Does anyone here use the Kindle app on the a500 with stock 3.2?
I have an a100 and it came out of the box with 3.2 and kindle app does not work... it just force closes. Now I am getting the update notification on my a500 to update to 3.2... but don't want to if it breaks my kindle app on the a500.
Was an early adopter for the kindle... so even though I don't buy books there anymore I own about 63 books on it I don't want to lose access to on the go. So basically just curious if 3.2 breaks the kindle app or if its something with the a100. Have heard that some honeycomb apps don't do well on the 7" screen.

Mine works fine. I use the Kendall and I am running a rooted Lightspeed 1.0.2 which is based on 3.2.
Hope this helps.
I hadn't installed the Kindle app on my A100 because people said it didn't work. However, with today's Kindle app update, I figured I would install it and give it a shot. I guess the update fixed the problems, because I was able to login, download an archived item, and read a few pages with no FC.

At MWC there was an app for the Economist and an app for Wired and yet here we are towards the end of May and no sign. Anyone know what they are waiting for?

nook supports magazines
For your information, NOOK apps can support quite some magazines and Kindle too. =)
The Economist says an Android app is in the works and will be coming soon - this may have been the one that demoed at MWC
Zinio will be the best magazine app when its available. They are actively working on a honeycomb version and will answer any questions on twitter promptly. There is a leaked version grom the galaxy tab that some people have hacked to work on the xoom but zinio's xoom version should be out soon. If you need access now try nook but I don't like the way that app works. Patiently waiting for zinio

Thats the android market - i want the Amazon market that comes with the fire
Go to Amazon.com link below and enter your e-mail address in the 'Getting Started' box. It will e-mail you the Amazon AppStore APK.

Get your books via the Kindle App located in the Android market or Amazon AppStore.
Oops my bad.

Thanks terracode your awesome lol! I hate that Amazon wont let me get any of the '(Kindle Version)'s I bought :/ any workaround? Before I flashed cm7 i anticipated this happening and looked for an app that would let me back up my purchased apps without luck, i found some app that did app2sd but i couldnt figure out how to use it
I am running into an issue with the Nook app that I use to read magazines, since almost all the Magazines on the Kindle App are for Stock KFs or Ipads. Anyways, the app works fine after the initial install. When I go back to it later in the day, this is what I get.
I also have this same problem. Uninstalled nook app and the reinstalled it. It works fine after the initial install then gives you an error when you go back to it. Wont sync or allow you to shop at all.

I do have a trouble ticket in for it with nook. Let's see what they say.

After doing the MAC address fix, the Kindle App now thinks I am a Kindle Fire. The only reason why I had the nook app was to get Magazines. It appears to not be needed now.
NEVERMIND. It seems like I jumped the gun. Some of the magazines now are available for Kindle for Android.
So does changing the MAC address on the KFire help with getting amazon VOD? While I'm not a big fan of the Amazon bloat I would like to take advantage of the free month of Prime and the ability to stream videos, but I don't want to be stock to do it.
I think I solved one of the issues. Since I changed the MAC address, I have not gotten one error all day with several reboots along the day. Maybe the nook app used MAC address for something???
To get the magazines to appear right set the lcd density to 180.

I am using the cm7 rom on my kindle fire. The one that whistlestop posted. I am trying to use an app from the Android market. I can download it to my fire but when I open it I get the message that it is not supported on this device. I know I read that it is not supported on tablets, but I was curious if I can "disguise" my tablet to look like an Android phone that is supported by the app. Thanks.

Which app are you trying to install? Have you tried getting the APK for it and manually installing it?
It is AppRedeem. On the info page the app says it does not currently support Android tablets but I wasnt sure if I could make my fire appear to be an Android phone so it will work. I have downloaded it from the market and I have also manually installed via adb with the apk but when I open the app it tells me it is not supported on my device.

Well I did some editing on my prop and manage to get my device to appear as a Samsung phone in the market but still no luck with getting the app to see my fire as a phone.

When I go to the Market it says it is compatible with the Kindle Fire both in stock and ICS. Just thought you might find that interesting.
app
Have you tried cm7 or miui? Both are phone roms tweaked a bit for phones and could possibly solve the problem. I think that the problem isn't making your kindle look like a phone because that would only allow you to download the app which you already did. Good luck
There is thread about getting apps to work on the ICS roms. I was gonna do some editing to see if I can get whatsapp to run on cm7. Same thing, tablets not supported.

Disregard that editing nonsense. Another thread specifically about whatsapp said to backup the app on a running phone with titanium backup and then send the three backed up files to the fire and restore app+ data. Worked perfectly.

Thanks guyute74. I dont have an android phone so I cant do it myself. If anyone with an android phone and titanium wanted to back it up and send me the files I would really appreciate it. Shoot me a pm and I can give you my email.

i want to know what they changed
Someone here at XDA has the update (I forgot who), why not ask them? :fingers-crossed:
I'm guessing it's probably just some bug fixes like 7.3.1, or something minor along those lines.

Bluetooth mouse is supported, I have two BT keyboards with touchpad that I've paired successfully. One is Logitech Mediaboard Pro PS3 and other Woxter K600. Its a laugh to see the little pointer in the Kindle screen....

well, want usb keyboard
could someone add otg support to stock?
Mass storage is the real benefit of otg, all the other connections can be made efficiently by bluetooth or wifi. I think....

Does someone know yet the changes of the new update?.
KIndle Fire HD Update is happening
Updated to 10.3.2? It seems there is even a NEWER update! :crying:
There is a new update for KF & KF HD!
KF2: 10.4.1
KF HD 7: 7.4.1
KF HD 8.9: 8.4.1
Here is the link http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...x36E18S96DJXEU
Here is what it says:
"We have a new, free software update available for Kindle Fire 2nd Generation, Kindle Fire HD 7", and Kindle Fire HD 8.9: In addition to bug fixes and performance improvements, the software update adds the following features to your Kindle Fire:
* Language Support for Canadian English and Canadian French - You can now change your device language to Canadian English and Canadian French.
* Show Battery Percentage in the Status Bar - You can now see the total percentage of battery life left when you enable this feature from the Device menu."
"This update automatically downloads and installs for Kindle Fire 7", Kindle Fire HD 7" and Kindle Fire HD 8.9" customers; however, you can also manually download the software and update your device using the USB cable."
. . . According to some of the posts at the site, it seems to add a digital battery meter, but not many other differences for the user (unless you're Canadian, then you get a more robust language package).
I have not been updated, but I am running Kinology now, and also my update file has been renamed!
But after root I have 1 black screen in Apex launcher. Anybody have problems like that? Methods to overcome? Please Help. Thank you very much
So I just got the damn update
Thanks amazon

I`m getting black screen on all launchers, seems amazon want to make it there device, only rooted it a few days ago and it then decided to unroot itself and mess up apex laucher.
Anyway rooting was easy used UnlockRoot.com free rooting application and it seems work, superuser is back and working fine :laugh:
Now I need to find out what service is Making the wallpaper black and, tried many apps to counter it but it just blacks everything out, dont fancy installing a new Rom as the amazon Rom works fine ( with another launcher ) Plus the fact I use the kindle as a kindle, so the ugly interface is handy to keep.
If anyone has solved it please post it, as I miss my Wallpaper!!!
