I'm a brand new Playbook owner, and have been struggling for 2 days to get my books onto it. With help of Calibre I was finally able to see them today, but got past my first chapter and was told 'demo version limitation' and it skipped 3 chapters! Not sure if this is due to the reader, calibre or some other glitch...but in the end, if I can't read on this thing, it's going back!
This is the 5th...maybe 6th version I've tried. Trying to stay at reasonable price for a tab that can double as a reader (and have reasonable battery life). I've tried Nextbook, Ipad, Pandigital, Cruz, a few others...this playbook looks and feels great. Actually best of them all (got the ipad at a great price - would have kept it, but it's sooo big and heavy!).
Anyway, as I said, Playbook is great, it's responsive, bright, good battery, but it comes down to the reader.
I just can not believe that with all the computer guys out there who are challenged to be told that it can't be done, that no one has figured out a way to have epub books (DRM protected) downloaded to the playbook! Every other system is congruent...
Any advice or input is appreciated!
Thnx,
Kim
