Ebooks and Galaxay tablets?

Spock96 · 12-10-2019, 07:15 PM

Hey all,
Been a very long time..... I have quite a few E-books given to me by a friend on a few CD's. I have a dead kindle keyboard (Battery has gone caput after years of no use) So I was wondering if it would be a possibility to put those books on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, and also how would I go about doing that?

Thanks and I hope everyone is well.

You can put the books on the Tab 4. You'll need to get an app to read them. I use Moon+, available in Google play. I use the Pro version but the free version will tell you if you like it or not. It has enough features that a lot of people are happy with it.

There are a lot of other apps for reading as well.

You'll need to make sure you have no DRM on your books. Calibre, a free program, can convert them if you need to and one of it's plugins (google Apprentice Alf) will remove the DRM.

If the books are from Amazon you might find it easier just to install the Kindle app on your tablet and register it to your account and use that. I prefer Moon+ but the Kindle app is an above average reading app.
