Most likely, but this tablet does not have a lot of processing power, nor a lot of RAM to run processes. You'd have a better experience with a more advanced device.

I think this is a good choice as long as you're not using it professionally. I use mine as a hobby mostly and in that case the pros outweigh the cons. The pros are the size of the tablet, lowPrice and features while the BIG con here is the driver issues. However yesterday I got a new driver sent to me and it's working it well.

I don't think so. I only enjoyed mine for about two weeks and had to send it back because of a defective power jack. Still waiting to see if they will replace it. But it's a nice tablet.

I might get an-hour. Ematic' nor Android apps impress me. Get a regular laptop computer. The tablet is so-so for reading pdf books' my primary reason for purchasing it. Cao!

The manual that comes with it is pretty small & basic... I don't think it'd help you much. BUT, you'll have access to all of the Internet with it, and Google is great at answering questions (= It's really not a terribly complicated tablet though.

I have only used it for email and reading books, so can't answer the questions. Sorry about that.

I love it. It's very good for reading, puzzles, etc. I think it works best directly over the reading matter.

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

It does for reading mostly. It does have flash but it does not work all the time. Also browser will crash very often due to memery limitations.

Well, I think you can use the Kobo ebook reader software, but if it won't read text files, then maybe you can download a .txt reader program from either Amazon or the Sam 4.0 site. I personally didn't like this unit because it crashed on me about 6 or 7 months after getting it and Sylvania would not respond to my inquiries about getting the 2.2 Android OS reinstalled again. Get yourself something else like an AGPtek TP718JQ instead and for less money. It has 1.5GH quad-core processor, Dual cameras, dual speakers, 8GB of memory and a 4.1.1 Android OS.

I don't know. I mainly use my tablet for reading and watching netflix. May be a question for the company that sells it.

I am sorry, but as I said in my review, I bought the Nook Tablet as a gift for someone. I have not actually used it. I do, however, own a Nook HD+ and it runs the Kindle App so that I can read Kindle books on my Nook HD+.

Yes, I allowed my 2-year-old daughter to use it for reading books and coloring. It's a simple tablet and easy to navigate. If allowing a small child to use it, I would disconnect the wifi as my daughter loves to shop in the app store ;)

I use mine daily with either an e-reader or a book. Works great for both! I am ordering a second one, so I can have one in the bedroom and one in the living room!

Not sure what you mean by "reader," but there are apps for books and stuff.

To 5 yorkies and H. Bowman: This should work just fine for the both of you. I've had this a few days, but today was the first time I've really had time to play with it. Its taken all day to get to get an eReader that will work good. This unit comes with Aldiko as the eReader app, but I couldn't figure out how to buy/download books (it comes with downloads to tons of free books, but thats not what I was looking for). Someone else on this site gave a web address to download Kindle for Android and now I have it downloaded (even started reading the book I was looking for). I was able to setup my email right away, although it didn't work very well through the setup wizard (I have yahoo mail). Since I already have an android phone, I checked the settings on my phone and just did a manual setup using the same settings. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will do what I can do help. Good luck to you...I'm loving my new tablet so far.
