Hey everyone, how's it going? I wanted to know if anyone on here reads ebooks a lot on this device. How's the reading experience mainly with regards to screen size? Do you find the screen too small for comfort or is it good enough? It would be great if anyone out there has also tried to read PDFs (which mostly don't do very well with text wrapping/extraction and hence must be read in their PDF form).
I've ordered the Nexus 7 tablet because I need a hand-held device to read ebooks/PDF on. However, since I have an old HTC Desire, I'm wondering whether getting the Galaxy Nexus and killing two birds with one stone wouldn't be a better choice.
I've looked at a lot of reviews online and I'm satisfied with this phone in every other way. I also know that I'll have to spend $350 instead of $199. However, my primary concern is screen real estate. Is it big enough to provide a satisfactory reading experience? I know I can go look at the phone in a store but I'm looking for feedback from people who've done some reading on it for a reasonable amount of time. Just a glance or spending 5 minutes with the phone in a shop is not enough to make a good decision, IMO.
Thanks for your help.

the screen is superb for doing just that, the colors really stand out.
of course the only draw back is that natively you dont get the whole 4.65 because of the navbar, but you can fix that with a couple of mods and even without the mods, its great!
you can't really get much of a bigger sized screen unless you go with One X or galaxy S3.
hope i helpped
Hey, thanks for replying. I'm not worried about the navbar too much because most ebook reader programs allow you to hide it. How's the 4.65" screen for reading for extended amounts of time? Did you ever think it was too small? Also, have you tried reading PDFs on it?

I really love it both for ebooks and for reading PDFs. I'm frustrated that Google Play Books still doesn't let you highlight or take notes on Android when that feature has been on iOS for months. But hopefully it's coming. And, in the mean time, the Kindle app lets you do all of that.
Great ereader for me. I use kindle app

Hi,
If anyone is like me, buying one gadget isn't enough.
I want one of everything!!
And im pretty much there now, got my laptop, got my new big TV.
GOT MY BABEY HTC ONE X
My question is, I wan't a tab, NEVER EVER buying an iPad though, my question is.
If I bought a 7 inch tablet, would it be pointless as the HTC one X is pretty much 5 inch? Would I notice a difference between sizes of screen etc. As I'm looking at the Nexus 7 at the moment.
Or would HTC One x users say that getting a 10 inch tab, such as the Galaxy Tab is a better IdeA?
Because I don't want to buy a 7 inch tablet, and be let down as it isn't big enough.
Thanks in advanced.

What the **** do you mean by that you idiot?
Listen, I was asking a question alright, don't want to answer the question then piss off.
XDA is being ruined by twats like this.
Just piss off you stupid twat..! If you've got nothing useful to say then just go play with yourself.. And leave the helpful people alone...! Grrrrrrr!
I agree with you there mate..!
To answer your question, I've got a one X, a nexus 7 and a Motorola zoom (10") and each size does look very different.. I read a lot on both my phone and the nexus and I find the nexus easier to read over long periods of time, not to mention the fantastic battery life on the N 7 compared to the one X also great for traveling with.. The 2 together are really good as you just use the one X as a hot spot and surf using the N7! Hope this helps?

Finally a useful reply. Thanks very much mate.
Just one question, does the N7 screen look lots bigger than the HOX, or would you say get a 10 inch tab?
Cuz I want something that I'm going to use, instead of resorting to my PC all the time.
I want something that I can sit in bed with, and not think "Jeez, this would be easier on a PC".
Basically, can you tell the N7 is much bigger than the HOX, or is a 10 Inch tab the way to go if looking for a bigger screen. (This doesn't make sense I now, but hopefully you can figure out what I mean)

Lol I take it your one of the dumb apple monkeys then ahaha if you ain't goin to help don't post
Back on topic if you won't a good cheap tablet I would recommend n7 but if you fancy just that little bit more and a bigger screen I recommend looking at the Asus transformer range

I agree, he's dumb and hasn't now got the balls to reply to defend himself.
He's obviously still a child. (If not literally then mentally).
I think the ASUS Transformer Pad is way out of my budget. £200 tops is really what I can spend.
I'm gonna look round town to see if theres a N7 I can have a look at, because I'm not gonna purchase a tab if the screen size isnt a big enough difference.
Thanks for your replies guys !
Morning,
I'm pretty much the same as okuda1971. I have the HOX, an N7 and a Prime.
The overall screen real estate you get on the N7 is almost double the HOX and is great as an all rounder. I do tend to keep the N7 and the HOX together to use the HOX as a hotspot when I'm away from home/work.
The N7 is big enough for me to use at work as well as at home, even in bed.
The other half has a Vega (Nearly 10") and more often than not ends up borrowing the N7 for bed time browsing.
The simple answer from me is to find an N7 to play with if you're not sure and compare it to your HOX. Even better would be to find a store where you can line up your HOX with an N7 and the 10" tab of your liking.
If you're still not sure then just buy a 7" and a 10" :laugh:

