Kinda disappointed...

My husband says I'm trying to make the machine do things it isn't intended to do, but the reason I bought the device in the first place was because I was given to understand that I would be able to make it do these things:
1. Read ebooks that I already have (as opposed to buying them from a DRM store)
-The pdfs I have show up so small on the reader side I can barely see them. Magnification does little to help this.
-The books I have converted from .rtf to epub take 25 minutes to load, 5 minutes to magnify/demagnify, and I've been trying to skip to a page in the middle for the last hour now and I think the thing is frozen.

2. Download apps from the Android Market on the tablet.
-I spent all evening on Wednesday and all evening tonight making the emulator work only to find that the apps I wanted to download aren't available in the emulator version of the app market.
-I have tried to find a crosswords app and an .rtf reader that translate well to the tablet, but everything I've tried either doesn't work (crashes or won't install) or isn't optimized to the screen.

3. The Amazon product page stated that the thing had 8gb of storage. Upon receipt, I found it had 3. I emailed the distributor and (after having to send them a screenshot) was told that was a typo on Amazon's part. They offered me a return shipping label. I asked for an 8 GB micro sd card. (Might as well try, huh?) They offered me a return shipping label again.

I really hate to sound like a complainer. I spent a week reading through and lurking in this forum before deciding to take the plunge. I was SO EXCITED to get this thing I was bouncing off the walls the week between buying it and receiving it. I refreshed the UPS tracking page like every 5 seconds. In better news the decal I ordered arrived today and looks awesome. Unfortunately, if I end up returning the thing, I'll have to peel that thing off it...
