the other thing that infuriated me and had me deciding to return it was that when i was scrolling up and down the sd cards directory to open up a book via the aldiko app, it would close every time i try to open up a directory. it would also close every time my scrolling reached the bottom of the list.
i got so frustrated that i never actually opened up an ebook to see what it would look like. i just reset it, charged it overnight, and returned it the next day.
google, if you are listening (or crawling this web page), please make a 12-13 inch version of the nexus tablet.

OMG that's HORRIBLE! I would have returned it too. But I think Costco has a pretty long return policy, and it might have been worth it to keep it longer and try to figure out some software solutions to those problems. But I can understand being frustrated with a brand new product and not wanting to have to "fix" something right out of the box.
Are you thinking this problem is due to the Samsung implementation of Android, and not the "vanilla" builds like you might find on the Nexus products?