Yup, am going to find a N7 and compare it with, thankyou very much you guys great info.
What sort of stores will have an N7?
If you're in the UK then try PC World, Currys or (Oddly enough) HMV.
When I was searching for mine, HMV were the only place with any stock left.
The guys in my local Currys (Kettering if you are near enough) were only to happy to let me play with one in store. Before telling me that they were out of stock.
One thing I would advise though, as some people seem to have had issues, is to ask them to bring out a couple before you buy. Just to make sure there are no issues.
If you aren't sure of what issues there might be, then there are plenty of posts detailing the possibilities, though overall the percentage of units with issues is seemingly quite low. Going by Google and Asus' figures.
Currys had one on display not long ago but don't no about your area
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Thanks people, deffo going to have a look around for a N7 on display.
I'm not buying one from store though, I will purchase straight from Google I think.
I just want to personally see one for myself before taking the plunge.
I've heard nothing but good about the N7, and if anything I'm buying it just for JB !
PS RUN OUT OF THANKS PEOPLE !
Personally, I've had no trouble at all with my N7.
It's a great device and JB just puts it above the competition. My poor Prime hasn't seen too much use since the N7 came home except to check for a JB OTA
Google Now is quite effective if not a little freaky in that it learns where you work and live. Mine now shows me the traffic and route to my office about 20 minutes before I usually leave. Google now knows all...
Wow, now your all making me want a N7!!!
Glad we could help
The worst part is when you have been playing with one in store and have gone from the "want" stage to the "need" stage only to be told that they don't have any in stock. At any branch of Currys or PC World in the UK .
It's like an implosion of disappointment.
Yes, but now I am prepared for that! So when I see it, and fall in Love, I know that I will have to wait.
But hey, thats what woman do? Play hard to get so that when you do get it you love it even more?
Same with tablets I guess
Interesting analogy.
As long as you can handle waiting for delivery and don't do what I did. You get funny looks sitting in a Currys car park searching Google for places nearby that might have them in.
In the end I used up quite a bit of fuel and had to send the missus to the HMV in Northampton (with my debit card) while I was at work.
In case you're concerned, I don't have that much of a problem. I was going on holiday the next day and wanted one for films on the plane.

Random question, I know, but I'm a third-year law student, soon to be lawyer, and am contemplating the purchase of this tablet. I thought I'd just throw this question out there to see if now or in the future any lawyers or law students use this tablet, and whether they find this tablet productive for their work. Aside from personal entertainment use, I would like to use the tablet as a more easily accessible version of my laptop. Ideally I'd use it to highlight PDF documents, conduct some research, respond to emails, etc.
Thanks!

the stylus is nice and it's a high end device, name brand, unlocked bootloader... I only have one complaint. the back is kind of slick making it slide easy

This is a great device for email (I use for gmail and corporate email), note taking, pdf annotation, research.

The Note should be perfect for the job, it's exactly this sort of work it's designed for. I'm not a lawyer, nut the Note has almost completely replaced my laptop, having something compact with a battery life that lasts a whole working day & beyond is so much more convenient.
If you're using it for client data or other confidential/sensitive information, make sure you're appropriately covered on the security front should you lose / misplace the device.
As for software recommendations: I use EZpdf, Aquamail and Office Suite amongst others.

I'm an astronaut and I found the s-pen and this tablet are much better in space than the old ball point pen and paper. That s-pen just never seems to run out of ink... Until the battery goes flat.
But seriously, as an Engineer there is no way this is a laptop replacement. Yes the screen is nice, the battery reasonable, Touchdown is close on having the features of Outlook (but not quite), note taking is OK (well the best digital way I've found for meetings but not perfect), editing office documents it doesn't really do so well in with multiple office packages (viewing is OK though), and any other software I use on my laptop/PC well it falls short there.
I have a windows 8 tablet/convertable which is definitely a replacement for the laptop but keep a desktop for more serious work. But the windows 8 tablet sucks as a tablet compared to the note for QUICK viewing of things like documents, emails and researching on the internet which you have listed.
Hey guys,
Since I got my Nexus 5 (9 months ago),
I'm having hard time to find any use case for the N7 - the N5 does everything I need!
I want to revive my N7 usage and looking for some nice ideas -
what do you do with your N7?
do you carry it around with you?
what do you do with it that you don't do with your smartphone?
Cheers
Reading books, Facebook, little email, games for kids... I split the time between N7 and N10 depending on battery status and kids' needs.
I have a Sony Xperia M as a main phone and I rarely take the tablets out of house...

