Hi :)

Everyone "thinks" its locked to Amazon but its easy to sideload apps (takes about 10 minutes) from then on....Amazon is history..

I have loaded Opera for browsing (very fast on wifi)

BBC Iplayer (excellent)

You can drag and drop videos or tv shows to it as well (excellent quality)

Books of course...there are hundreds of thousands of free ones, including the latest ones...

I bought mine in the UK (Ebay £139) brand new and its one of the best things I ever bought...highly recommended...
