Is this tablet suitable for reading e-books that are downloaded from public libraries?

It sure is! Android has an app called Overdrive that many public libraries are using to lend ebooks.

Yes. Use the kindle app that is already on the tablet. All you have to so is log into your amazon account and you can download the books you have on your kindle account and even buy new books!

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!

Somehow, I got to be an expert on the Slick e-reader. I remember little about it, other than I returned it after a few days. And, that was a while ago. I don't believe that it is a tablet, which would allow you to get the Kindle app. Since it is an epub reader, one will have to convert the Kindle .mobi format, but is it possible? Do a Search on your computer.

I don't think it would be. It seems to freeze a lot when my son plays a game that requires a lot of data. I'm actually considering just getting him a kindle bc we've had so many technical difficulties.

I honestly do not know. I would not suggest this tablet for anyone other than a small child. It is not very good. I gave to my 3 year old granddaughter and purchased a Kindle.

Yes its compatible with tablets and e readers, the arm is sturdy, and its mounting mechanism makes it compatible with 7" to 13"+ units

Yes, you can add the Kindle Reader App from the Google Play Store and it works fine.

I use Aldiko to download and read my library books. I think it is a better reader than the Nook or Kindle readers. You don't really need Overdrive.

Jessica, So glad you asked before buying this thing. The zeepad we got was total garbage. I got it for my nephew and it was almost unusable. The screen is unreadable, it pixelates like crazy, and the device itself feels shoddy. Thankfully, Amazon is awesome and I was able to easily return it for a refund that I put towards the purchase of a Kindle Fire (the 159 dollar ad supported one). Lesson learned as far as I am concerned. The Fire is an awesome device and nothing in the under 300 dollar tablet market comes close to it for performance and value. As for 10-inch tablets, my ASUS Transformer is amazing and I use it constantly. Either would do what you are looking for. Hope this helps.

I don't know if it is an ereader. Mine will no longer take a charge after 3 months. When it was working it was verrrrry slow. I emailed the company, they said "send it back for inspection" but didn't give an address where to send it. There was no address in the booklet which was very hard to understand because it wasn't written by someone who understands the English language. I wouldn't recommend wasting money on this Tablet.

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.

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.

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.

Yes you can. There are several options to choose from. I downloaded the Kobo app and purchase books thru them. Then i just open and read them in the app. I've also read that library ebooks can now be read using the kindle app, but i haven't tried it. If you google it there are many options for you to choose from.

The reader works with the standard open EPUB format which is used by Google Play, so yes.
