I would suggest that to some degree you get what you pay for and good hardware is expensive. I would also suggest being suspicious of any deal that appears too good to be true or buying from companies you never heard of. Those companies may not even be in business 6 months from now and in the case of China, where the discussion is not about the latest, greatest device but who makes the best knock-off of the latest, greatest device, to be even more careful. You might even want to think about how you feel about intellectual property theft. These no-name companies are often relying on others to do the R&D and simply copying the design. Frankly, some do it better than others. While you're reading reviews, you might want to make sure you are including some professional reviews from leading publications or reputable web sites. More than a few folks "rationalize" the purchase of mediocre equipment by downplaying deficiencies as a trade-off for a lower price. The simple fact is a lower resolution screen is a lower resolution screen and that cheap device with inferior hardware will never be an iPad or Xoom. Maybe off a little but kind of like saying a Chevy is just as good as a Cadillac and justifying it by thinking you never really wanted leather seats anyway.

In some cases people use a power strip or some type of plug in strip for all their pc equipment, once the pc is shut down and then they want to shut down the rest they just hit that one button on the strip and turn off all the power to everything, that can be good in a storm when you need to shut down everything fast. However when powering back up it can be a problem if that one button is switched and everything tries to power up at the same time instead of the proper sequence, so if that is the case it is a good practice to unplug your router before turning on the power button on that strip, so that the modem can do it's thing and gain the settings then plug in the router and let it do it's thing, once those are done all the rest of the stuff pc and laptop etc can be turned on. I know I am guilt of having done that especially in a storm, then I forget and just turn the power button on and every time I do that at least one item usually my PDN or my husbands laptop will have a problem connecting. glad you got it working again just remember that for future reference. That password is so long and uses numbers and cases so it can be easily typed in wrong on that PDN keyboard.

I doubt that you can do that. Amazon tightly controls its books so they can't easily be read on ebook readers other than Kindles. I have two suggestions. The best one is to download the free Calibre software to your computer. This is a safe, wonderful program that allows you to download books and then easily convert them from whatever format they are in to the format that works on your device. Once you do the conversion, you can then transfer the converted book to your ereader. Alternatively, there is a workaround that can sometimes be done on Nook devices to get around the Amazon restrictions. However, I'm not going to vouch for this, so proceed at your own risk.
