E-Book?

Options
hello,

My Mum bought me a E-book reader for Christmas last year from
E-bog (I mentioned I would love a kindle :rotfl:) but being totally untechie I cant work out how to download to it.

I've looked on Amason and it seems to be saying that my device isnt compatible. Being a chinese copy it doesnt state make and doesnt offer a website where you can download anything so does anyone else have one of these and can you tell me how to work it?

Thanks

Jenny

    Not an expert, but it should tell you what format of files it can read.
    Once you have that, you can start looking for book sellers/free books etc in that format.

    Have you got any more information on teh make/name/model? someone might be able to find out for you.

    Well I just had a look in the setting page and somehow I altered the language all the options were in to Chinese........ I'm a walking disaster area.

    In the back of the book that came with it says
    Features
    Music format MP3, WMA,OGG, FLAC, WAV ........
    E-Book format txt, fb2, pdf, pdb,epub....

    The text is tiny it just goes on and on and on......

    Epub then no support for amazon format try whsmith or watersones, or the internet where I here told things can be found for free.

    Try the libraries too, lots of books there in pdf and epub. You can register at Bexley and Hertfordshire libraries without being a resident (for ebooks only).
