I have been downloading all my aps to the my SD card. I am just playing with it hoping the 2.2 firmware makes everything work better.
Currently, I am working on book readers. The bookshelf contains all my books but it opens them in Aldiko. Holding down only gives me the option of opening in Aldiko.
If I open fbreader, then I can go to library and all my books are there also. I am not sure how I got them there, but I had to press on the books located on the SD card and eventually they showed up. I like fbreader the best and wish they would show up in the bookshelf. Again, hoping 2.2 does something here.
Neither, fbreader nor aldiko seem to have access to the dictionary. Speaking of dictionary, the IQ came with an english to german and not a regular dictionary. So I need to figure out how to access a dictionary. I have dictionary.com app but I have to leave the book to use it.
I loaded the kindle app but all my books are epub so it doesn't read any. I didn't want to try converting them but I might if it has a dictionary.
I also used calibre to transfer books I had already converted to epub for my Sony. It worked fine other than it did not recognize the IQ; I just have to select the directory and then it worked fine. It was easier just to copy and paste than to the SD card than use calibre.
I have just started playing with the Newspapers APP and I like it. This is one of the reason I bought the IQ, getting newspapers and magazines took time to put on my Sony using calibre.
I tried the dolphin browser and Opera Mini but went back to the IQ browser. It seemed a little easier to use; however, I will go back and look at them once I understand them better.
No I don't know how to install the firmware, but the site says coming soon. I assume I am going to lose everything when I do.
Even though this seems challenging, I like it much better than other options because it lets you setup things the way you want versus being limited to their whims. Still new to android but learning quickly.
