All the apps are self contained and need no connection. I use the tablet at the telescope.

The inkBOOK I just bought is running 4.2.2. Good enough to read on, and no Google. Also wifi only. I will not own a network tablet or ereader.
I have a Nook tablet running Gingerbread. Everything still works. Its linux.
