I don't know what was wrong with Google Play but disabling it and enabling it made me go through a somewhat painful process of validating it and now it's working. It may have been due to my not paying attention to what's on the screen; it may have been updating apps but the text saying that was very faint.

One of the things that I've come to painfully realize is that Android wasn't designed for these e-ink devices because it and the apps make the assumption that the device can display colors.

In any event, Adobe Digital Editions doesn't seem able to open arbitrary epub files, only ones that I've downloaded from my library? Is that right?

And when I long click on a book in the library and select Open With, the only available option is Neo, even though I have both Moon+ and Adobe Digital Editions installed.

At this point I can't say that I feel like this was money well spent.
