Ebook reader/tablet.

What I intend is; obtain a very cheap - simple tablet for reading PDF as a bare minimum. Someone told me I won't be able to transfer files without Wi-Fi (my PC doesn't have it), I was hoping file transfer would be as simple as USB - the same person told me; "not without using Wi-Fi to download the app you won't". Any help please? Thanks. The NewsGroup for eBook Reader is pretty much called GOOGLE. It sêms like you misunderstand the question and answer 1. In order to BUY or brorrow eBook from library or similar you will need either Wi-Fi or 3G (or similar) in order to transfer ebook from store or library 2. PDF is the last thing you really want. In other word it would be nice to have PDF supported, but you don't really want PDF eBook Reader. IOW, the other format(s) usually work lot better with the eDoob reader than PDF format 3. With most eBook readers (not iPod and most Apple products) you should be able to transfer eBook using USB. Unfortunately the vast majority of the ebooks I have are PDF, although the Kindle Calibre app might solve that one. I was thinking of avoiding Apple stuff unless I was offered a S/H one at a price I can't refuse. I have a Netgear dongle that is intended for use with a Wi-Fi router, presumably the Wi-Fi would be integrated into the tablet - would my USB dongle complete the link? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_points "An ad hoc network uses a connection between two or more devices without using a wireless access point: the devices communicate directly when in range." Windows has a dialog like this you could look for. "Set up a wireless ad-hoc network" http://media.wiley.com/Lux/12/280512.image8.jpg Paul |
