Bought to be used as color eredear

I have other products for ereading purposes but wanted one for when I would like to view color ebooks. I loaded MoonReader, Nook, and Kindle. I uninstalled updates to other pre-installed apps I will not be using which even though it does not completely remove the app, it reduced the size of the app. I only use in Airplane mode when I am reading, and the battery life is great. Only Kindle and MoonReader appear to allow you to store books on SD card. You can read online how to sideload books for Moonreader and Kindle. Due to the older Android OS you cannot move applications to the card. Samsung should really release a newer OS for this model. A later version OS would permit you to run applications from the SD card. So be prepared for little to no space for applications, but if your using in similar fashion to me, you have plenty of space for ebooks dependent on SD card you use. Have to admit I am using this with my black and white ebooks now as well. There is a display setting in the Samsung for book reading, but even Moonreader has a blue light filter in their settings. For the price, I think it is a great value. I do have a S10 and S2 as well from Samsung.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Obsolete Operating System

This is an excellent tablet that has worked well for me for several years. The 7" size is perfect for me, anything larger won't fit in a pocket. I use this mostly for email and some web browsing while traveling. Unfortunately, when I wanted to update to a newer model, the operating system and specifications for the new 7" tablets is no better than the 3 year old device I already have. Too many apps are coming up as no longer compatible with anything older than Android 6.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
