Glad you got it working, Marcy.

Regarding your reading apps, they didn't install books for me either until I created one folder for each app's name on an SD card. Kobo is indeed broken. EReader works well with fast page turns as does Kindle and alkido. I am still working on the pagination issue with eReader.

In the beginning I had non-connect Wi-fi issues but replaced my router and everything is OK. PD seems to be very finicky in this area. (This also solved my iTouch connectivity issues ).

I didn't expect the PD to be close to being as smooth or fast as Apple's software before going into this purchase and it isn't. Keeping in mind the price difference with the iPad is a big help here. I currently have no problems with crashes and I would not call mine slow.

If this doesn't work for you, you may want to try one of the devices with a 800x480 screen. I am coming to the realization, after a try at the fatally flawed Augen, that those might be a very good size and weight for a reader.
