I'll probably be quite content with the Amazon app store after this; they do offer the paid version of the Aldiko app and I'll most likely buy it from them now that I've been able to try out the free version. I may sideload a couple more e-reader apps before I decide.

Sorry for the wrong directions to Apps from Unknown sources. I looked at my older 8.9" Fire (runs an older OS) and assumed it would be the same. I do have one of the new 7" Fires, but don't use it a lot because even turned all the way down I often find the backlight too bright and I don't like the low resolution screen much either. Got it as a gift though so it's hard to complain too much.

One of the things that had me so frustrated with the device yesterday was that every time I Googled to find out how to do something, I came upon directions that didn't match what I was seeing because they were talking about different/older models and not differentiating. Even at Amazon, some instructions were wonky. Though I did find the Unknown Sources option in Amazon's instructions once I knew there was such a thing to look for!
The screen seems OK for me to use for reading. Truthfully, these days my preferred method of "reading" is audiobooks anyway. But I did want this tablet to replace my temperamental old e-reader, especially for the touch screen, so an epub reader was essential.
Thanks again!
