Hi All,

Just bought my 7" Scroll Tablet today and it looks great.

Can anyone tell me how to use the ebook feature? I have loaded my ebooks onto a Micro SDHC card but can't see the directory anywhere. Is there a step by step guide?

Cheers.

The SD card shows up as /SDCARD/ in the main directory

Use a file explorer, such as ES File Explorer, File Expert or Super Manager.

I downloaded an ebook in epub format direct from Project Gutenberg and the ebook reader picked that up direct from the browsers downloads list.

Not ideal but it shows that it works.

The ebook reader uses the whole screen for the text. You have to press the context menu button to get anything else (that's the one with 3 lines in a box).

This includes text orentation. The software does not read the Gravity sensor like most things.

If you have the .mobi ebooks, you can mount the internal /nand flash and put all the raw books into kindle's folder and use that

Other eBooks format Im not sure - "Aldiko" seems a fairly good reader but not sure of the extensions it uses for the eBooks
