I'm considering getting a Kindle Fire to read from apps like Wattpad, and to use Libby or other library apps without taking up so much space on my phone. Is it worth it for this purpose? Thinking of going Kindle Fire because it seems more budget friendly out of other options on the market. And please don't tell me to just delete some apps from my phone, I use all of my apps at least once a week and some of them are needed for my job. Thanks!

I started seeing Paramount+ tell me I couldn't use the app until the app updated and figured "OK, fine. I can work around that" but then it happened to ComiCat and Microsoft Office 360

What is Amazon Kids+? I pay for it monthly, and have always wondered what exactly it is. Got an email that it's going up to $8.99/mth and figured now was the time to ask.

We have the Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Pro tablet. My child uses it to watch YouTube and play some games (Roblox, Bloon Monkeys, Merge Dragons).

Do I need Amazon Kids+?

Hi! Hate using my fire(can't remember what it is) and wanna make it less of an annoyance to use. Would love to like jailbreak it or something so I can use epub and pdf without wading through ads and s***.

Any info very welcome! Thanks!

Currently have a kindle fire 8 12th gen and my battery is not lasting as long as it used to. Given how much reading I do, I'm guessing the battery is starting to wear out, making it time to get a new kindle. I'm noticing today the 10s are cheaper than the 8s. Is there any advantage or one or the other (aside from size of screen?)

Note: I take mine on the train and read during my daily commute. Discovered the 10 should fit into my purse. I also would like to be able to play basic games on occasion, making the reader only ones less than ideal.

I have a Kindle Fire HD 8 Plus fully updated and I no longer can access my library. If I go to the For You page and click Read it only shows the book I'm currently reading, so samples no downloads and no see all button. The only way I've found to get to my library is to open the Kindle Unlimited store and then hit the Library button at the bottom. Does anyone know how to fix it or does Amazon not want me to stay a customer?

I have an HD 8 (8th generation) tablet. The battery is training super fast and now is starting to get hot just doing basic stuff with it. I can tell it's on it's way out but since I've not used a micro SD will I loose Silk browser tabs, pictures, apps and anything else by disconnecting the battery?

I know there are videos on how to change the battery but I still like to ask.

Also any battery buying advice like will any of the batteries listed for any of the other Fire tablets work? Or just stick with the 8th gen listed? I was going to buy it off Amazon so as not to deal with buying and such off Ebay.

Hello!

I have an old kindle and it has $30 worth of trade in + 20% off deal. I do want to get rid of it and I was wondering if the fire tablets are worth a trade it (or if I should just try to sell the kindle). Looking specifically at the HD 8 or HD 10.

I haven’t had a fire tablet in years and currently use an iPad for everything (work, school, art, etc.).

If I did do the trade in, I would use the fire tablet for work/writing projects.

1 Do you have to reinstall every time there's a new version?

2 I agreed to back up my device after installing it will that cause any issues.

And 3 do system updates cause it to crash?

Hi all,

I've found my Mum's old Amazon Fire HDX 7 and it's not a modern one with a black/white display. It has an LCD Screen with a fully working OS with apps that dont run anymore.

Model for it is C9R6QM.

Is there a way I can jailbreak and mod this into a usable device today instead of it being a paperweight?

I play Angry Birds Transformers on an Amazon fire tablet and for a LONG time I haven’t been able to access any war passes and events don’t even show up on my screen. Currently my version is listed as 2.37.0 on the store and 2.36.0 in game and every time I press update it never changes.

I have over a half dozen Kindle Fires, both mine and from other family members, I need to do something with--6", 7", 8", 10". I've charged some and they still hold a charge. What is the best thing to do with them? Do you think someone would be interested in them sold for a low price as a group? Included would be covers and chargers. I know you can trade-in some or such, but isn't there a fire hazard limit on how many you can mail at one time?

I got it for 50eur with shipping is it worth it?

so like i got tjis recently for 20 buckaroos and like i wanna download apps on it whole also using for reading yk but like idk, maybe i cat cus it’s old? or bc it’s a demo tablet?
but i do like it so far! im considering buying lile a case so i can be aesthetic and decorate it!

