Acer Iconia Tab 8 W enough ram?

[Tanjamuse]

Hi.

Can anyone tell me if this device has enough ram for me to run a portable Calibre on it.

I have libraries with at least 100.000 stories in them.

This is the tablet I'm looking at:

Yes, just do not run very large conversions on it. This is the Windows tablet--upgraded to windows 10--that I have and it runs calibre very well using a keyboard or mouse, with just the tough screen just well.

Use the largest micro sd card it will hold.

I started out with calibre portable but switched to running regulator calibre.

I don't plan on converting anything on it, I just need to be able to run calibre, read stories and perhaps edit some metadata.

It doesn't have any sd-card slots as far as I can see, but I have a 2.5" harddrive which I had planned to use to install the portable calibre on.

Also, would I need keyboard and mouse to get it to work and can I zoom in to get closer?

Editing meta data will be doable using the touch keyboard.

No you do not need a keyboard and mouse, just makes it easier, i have a otg usb keyboard case that I use.

Yes zoom works very well.

Could you perhaps post a couple of screenshots for me to see?

I will consider the keyboard.
