Yes. Plug it into a computer. They're in the "documents" folder. Your audio
books are in the "audio" folder. Etc.

You probably have separate DACs for the MP3 player and the rest of the phone
anyway.

There's an intentional 20 second delay between the phone being ready and the
phone registering (at least in CDMA) because registration is a lot of work
on the server side (looking up roaming lists, etc) and they don't want you
screwing things up by intentionally cycling the phone over and over.
As for a long boot time, chances are you have a crappy slow SIM, and it's
taking 20 minutes to copy the data from the SIM into the volitile memory of
the phone

that cheap device is more computationally capable than your average PC
from 15 years ago. One day it'll be running Crysis and quality DAC's
will be common in even the cheapest models, let alone models geared at
multimedia playing as today's.

I thought it looked pretty good, myself - going to be interested to see
what comes out in the fall to have a look for myself.

No need to apologise, I hope that you enjoy your experience.
12.3 cm if you prefer. About the size of a cheap paperback.

I can't possibly remember the names now. But basically they like reading
crime / mystery / detective type stuff.
Like I said, you look under "books", and each author has a stack of
stuff. Look under "Kindle", and the lists come up blank or nearly blank.
