can it be used as e reader

Yes. This tablet runs andriod, meaning you can download a multitude of reading applications, including Google Play Books, Kindle, and Nook. This is true of any tablet out there. Now, for around the same price range as this tablet, you can get a way better tablet called the "nexus 7". I know not everyone's looking for the newest and greatest, but for around the same price, the nexus 7 blows this p.o.s. out of the water.

It has a basic text reader. So, you can put e-books in .txt format onto it and read them. You can change the text size and color and save your place but you can't change the font type.

Don't know why it would not be ... it is an open concept. My mother used her Kindle on it prior to switching to an iPad.

No it can't. Its only compatible with very few laptops and even then it sometimes isn't recognized by the laptop. Unless you know how ,to program a computer to read it.

Yes it can. Cant answer all questions, but the reader can do just what your laptop can do with USB connection. I use it only for reading and can always find my lists, authors, what has been read, what you are reading and marks page you last read. Hope this anwers your questions - money well spent.

Sure you can. I read my kindle books all the time. When you buy it and log into your account you books will automatically download to this device.

Yes you can. It works quite well with either a book or your e-reader if you sit it on a pillow or two. Hope this helps.

The reader works with the standard open EPUB format which is used by Google Play, so yes.

Sony has developed their own e-reader app. You can try downloading it for compatibility with Kindle: https://ebookstore.sony.com/download/

Yes, you could use it for a smartphone. But it's really meant for larger devices such as e-readers or tablets.

No, there isn't such app for the this device. So you cannot directly read an amazon ebook using this device or any other ebook reader except the kindle. You will need a special software to first unlock the kindle ebooks and another one to convert it into the usual epub or pdf format. After that you can use any ebook reader to read your book.

yes. kindle and nook have a free app at the play store. likely able to check e-books from your public library

This is a USB device - neither of those has a USB port. If you had some sort of adaptor, then, you'd need a driver for the reader that would run on your device. Unlikely you'd find that since neither has a USB port so not many people will be running this reader. There is a real lack of card reader support for mobile devices.

Yes they can. Depending on the computer I am using I use the built in card reader or a usb card reader. Either will work equally well.

Yes but you have to allow other device/source and may have to have Kindle send you the link.

Sorry...can't help with the question. I got it for a friend and he has only used it as a reader.

If Kindle has an Android App then yes you can, because it has an Android Player. It also has a nice e-reader of its own, with Kobo books. I thoroughly enjoy the app, but at the same time I'm not a heavy reader. Plus there are always work arounds.
