Whether your Galaxy Tab runs Android 2.2 or 3.1, it offers a great outlet for you to enjoy books. The Amazon Kindle app that is preinstalled on your Galaxy Tab is stylish eReader that enables you to browse, purchase, download, and read eBooks from your device. The Galaxy Tab 10" also comes preloaded with the Google Books app, along with three free books. You can download the Google Books app for free on the Android Market for the Galaxy Tab 7".

Both the Amazon Kindle and Google Books apps enable you to enhance your reading experience by offering reading aids such as the ability to increase font size and change background color. If you prefer a different eReader, you can shop the Android Market for other readers, such as Kobo and Nook, and then download and add books from other sources. Consider trying out a few of the available readers to see which one you like the best.
