Being an avid reader of books it is tempting to consider the e-reader. However I am completely new to these things. I would be obliged if some forum member would help me out with these doubts. (I have never owned a smartphone or a tablet. So I don't know how these things work.)
I have a BSNL broad band connection at home. How exactly does one get/buy books on something like kindle? Does one have to use some other internet connection on the device itself? Or do I buy downloads of books on my computer and then transfer it to the reader? I have some movies on an external hard disk. Can I watch these on my device? Besides reading books, watching movies and listening to music, what other computer-like functionality do these devices offer? I am thinking of basic things like wordprocessing etc.
I know answers to these queries could be available somewhere on the net. But I trust the opinion of our forum members more. And I am sure the information would also help other noobs who are contemplating e-readers.
Thanks in advance.
