A couple of question of the Google Nexus 7

1- How do you find using the usb cable to connect to usb's/sd cards because there is no sd slot on the tablet, is it easy to add and remove things and is ther eenough space on the 32gb

2- are you able to add all of your office documents on e.g. word, pdf and are their any good apps to read and create new text document

3- I have an ereader (all in epub) so can I just add these directly to the nexus and are their any good reading apps besides the one that comes with the tablet

Thanks

1- i'm not sure if you mean the computer usb cable or the usb OTG cable. it depends what you want to use it for. the only way to fill that really is with video. how much video do you need to ba able to store at any one time?

2- plenty of office type applications and built in viewers for all those things.

3- lots of decent ebook apps.

Whilst the question has already been answered, I'd be cautious reading on the Nexus. I'm happy viewing comics on it, but an LCD is really poor compared to any eReader for plain text.

its perfectly good for reading text - particularly with the decent resolution it has ....

However .....

Its a very different beast to an e-ink device which will me much easier on the eyes for prolongued reading sessions and will have a battery that lasts MUCH longer .....

I have a tablet (well more than one) and I love it. My wife has a Kindle and there is no way she would swap it for a tablet as her requirements differ greatly from mine.

Aye, text is very crisp on it, I was as you may have guessed, comparing to eInk.

My ex happily read books on her Playbook (sideloaded Kindle App), whereas having tried it, I went straight back to my Sony Reader.

I've read several paperbacks' worth of books solely on my N7. Perfectly good for reading.

As for USB, I use Nexus Media Importer to read memory cards from my camera. Works without any problems, only problem is that it's only works read only.
