Thanks for your comment about avoiding GMail. I have an account of course to buy things from the Google store. But I don't want to use it as an email client. It probably won't make much difference, but I want to make is as hard as I can for grubby minded NSA and ASIS operatives to poke through my private files.

I'm making some progress up the steep learning curve, but have some questions related to the display.

- When I go back to the centre home screen I see My Library, with the covers of some of the books I have read and music I have listened to. I think this looks ugly; I'd much rather have a clean screen with the apps and widgets only. How do I turn the My Library display off?

- Every now and then, for no reason I can see, a little window pops up and asks me if I want new wallpaper, and gives me options. I don't want new wallpaper - at least not until I know what I'm doing. How do I stop this happening?

- On the first screen after I swipe left there are some RECOMMENDED FOR YOU icons. I don't want them, and don't want them to take up screen space. How do I get rid of them, and stop  new ones coming back?

- One of the  widgets I use the most gave me a fright today by disappearing off the home screen. I found it again by pressing the circle with dots in it and saw the widget on the apps and widgets screen. How do I get it back to the home screen? Pressing on it opens it, and trying to slide it while pressing it just copied it to the screen to the right of the home screen. I don't want it there either. Can I delete it and still keep the copy on the Apps and widget screen?

As you can see I have a long way to go, so expect more questions. Is there a good dead tree book I can read to help me blunder around less? I have Chris Herley's 'Google Nexus 7' no fluff guide, but it may be a bit too advanced for me.

Thanks, rasmith. I do have a Windows 7 PC, but very rarely use it for listening to music. I normally use a small hi-fi system.

It's been many years since it I had software to get the tracks off the CDs, so I'll have to start from scratch.

I've just downloaded the first song on to my Nexus 7, and have got the receipt from Google. But I'm afraid I haven't the slightest idea how to listen to it.

I tried using the Play Music app, but all I got was advertising to try to get me to  use other apps.

PS - is there a way to automatically add my signature?

Thanks, S.Prime

I'm not sure about 'widespread difficulty' in CSS support, perhaps because my experience is limited. All I know from personal experience is that the stylesheet in my ebook is honoured on my Sony, Kobo Touch, and (after conversion) on my Kindle Keyboard. It is also honoured well with Marvin and Bluefire on my iPad2, and quite well with iBooks. So the ebook looks good to very good on these ereaders - nothing remotely like the appalling shambles the same ebook looked like with Moon+ Pro.

If there is a deficiency across platforms my limited experience so far indicates that it is confined to Android devices.  I accept without question that the native Android reader used by Google books produces good results. But I can't use that ereader on my ebook, only on theirs.

I also accept without question that my ebook is quite complex, (with long line poetry and so on) and that Moon+ Pro may work with dead simple novels and such. But even there it can't bold titles and headings or even use larger font size. For what it is worth I think that the developer of Moon+ has gone too far in trying for it to be all things for all formats, and has ended up by ensuring that it won't produce an acceptable result on anything.

Thanks to you both, that's most helpful and encouraging. I'd like to make make sure I understand a couple of points.

Suppose I make a folder and side load ebooks to it; will the Moon+ reader be able to find those ebooks?

Suppose I download an ebook through Moon+; can I choose which folder it goes to, or does it go to the Moon+ folder?

If it goes to the Moon+ folder will I be able to get into that folder with another ereader?

A new topic: Does Moon+ cope with DRM? Apprentice Alf helps me to cleanse ebooks defiled by DRM, so it's not too important to me, but I thought I'd check.

I design the ebooks I do as ePubs, and then convert them to azw3+mobi with calibre. It will be good to have another way to check them as well as my weary old Kindle Keyboard. When presented with a mobi ebook containing azw3 and mobi which version does Moon+ use?

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks to you both. Now to do some more exploring.
