Serves its purpose as an E-Reader+

I did a lot of research before buying an e-reader tablet and because of the size, the price and the fact that I've always loved it, for this decided Satisfied with Samsung products. Expandable storage allows a MicroSD card to expand storage from the standard 8GB at a significantly lower price than buying an e-reader or tablet with the same internal specs. The height and width dimensions are about the same as a mass market paperback and are perfect for everyday use and fitting in my purse. The Android operating system allows me to install all the apps I need for reading. Besides a few news and magazine apps, I use the Kindle, Nook, Aldiko, and Kobo reader apps, and I'm sure in the future I'll find everything I need to read all my e- bring books together. In one place. Each app works independently, so I can download reading material straight from the web to the app or device, or update my libraries with anything I buy on my computer or other device. The Dropbox app is a good intermediary to get free books from Project Gutenberg or documents from other sources in Aldiko. The tablet's physical makeup makes it ideal for reading e-books. There's a button in the lower-left corner that offers different options depending on the app you're using, and a back button in the lower-right corner takes you back from the book to the library. To use the Kindle and Nook apps as an example, once the apps are running, you don't know you're on an Android tablet and not a dedicated Kindle or Nook device. Of course, there are other perks to having a tablet, including the ability to connect to free Wi-Fi to surf the web and email, games, Google Maps, music, weather, and other cool Android apps ( which are very similar if not identical for iOS), widgets and front/back panels. Camera. The screen can automatically adjust the brightness, so you don't always have to fiddle with the settings to make it comfortable to watch.
