The kindle fire looks nice.
I always use my tablet for ebooks and any android based device should be able to read copied books by simply installing on mem card / internal storage. You can get very inexpensive tablets these days. |

Kindle is best as far as I'm concerned.
Have tried on tablets and other E-Readers, but so far nothing has come close to the Kindle for me, and I read a Lot of books lol Only let down for me is the FW and the way it displays folders and files, but that is sortable using other applications. I have d'loaded a lot of books and had no problem at all yet (I refuse to buy a digitised copy of a book I own in paper/hard back lol) If you just want it as a 'book' then go Kindle, but if you want other features then go tablet.
