## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i download and read pdf file on the device?**
A: Yes. You can drag and drop them from your computer, or better yet use Calibre to convert, edit, find alternative covers, or simply import your e-books.

**Q: can you add a memory card?**
A: It's a fine e-reader, and I haven't needed extra storage, but to answer your question: no, to the best of my knowledge, my Kobo Sage does NOT have a memory card expansion slot or capability.

**Q: Can you read kindle books on this reader? I want a larger screen, but kindle does not offer a larger kindle :(**
A: Not without hacking your Kindle books. I would not recommend doing that. My advice: If you need a bigger screen, get a Fire tablet with a 10.1" screen. Not only will it work with Kindle books, but it will also do a lot more: watching movies, playing games, taking pictures and videos, and much more.

**Q: Is there a browser to surf the web?  can i download books in epubs from any websites on the web? not from kobo and not from the library. thanks!**
A: The browser isn't capable of properly displaying every web site but a site like Gutenberg works just fine..,epubs download directly to your Kobo.  From your phone/tablet/PC, you can also load epubs into Dropbox and they will download to your Sage's built in Dropbox section.
