IS available for the iPad, I will definitely consider purchasing it. Love, love, love to Amazon and the Kindle will always be there.

I got rid of my Nook. Get a Kindle, you will be a lot happier. Nooks are junk.

Not long. And to be perfectly honest I'd go with a nook or a kindle. This really was a junk experience.

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.

Hello Robinbat, According to Amazon's Kindle page: "The Kindle app is available for every major smartphone, tablet, and computer." "The best reading experience on your Android phone or tablet, iPad, iPhone, Mac, Windows 8 PC or tablet, BlackBerry, or Windows Phone."

install aptoide market and you should be able to find an app for reading e-pub books. and you should know that this device is really laggy, as long as you stick to general use you should be fine, don't even try to use flash player in the browser. it does not have the horsepower for it, and the best browser for this tab is at m.opera.com get the mobile phone version of the browser not the mobile tab version because it cannot handle flash. You can also use opera mini and it is a bit faster but it is not as compatible with most websites, avoid the stock browser at all cost.

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.

You can download the "FBReader" from Amazon app store. This is my favorite program for reading free eBooks (mostly classics). It allows you to configure where the eBook library is stored on your tablet's internal memory or external microSDHC card. On the other hand, the screen resolution of this 4.3" tablet is too low at 480x272, so you can only view a small region of a normal book page. If you expect to do a lot of reading, get a 7" or larger tablet instead.

I found the NOOK HD + easy to use in the glare. As a reader, it performs well.

Yes, you can browse the net. It works the same as an Android tablet. However, you must have a mouse or a wireless usb remote. Otherwise it will be useless. You can also connect a usb keyboard.

Sure. If you have a good WiFi connection and a service to get the books. One note, the speaker sucks so you will want earbuds.Also, our German Shepard just chewed my stepson's tablet... Cracked the heck out of the screen, but they tablet is fully functional so I have to give them credit for being tough.

My 8.5 yr old lives his Nabi. It can do everything the Kindle can but also has the parent controls for piece of mind. It has a micro SD card slot so you can add movies and music without taking up room on the device.
