Welcome to the forums, kandy

The eDGe is much like a smartphone. It runs Android, which phones like the HTC run, and it's designed to be pretty easy to use with just a finger. It's the same as using an iPad, or any tablet.

Reading books is quite easy, and getting them is easiest if you use the enTourage bookstore (which has a large selection and decent prices).

If you're familiar with Calibre, then you'll be happy to know that mrspacemen, a forum member, has created an app that specifically lets you synchronize ebooks with your eDGe. See http://www.entourageedge.com/forums/...e-eDGe-library.

If nothing else, these forums are user friendly, and any question you have will be answered here, making sure that you enjoy your eDGe and don't get frustrated
