Tips?
Start here:
http://www.freewarelovers.com/android
Download all the apps you think you'll like.
Kindle, Kobo, Aldiko, and Overdrive Media console are a good start.

Check out Coolreader 3 through the link here:

If you can find it, the Audible app.

For a desktop-grade browser, Dolphin HD 4.0.
If sites with Flash video are important, Skyfire and the Youtube App.

Install the largest files first.
If you get the storage-space notification, uninstall something; otherwise the larger apps (especially the browsers) will become unstable.

Check the various threads here that link to PB-compatible dictionaries and thesaurii, etc. They work fine with the IQ dictionary app and there are some really useful ones floating around.

If you want Android Marketplace access, try the tips to run it in a PC emulator found in the comments here:

Word is the next release of Aldiko, 2.0, due by year's end, will support Adobe DRM'ed ePubs, including B&N DRM and library books. So if you don't mind side-loading ePubs from the PC, Kindle and Aldiko 2.0 might be the only reading apps you'll need until the PB Reader is up to snuff.

If you *don't* want to sideload, Kindle and Overdrive will let you get content straight off the net.

If you like puzzle games, look for Klotski.
