Guest Mogedwards Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I can't compare with ipad, but you can put various ereaders, including Kindle on the Vega Go to the Advent Vega support page and you can download the latest software with flash. It is quite easy. http://www.myadventvega.co.uk/ The Modaco ROM is free unless you want to go into the kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vansphone Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 As you will know there are different formats for eBooks so you have to be careful to buy a reader that matches your books. As my ebooks are in a number of different formats (I have been reading ebooks for a long time) I use Kindle, FBReader and ezPDF. Non of them look as good as the native ebook reader on the iPad but they do a good job. You can load .mobi books you already own into Kindle so you don't have to download them. FBreader is for my ePub books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest achromic Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I've been using Aldiko for ages on all my droid phones. The latest version (2.0) can use pdf as well as ePub format books. That might be worth looking at :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be worth looking at :D Yes Aldiko, I completely forgot it and it is one of the best. The only thing I am not sure about is the way it imports ebook into it's library. I don't know if this means it copies the file creating a second copy on the SD card or is it just linking the ebook to the library. I also forgot Laputa. I uninstalled it from my Vega. It looks good and it looks like you are actually turning the page but I preferred the other readers mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ViPaSoft Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I use Aldiko 2 all the time. I convert my books using Calibre on my Laptop to epub and put them on my Vega. Then import them into Aldiko. I Think Aldiko creates a copy in its own folder structure. Haven't looked into that, [maybe you can then delete the ones you imported from, will have to check that out later]. Anothe great feature of Aldiko 2 is that you can long press on a word and it gives you a definition and example, [most words anyway]. this is great as I read a lot of sci-fi and horror and sometimes the Americanisms throw me a little.
