Hi, I am wondering about which ebook reader should I buy, and I want your opine.
I just want it for read, not for playing games. I have been looking, and most of the people think that eReaders (Kobo and Kindle), with the eink screen are better than other tablets.
I have in this computer lots of epub books that I want to read.
I am wondering on this:
- Kobo Touch
- Kindle Paperwhite/Fire
What you think?
PS: One thing I don't like about kindle is that there is no memory card slot. (Sorry about the English)
If it's just for reading - definitely eink is the way to go. I have a Kindle (Touch) and a tablet. The Kindle is much better for reading, especially for extended periods of time.
A tablet is more versatile, of course - so it's a better fit for people who don't want it for *just* reading.
Brand is up to you. I have the Kindle since it was a gift. I haven't had any issues - the formats it doesn't play nice with, I have Calibre auto-convert.

Did you have a look at the Pocketbook 622 Touch? It is the one I personally use and I am very content with it.
Thanks guys, I'm going to search a little more.

Is it possible to get side-loaded PDFs to show up in Google Reader?
I have ezPDF Reader (free in Amazon Appstore a while ago) but it's not as clean a UI as Google Reader
For that matter can anyone get it to load side-loaded EPUB. As far as I can tell you cannot.
I use repligo for pdf.

Doesn't Aldiko Book Reader do it ?
Maybe you misunderstand me. I'm not looking for an alternative - I already have ezPDF, which is fine - I'm looking to see if there's a way to get PDFs visible in the Google Books app.
I'm assuming not.

So the only way to get books into this is to actually *gasp* purchase them?
I was looking at a few books to purchase on there a bit ago.. wow... expensive... come on... lower the prices ... there is no need for them to be that much. lol

That's not what bothers me. I have a number of tech PDFs that I'd like to use. Right now I'm using ezPDF, but it has it's issues. And I really like the bookshelf motif in Google Books.

I was being sarcastic. I searched the whole T.F. directory tree last night looking for where they might store the .pdf and I couldn't find it either. Don't know where the files are actually kept?
I'd like to import some stuff in there as well because it just looks "cleaner"
Could we get some love for the Viewsonic Viewbook vb730 on XDA? I know that it's not that popular of a tablet but it would be cool to have a place for questions.
Agree... Should any big head of Xda help me on this? New firmware? Best software for this?

Do you have the vb730? I'd like your thoughts on this device. How much drive space is set aside for apps. This looks like the tablet for me. I just think the reviews do not give it justice.

Yes I do. I am using a Vb730. I do think it is a combination product of tablet and E-reader.
The Internal Memory is 8GB and the space for data application is about 5 GB/8GB. But you can expand the capacity by Micro SD... I am using 16 GB Micro SD card (around 30$ I think)
For an e-reader, it use LCD screen so could be not very good for your eyes.
For a tablet, it is not multiple touch screen so you can not use two of your finger the same time.
Most of the Android software can be installed by using Explorer software of this. It is quite simple. However, you could not install Android Market Software... But you can use Amazon Application...
I do think it is quite good with the price you have to pay...
Thanks. Now just waiting for Christmas to get this or the Galaxy Tab 7. I really think the vb would suit me fine.

Hey guys, So i know the question was asked a million times before although non of the answers reffered to smaller brands like Archos or NATPC. So what im looking for is something that would have a decent community around it that would be making apps and roms for it etc. Because i am on a tight budget (up to 200 pounds) it is really hard to find something. (I want a 10inch, and i know im greedy for 200 quid)
So basically i want big screen that could let me play angry birds etc. Thanks for any advice
check out nookcolor or kindle fire, both are great and affordable, also roms can be installed on the tablet

hey i have a nexus7 and its okay but the drawing apps are so laggy with a stylus. Are there some good drawing/painting apps for this thing without much lag? Also has anyone found a 32gb on sale anywhere?

i personally haven't used many drawing apps other than snote, but that being said snote is a great app for simple drawing and there is little to no lag when using the stylus. I use it in class when taking notes to draw diagrams and such. You can select between different tools such as: pen, pencil, highlighter, and paintbrush which can also be pressure sensitive. I have owned this for about two months now and have nor regretted it once.
This 10.1 pen is great for drawing I ya the following paid aapps sketch pro and sketch book and ininfinity design, ask where really detailed drawing apps. Highly recommend giving them ago

Go check in the General section. There's a thread with posted sketches.. FYI, I don't think digital equipment can replace physical (analogue basically) art at the moment, but it's pretty ***king great if you're doodling and stuff (or doing cartoon sketches and not super detailed art pieces).
Any tablet with wacom digitizer is great for drwaing

Hi,
I was wondering how good is the ebook reading experience on a tablet.I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences as I have never owned a tablet.Will they eliminate the need to buy hardcopy of books?if I`m gonna use it for reading around 3 hours how will it hold... do eyes strain more ?
Currently Nexus 7 is the table that I`m looking to buy I will mostly be using the tab at home but is the extra cash for the sim version worth it?
I also read a great many issues regarding the Nexus 7 is it a safe tablet to buy how is support of Asus in inida?
Please do share your thoughts..

I have a nexus 7 and have tried to read on it. There is something about it I do not like compared to a book or even a kindle. It's easy to read but seems more distracting. Not too sure why though.
