Thanks tipstir for the info.

I tried a different pdf reader app: ezPDF Reader from the android app store for .99c, with the new app almost all worked fine and the reader gave a beautiful, very clear, rendering of the pdf text. However, it was painfully s-l-o-w!! About a minute to 'download' each page. After about 5 pages I couldn't stand it any longer and gave up. Apparently the tablet doesn't have enough memory to incorporate much into memory so it must download each page, flushing the previous page with the resultant slowness. Not really useable for image pdf files although probably fine for text pdf's.

Yes, it's back to BestBuy tomorrow. Now I need to set everything back to default, get rid of my email address, wifi password, etc.
