So basically if you have an amazon account with a Trinidad credit card on it, you're still unable to get books?

well that is an option lol and adobe has an app for android lol

to be honest the book were never an issue as the choices are endless in getting it from other places
the kindle to me is not a ebook reader but a tab at a hell of alot cheaper than other tabs that has the interface of an e reader lol

Navigate to System > App
RO will be selected here; change this option to RW
Paste the Vending.apk in this folder
Long-press on the Vending.apk until a small popup window appears, then choose Permissions
Modify the permissions so they are identical to the other apps in the same folder (RW-R-R)

Chimera · Postby **Chimera** » December 12th, 2011, 9:54 am

the instructions I followed is to cut the vending.apk file from the sd card

go in files/phone internal storage/system/app, click menu-mount-mount as read/write and then paste the vending.apk file

it shows that its pasting but then I can't find it.

considering buying the kinlde touch or PRS-T1 Wi-Fi Reader for readng pdf files. Need something that is eady to carry around without the expense of the tablet. my laptop too bulky to walk around with.

Any advice? I like the Sony because you can add handwritten notes just like book, but the reviews weren't as good as the kindle.

Postby **MadCrix** » April 2nd, 2012, 2:41 pm

kindle is fantastic for reading. have not used the sony so i can;t give you feedback on it

kindle touch is a bit slow to refresh the new page but it's a great e-reader otherwise. I'd always recommend anything with e-ink over led screens for reading books any day.

Driven · Postby **Driven** » April 2nd, 2012, 4:32 pm

The $79 Kindle is a godsend for avid readers. Not only is it less bulky, it's also much more convenient to have all your books in one place. Battery Life is ~2 weeks with moderate reading (~3 hours a day) and the E-Ink Display really mimics the pages of a book.

My only problems with it are the ghosting experienced before page refreshes (minor issue) and the inability to read in the dark (but I can't do it with books anyway) so it ain't no biggie.

wrt books... I *ahem* acquired *cough* books from the Bay of Pirates and copied them to the kindle when it was connected to my PC. :mrgreen:

I'm surprised there is no other thread on this! I finally got a Kindle PW2 e-ink for reading. Already jailbroke it and can't wait to mod it. Anyone else jailbroken?

Yeh apparently. I gone do some digging weekend. But really and truly it screams ereader only. The minute you try to do any real web browsing it fails. Tuner crashed it :lol:

But finally I can read a screen without eye strain.
