Acer Aspire One or Kindle? My questions are: Can you download books on an Aspire One, the same as Kindle?

MusicLvr, The Kindle is not a computer, it's an ebook reader, so don't expect it to do what the Aspire does. The reason you see the poor reviews is that about the only people to report back are the ones with problems. I've had my Kindle since October and absolutely love it. I currently have about 250 book on it. If you really want to research the Kindle, may I recommend that you visit: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php - it will open your eyes. Can you download books on an Aspire One, the same as Kindle? - Yes and no. The Kindle uses a proprietary file format that cannot be opened by Windows, so you will not be able to buy Amazon books and read them on the Aspire. However, there are thousands of books available elsewhere in other formats (txt, doc, pdf, prc, mobi, etc.) that you can download to your computer (many of them for free) and read. If you look around, you can probably find a free ebook reader for your computer for those formats that Windows doesn't open itself (prc, mobi, and mayby a few others), but you won't (at least at this time) find one to open the Amazon books. So, here's the thing - the Aspire is a Windows computer. It will open and let you read any file it recognizes. The Kindle is NOT a computer - it's a reader; it doesn't use Windows. Check out the above website - you can ask all of the questions you want and you'll probably get better and maybe more accurate answers.

Noooooo, is very clear "KIndle PC", PC personal computer, A PC uses Windows and this tablet android system. They are not compatible. You can install app for kindle for free. or Donwload Moonreader pro, and read any format epub(Apple) or Mobi Kindle. for converting books to different formats use calibre.

yes - but you need to download the Android version of the Kindle app. I have many Kindle books on my Asus tablet

Yes, there is a Kindle App. I don't know about books you already have or how Kindle works but I have used the Kindle App and downloaded several books, no problem

I am using the Aspire One for my Acer notebook. So far so good! It's well worth it with the price so reasonable.

Yes you can. And it works just as well on the iPad as on the Kindle Fire. I downloaded it just a week ago, so if you read someone else had trouble, I assure you it working now. And it has the same as Kindle fire, put your books on the device (iPad) download, or keep in the cloud. Did you know you can get a Amazon Kindle "app" for a laptop too? I have one on my laptop too.

Can Sony delete books off their e-readers? I don't think they can or do. So that's one major advantage it has over Kindle, sadly. I really wanted a Kindle, but until this mess is sorted out with 1984, I'm going to stick with less controlled systems. I guess I'll have to live without whispernet, which I think sounds like a killer feature if it isn't used against me.

Its really two different devices, Kindle has a gray scale screen, Asus has colour. The pros with kindle is the mobile capacity and the weight but it should no be compared as Asus way ahead with all and have so much more features (memory, processor, storage,gps,wifi, etc) The Asus is a definte buy intended for more than book reading.

Yes, of course!! I have the Kindle app on mine. The really great thing about it is that you can archive books and save them for reading later - and then have "home" books that you are currently reading. That way you save space on the device. You can also download other reader apps as well. Happy reading!

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???

I haven't used the Kindle, but I have a Sony Reader, and I'm very pleased with it. I did research, too, and the ultimate thing that points me in Sony's direction is that it's an open system--there are more file formats available for it. Also, with the freeware programs on the Web, you can do things the Kindle does (i.e., download newspapers) without getting the more expensive device. Books don't take that long to download for the Sony device, though you do have to plan in advance what you want to read, since you can't download it anywhere. While there are definite advantages to the Kindle (Whispernet), I really like my Sony Reader. I haven't used the Kindle, but I have a Sony Reader, and I'm very pleased with it.

Yes, it will run the Windows version of the Kindle app. The number of books depends on the size of the hard drive, but even the smallest hard drive available on the Acer would hold thousands of books.

I asked the customer service when it's going to be available and this is what I got:"I apologize for any inconvenience this causes, but at this time "Acer Aspire One 8.9-inch Mini Laptop (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) White " is unavailable to us and we're not sure if we'll be able to obtain it in the future."Wow they are not even sure if they are going to get it yet...
