Can't downlaod books. Error message
DRM is digital rights management (copyrighted), the tablet doesnt support copyrighted .EPUB books, you would need to put a .EPUB without a DRM on it.

1. Turnn completly off the tablet.
2. With the tablet turned off, holding the return button while turning on the tablet-pressing power button. Keep holding the return button until you see the Hard Factory reset screen.
3. Confirm the hard reset procedure. Once done, simply wait until process has finished-the tablet will restart. This process can take up to 30 minutes, so it's very important that the battery of the tablet is completly charged before attempting the hard reset. If you can connect it to the charger while resetting, even better.

How can i get youtube to load on my coby 4.0 inhernet tablet
I am not familiar with that specific tablet, but if you have the Youtube app, and it just will not open, uninstall it, restart your device, then re-install the app. A lot of times updates, either to the app itself, the tablet software, or Android, can create slight incompatibilities in an app. A simple uninstall/re-install will often fix it. How to uninstall depends on your current software. On some of my Android devices I can press and hold the app icon which will open a little "App info" balloon. Tap it, and you will have an uninstall option. Otherwise you may need to go into Settings. If your Settings screen has tabs across the top, choose General. Look for something like Applications or App Info. Open that and scroll down to the app, tap it, and you will have an option to uninstall.

How to install google play app on my coby mid9740
All Android apps are files downloaded from the Play Store. The app file name is "com.android.vending" and it is found in this path : sdcard/Android/data.
The suggested method is to copy that file from an Android device (phone or tablet) to a SD or microSD card and move that card to your device.You can use the "My Files" app (folder icon) to go there and see it, then copy it
A word of caution: Many Android apps may not work with the Android version of your device because the manufacturer may have a modified Android operating system. I discovered this on my Lenovo ThinkPad which had its own version of downloading apps. I loaded this file and "Google Play Store" was working, but sometimes stopped.
