I don't understand why they are read only but if you right click on the file name and choose properties on the context menu then at the bottom of the 'general' tab you can remove the check mark from the read only box.

I would stay away from refurbs on these. The prices are pretty good with out having to take those chances. The reason I say go with 2.3 is that some things will not work on the earlier versions. I do have an Android 2.2 tablet and it does most of what I want but if I had my preference I would have wanted at least 2.3. That is a good price for the Coby, I have never messed with that one but I am on some android forums and many people do have it. On amazon it has a lot of good reviews from buyers too. I would make sure that what ever site you get it from you do have a return option just in case you don't like it. There really is not much to learn as to Android, everything is plainly labeled as an icon on the tablets and to get new apps there are lots of places to get those, if the tablet you get does have access to the android market you can get them there, or from amazon app store, or using the slide me app to get them from other sources. That has not been a problem at all quick and easy to get apps installed. Aldiko can be easily downloaded and installed from many app sources so even if one does not have it don't worry you can always add it. I see that Coby for a little less at this place Coby Electronics on the processor most you will see in that range will have the ARM11 800MHz (that range), that is pretty standard, some of the newer ones especially those with android 3 and up can have a dual core processor which is quite a bit beefier. You will also notice some say the screen is resistive or capacitative the really early resistive ones were very hard to get to respond, the newer ones respond very well with a finger nail tap, the capacitative is much more responsive and is what cell phones have and take a lighter touch with the finger tip. I have both but I have not ever had to use a stylus mine are plenty responsive with my finger. If you were used to the touch of a smart phone and picked up a tablet with resistive you would notice a difference but you quickly adjust to the differences in pressure needed. Also keep in mind that it is possible for them to be updated, the manufacturers do send out updates for them just like we update our pc, and on 2 of mine they updated the Android OS from a lower version to a higher one. I like to check the manufacturers site and see if there are updates listed for their products. My newest tablet told me there was an update for it the first time I turned it on and it was an update to the newer Android version which was really nice. I had an ad today in my email for a Velocity Micro Cruz tablet for $79 but it is already sold out, that one also has a lot of people that like it.

The email might not be the best option, depending on your connection. If you reduce the file size of the picture, you reduce the quality of the image. They have really inexpensive USB drives out now. I bought a 1GB drive for $14. You just drag your pictures over until it is full, then drag them into your MyPictures folder on your new computer. It is reusable - just delete them off after you have them transfered and do it again until you are finished. A CD will hold less than a 1GB USB drive. Large USB drives are available. Hopefully you don't have thousands of pictures on your computer - I have 10's of thousands! Make sure you learn how to use your burner and back up your photos soon - hard drives fail, no matter how new the machine - you are on borrowed time if you do not backup your pictures, and it only takes a few minutes.

I have an Old Acer Android Tablet (Acer Iconia A500 w/Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich), but it does show up as my Tablet (A500) in Windows 10. I can then access my photos and all other folders and files on the tablet. My Phone is a Windows Phone with Windows 8.1. I have no problems whatsoever connecting with the phone either! I have Windows 10 on my Desktop Computer, 2 Laptops and my Acer Iconia W4-820-2882 Tablet. All my Appointments, Photos, Documents, etc... are shared between them without lifting a finger. Just hooked up the Acer Iconia A1-840FHD w/Android 4.1.2 Kit Kat I purchased for my Grandson for Christmas. I shows up in File Explorer> This PC in Windows 10 just as my phone and all my Tablets do! Yes, I can Access Photos, Files, etc... from this Acer Iconia A1-820FHD Tablet using my Windows 10 Laptop while hooked up with a USB.
