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.

Which epub reader? Do you mean from Cruz Market that is on Cruz reader or is this something you did from a PC? I want to read my epub books too but not having luck with Aldiko.

Download and run Calibre. This is a free program for both Windows and Linux. it has both a converter to/from mobi and most formats, as well as an uploader to your device. Calibre is a great program that really works both to organise your books and make them work with your device!r00t

Hello Ronald, This may have been from a broken internet connection, and you should contact the company you purchased the eBooks from regarding this matter. Unless, it was through the library or some other free source. Then, you would need to contact that organization about this matter. We are sorry we could not be of more help, and we hope you will consider shopping with EZCORP in the future.

I know it's probably too late for the person who asked this; but for anyone else with the same question...I think giving any of the Kindle e-readers (not necessarily the kindle fire 'tablets') would be a better idea...they are CHEAPER, and they'll be much more versatile. Not only can you install a Bible on them, they can hold virtually thousands of other books!! I have owned this particular item AND I've had a Kindle touch; the latter was cheaper, lasted longer and was sooooo much more versatile! (I do not have any connection or work with Amazon)

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!

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.

On the sony website when the e-reader is described they indicate that you can access 500,000 free books from google ebook website. Can you tell me whether you have tried this and if it works?

If I get any kindle books I convert them to epub using calibre on my computer and then I load them on to my Samsung galaxy tab sch-i800 and read them with Aldiko or nook. Aldiko is nice because it lets you customize the font and print size and nook is good because it lets you enlarge pictures or maps.

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!

I would still buy the Nook HD+, the screen is better, the operating system isn't as locked down (IE I can install regular android on it and use it as a normal tablet, it had a microsd slot and even the native ebook software is superior. I use mine with the free Calibre on the computer (which can convert any ebook file to any other ebook file and am able to read books from anywhere. If you aren't just using it as an ebook and are unwilling to learn to put a normal operating system on it I would probably look at another tablet as an option. I will say this has far better specs ( screen /processor/memory) at a lower price than any almost comparable tablets!

Thank you Alan. I will have to try that out. I ended up getting a Nook from B&N.; I was able to go into the store and play around with one which made me feel better about buying it. I know that there are some books on Kindle that I'm going to try and convert.

Go to the Android Play store and search for ebook readers. In short, yes, you have dozens of choices for a variety of formats plus Kindle and other proprietary formats, PDF and a variety of open ebook formats. The only hardware aspect is this has a great screen.

Most any MP3 player will work for books. A couple of things you may want to consider --- Where do you plan on downloading your books from? Many libraries have services where you can "check out" downloadable media and listen to books for free. Unfortunately, most of these services DON'T work with Ipods or Zunes. If you plan on using one of these services, check their website for compatibility. I also primarily listen to books on my MP3 player. I had an Ipod Nano (my daughter accidentally lost it!) and it was my favorite. I really miss it and keep trying to convince myself to splurge and buy another. My son has a Creative Zen and it also works well for audiobooks. Some of the lower end, cheaper units are designed primarily for music. With these, it's hard to access a specific track. So, for instance if you're on chapter 20 of a book and accidentally lose your place, then you have to "click" through 20 chapters to get back to where you were. On the better units like the Ipods and the Zen, you can go right to it. (for instance, sometimes I forget to turn the player off when I turn the car off and it's hours ahed of me) If you ever listen to more than one book at a time, make sure it has a bookmark feature. Otherwise you'll lose your place in book 1 when you switch to book 2 and back.

I've been using a Zaurus C3200 and a Zaurus C1000 for years as an ebook reader. It's way better than a Kindle because it is backlit so you can read in the dark in bed. I keep it on my nightstand plugged into its adapter so that way there are no battery issues. Buy it from Conics.net or any store that sells Japanese merchandise. It's awesome; there are THOUSANDS of little handy apps written for it (http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/) and with a wifi cf adapter you can carry this thing in your pocket and check your email or surf the web with Opera anywhere.

Hello J, I installed the Nook app and it seems to work. I did not try any enhanced or animated books because I don't have any. I can stream other things, like ESPN, so the enhanced or animated books should work. I hope that helps.