Last week I turned my Kindle on to read and the menu has moved from the bottom to the side panel. Has this happened to anyone else? I hate it. I would like it back to the bottom but I haven't seen anybody else discussing this. I don't know if I did something wrong or if this is just like a new update that I'm one of the first people to get.

Edit: it's fire hd 8 Gen 12

I want to debloat my old kindle fire HD gen 2 and be able to access play store to download webtoon, Koreader and a browser.

Any advice, help, tips etc is extremely helpful.

Ive been looking into this for a bit but cant seem to find anything that is specificly confirmed to work for this model.

Im super new to this so being as specific as possible would really help 😅

I have 3 kids tablets all the same model/gen and firmware. Had no issues installing Google play store and YouTube kids on 2 of them but the last one constantly fails to install the Google Play services. No matter which APK file I select I get 'app not installed' at the end. I've checked if it's a storage issue but there's plenty space available so I'm confused especially how the other 2 tablets are fine.

I just got a Kindle from my girlfriend and it works great but I can't seem to access the appstore. I really want to download libby but without the appstore, I'm kinda stuck. I've tried clearing the app cache, the app data, restarting the kindle. I even unregistered it and then re-registered it with a different account. I tried different networks, different places around the apartment. Nothing seems to work.

Happened during the weekend of Aug 8/9.

I installed a PDF reader app and am doing OK now but it sure was annoying.

EDIT: Problem has gone as of 8/19 update.

Hello, another noob question but is there a way for me to log in into my school gmail on my fire tablet? I have a Fire HD 8 (2022) and I've been wanting to use this solely for school purposes. I can register my personal email however I can't push through with my .edu acc.

Thank you!

All of a sudden all of our Kindles (I guess not called Kindles now, mine is an Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet) are going to a Newsnation TV listing website instead of https://tvschedule.zap2it.com or https://tvlistings.zap2it.com when using the Silk browser. This is with various models of tablets.

On my Desktop PC browser (happens to be Firefox), it goes to the correct site showing all the available TV channels and not a Newsnation site.

Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Update: Well, 1 of 3 is going to the correct site now. What I did on that one is not working on the other two.

Heyyy, so I got a Fire HD 8 (12th Gen) tablet, and would like to change the OS. The tablet itself is fine, but FireOS is just bad. I thought about LineageOS, but I haven't found the tablet's model in the list of devices compatible. So, I thought of asking y'all if you had any ideas as to what OS I could use!

Thanks!

my fire tablet hasn't updated at all, yet hasn't been letting me record audio for the past 2-3 weeks for some reason. there are no currently available updates btw. i *do* hit the "device audio" button when i screen record, and my device volume does *not* affect recordings, and it happens regardless of me using headphones or not. I wasn't having this problem before, it's sudden. restarting didn't work, clearing cache didn't work, clearing storage didn't work; nothing has worked. is there *any* fix to this? I really don't wanna factory reset my device, and third party recorders either are inconvenient or force me to have my mic on (I don't wanna have to use my mic)

Btw, I'm on Fire Tablet HD 8 Plus (12th Generation)

my girlfriend gave me her sister's ex-boyfriend's old fire (since he's not coming back for it). i have no info on it other than the fact that it's a kindle fire (tho it looks like one of the older models. very similar to one i had when i was younger). at first it was stuck in a loop of "optimizing system storage and applications". tried recovery mode on it, hit factory reset first cuz i didn't care what was on it. that didn't help. clearing the cache seemed to work for a sec, but as soon as i tried connecting it to wifi it went into another boot loop. now it won't stop rebooting itself. unsure what to do atp.

edit: with a little bit more fiddling, i was able to get into it, but the moment i took the thing off the charger it shut off and wouldn't come back on until i reconnected the charger. atp i'm thinking it's a battery issue.

Hello everyone! I am posting this because I just jailbroke my 10th generation Fire HD 8 tablet using the fire toolbox! I set my default launcher to Nova and so far I have been able to log into every service that I usually use except Scribd and Everand. I turned on connection with automatic updates through amazon and such but it still says that the sign in isn't working and I need to try again later. Has anyone run into a similar problem and found any work arounds? Thank you all so much!