wow, you really carry the N7 with you everyday, along with your smartphone?
I use it to travel (replaced a bigger, thicker, much heavier HP TouchPad). Read books on the plane, read emails, browse, watch videos in the hotel. I also bring it in my work bag and use it if I go to lunch at a place with free wifi. Even as small as the 7 inc screen seems compared to larger tablets, my phone's screen (S3) is even smaller and I much prefer to use the N7 for the above usecases. I think that would even be true with a larger phone (phablet).

Depends. I don't have an unlimited data plan anymore, so depending on how much data I have used I will use my personal phone as a hot spot on weekends on the rare occasion I can't access a free hotspot and I need to be connected. If I am at work and at lunch, I might use my work phone (a S4) as a hot spot, but only if I am working through lunch.
I was on vacation a few months ago in an area with very limited wifi (none in the condo unit), so I used my personal phone as a hot spot but again I tried to limit usage (heck... I was on vacation, and didn't really need to be connected that much). Even with that in mind, I hit my limit when I had to download a new ROM on my phone to resolve an issue.

No problem. I am very happy with the N7 (2013, Flo model) running SlimKat 8.0. Sure, it would be great if it was a tad larger (screen diameter) without making the tablet too much larger (less bezel). Battery length is fine, speed is fine, and so far everything app I need works well on the N7.
And... getting access to free wifi is getting easier and easier. I tend to choose places that offer it (hopefully if more people do, more businesses will offer wifi). Near my office I have a Taco Cabana, a Panda Express, and a McDonalds (all McD's offer great wifi). Airports are hit and miss still it seems... I hate the ones that use wifi businesses that push you to buy wifi. Most hotels offer at least basic wifi.
As my eyes get progressively worse with age (and I have both a strabisnus prob and nearsightedness) the cell phone screen just isn't large enough for extended use. So a tablet I can easily put in my pocket is a great tool. And... it doesn't bend. :laugh:

My LTE N7 is basically an alternate to my Note 2; anything "tablety" I want to do I do on my Note 8.0. I like the N7 but I love my big Note!
My phone (S3) is used for all above things outside of the house. As soon as I get home, phone gets put away and N7 comes out.
Youtube reading books. and fb
btw there is a good drift race i often play it:good:

Screen door effect is not as bad as people made it out to be. The controller is nice and natural feeling. I suggest using both head straps when you get it. Facebook account is mandatory for Occulus related software. And if you want to browse the internet in VR, get the dedicated Samsung Internet browser app, not the built in Gear VR browser on the bottom menu.

it's been pretty good for me, with low expectations because I didn't see too many games coming out for it (I'm glad that promo gave us a few good games)
but still, needs work and more support
(Drop Dead) was a good experience for me plays a lot like house of the dead plus its free of course so very happy so far
not bad i guess, its not perfect but its free right
only few free stuff in the store mostly demo but over all not bad for a first time VR user
my 8yo daughter is loving it
Used it for about 20 minutes when I first got it. Haven't touched it since. Would have preferred a free SD card instead
Dead and Buried is fun as hell, so is Drop Dead. They make very good use of the controller. The 3 dimensional art in the "Oculus 360 Photos" app is pretty damn cool too, it makes me want to find more 3d art. I also enjoy taking 360 degree photos with my S8+ and then viewing the photos in the Gear VR. Watching videos isn't too bad either, you get that big screen feeling when you're no where near a big screen.

I now have 3 of these things [1 from the Note 2 and 2 for S8 and S8+]. The controller is a nice addition. I've played a couple of games so far and enjoyed the experience. Downloaded a simulation of flying through the galaxy. That was really cool! I enjoy it for what it is.

Cris, I received email updates from Samsung with tracking info once it was confirmed sent.
As for the headset, I came in with no expectations and as such, was pleasantly surprised. My entire family thought it was 'cool,' and my wife has actually put in more hours playing Drop Dead than anyone else, lol.
For those with the 'grainy' concerns, have you tried adjusting the image with the scroll wheel thing on top of the headset? I didn't notice it was there until the second day. (I didn't read the manual)
Didn't use the one at all that I got with the S7 edge, not once, and still haven't used the new one. Shoulda sold em. Maybe I still will. Idk they're cool but only for like 10 minutes. That's just me.
VR streaming sucks. I download all 180 and 360 VR content.
