Also I now have the usb connector and have recorded some tv programs from the tv on to a usb stick but the device won't recognise these when I plug it in (fat 32 as far as I know) ,do I somehow have to convert these programs to a different format, if so any ideas how I do this?
thanks

Hi Linda-
Below are a couple of links where you can down load android apps to your PC. Once you have the apps on your PC you can drag and drop them to your Arnova.
I find it handy to have a "APK" and "Books" folder on my micro sdcard. And then I connect my Arnova usb port to my PC and put my apk files in the APK folder.
To install an app tap the "Files" icon then tap SD Card followed by a tap on the app you wnt to install. Follow instruction and it will install. Once you have the Amazon AppStore installed you can use it to get the Kindle reader and other apps.
I'm not sure what you mean when you talk about the TV shows. Do you mean that the usb stick is not recognized or that the TV shows wont play. If it's the later try the MX Video Player (link below - not on Amazon). If that doesn't work you will probably have to find a suitable conversion program for you PC. BTW, what is the file type of the TV shows.
I have included links to the Astro File Manager and to FreeWareLovers.com (a good place to et free apps)
One app you might want to consider is Mantano Reader that you can find on the Amazon AppStore. This is an epub reader that also handles B&N ebooks.
