I had a 4gb SD card and it was not recognized when I popped it in, so I reformatted it and it worked... I forgot that you must unmount the card before popping it out and the IQ got confused, I copied the contents of the card to my harddrive and reformatted it, copied the files and folders - works like a charm.

I'm using Dolphin HD - works pretty nicely, had opera at 1st, was ok. But I liked Dolphin on my droid.

I did not get a USB cable as stated on the box, and have yet to get USB to work (hence the popping the SD card in/out).

So far no issues with the kindle app. I have the Droid Comic viewer - works ok. I used the pocketbook reader and seemed nice, I also deleted all the books in other languages.

Aldiko works nicely - but you need to import any epubs from a folder on your sdcard (eBooks/Import).

Read this entire post - great tips and whatnot, glad I joined

Welcome to MobileRead, Steve! Glad to have another PocketBooker here. Yes, this has turned into quite the thread, hasn't it?

My IQ also shows only Russian books. Maybe the upcoming firmware will remedy that situation. Keep in mind Registration does not work yet. I haven't heard back from Bookland about it nor have any of the PB reps said when it'll be fixed here, either.

Yup, it's important to unmount storage devices. Android is Linux-based, after all, and Linux really doesn't like to suddenly lose a storage device. I'm with you, Opera Mini just wasn't cutting it. Dolphin is my go-to browser now. The only thing I dislike is that it won't fit the webpage to the screen, like the default browser does.

I didn't get a USB cord, either. I emailed my seller about it, we'll see what she says.

Stick around, Steve. We're on the front lines of a brand new product and we can all use more information and help from each other.
