As I mentioned then in my product review, VTech always had the goal of providing FREE e-books for download to the V.Reader and now that vision has become a reality.
Six free, downloadable e-Books, worth $30, are now available online at VTech’s Learning Lodge download library. VTech’s Learning Lodge is a free online tool that offers downloadable books, games, customized themes and avatars.
Additionally, Learning Lodge allows parents to track their children’s achievement through a customized Progress Log which provides parents with an overview of how their child is progressing through key learning curriculum, all of which are age-appropriate. Online registration is easy and can be accessed by visiting: www.vtechkids.com/download.

I'm assuming this freebie has already ended? When I go to the site, I only see the selection to download the Learning Lodge Navigator, but not any actual books. THanks for your review!
no it hasn't ended! once you download the learning lodge navigator and register your product and create an account it gives you the coins to download the books...
I bought this for my daughter last night, but wasn't planning on opening it until Christmas. Are the free books only for a limited time?? Or will they still be available then?? Just wondering if I should go ahead and open it now and add these books........
Hi Jessica,
To my knowledge, the free books offer doesn't have an expiration date. All you need to do is register your V-Reader and then download their software and your account will be credited with 6 "coins". These coins can then be traded in for six free downloads of your choice. I surely wouldn't think that this promotion would end before Christmas and believe that it is something VTech will continue to do for a while. Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great holiday!
I purchased the v.reader for my son for Christmas about a month ago. Now I see the item in the stores with the 6 free book offer. Should I return the one I have or will the books be available with the one I have?
Hi Dawn,
The free 6 book offer applies to ANY v. Reader purchase, including those made months ago. Just register your v. Reader with VTech and you will get the 6 free coins which can be used to purchase titles from their online selection of books. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for your response. That will save me having to return and repurchase. I cannot wait to see my 5 year old play with it Christmas morning. I have heard a lot of positive comments about it.
Hi, I purchased the V reader last night and everytime i try to download the vreader setup wizard to my computer I keep getting an error message. Do I have to have the vreader hooked up to the computer first before trying to download?
Hi Tiffany,
No, I don't think so. I've had my v.reader for a while now, so I'm not exactly sure, but I think the software download has nothing to do with the v.reader itself. Now once you try syncing the v.reader you bought to the software application, you'll need to hook up the v.reader, but I'm pretty sure the program prompts you to do that. I never had any problems downloading the software from the v.reader website. Do you have another computer you could try it on to see if that solves the problem?
i have a problem trying to get the downloads it says i need a sb memory stick..i dont even see where one would be put in the vreader...if you could text me asap with the answer that would be great...706 616 8530.thanks
Hi Lacey,
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. In order to install a memory card for your v.Reader, you have to remove the plastic piece over the battery compartment. If you look carefully where the batteries are, you'll see a slot to input a memory card. Once you have a memory card installed, you should be able to download your books with no problems. Have a great day!
Where can I find the advertised, six free downloadable books, for my granddaughter's v-reader that i bought her for Christmas? I have tried every link but to no avail.
Hello,
You must download the software for the v.Reader from VTech. When you register your v.Reader, you will get six free coins which can be used to purchase six free downloads of your choice from the online store that is accessible via the software. Thanks!
where do i purchase the memory card??
There isn't a special memory card you need. Any SD card will work. I used an old one I had lying around the house that I used to use for an old digital camera.
Thx sooo much. I had one that i had purchased with 2 cards....so i dont have to use a used on..I had called vtech and was on hold for almost an hr. I just gave up!!
Oh, I'm so glad I could help! If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll do my best to help! :)
