There is already a Kindle app in the Market. If you have Amazon Prime you should be able to use that to access the lending library.

The kindle app doesn't have that option, only the one that comes with the fire other other kindle devices....

Yeah. I realize the kindle has no camera. Or mic. So is it possible to hook up a webcam or something similar to my kindle fire in order to make it capable of video chatting and taking photos and such? Thanks.

I don't even know if android even supports external hardware like that, let alone the Kindle Fire

You already answered most of your question. Next time search for "video chat" under the KF forums and see if you get a result. If none, then your answer is "no," it does not support video chatting at this point in time.
I did check the forum first -_____- so thank you anyways. Sucks it wont work.

There may not be a camera, but it appears people have mics working on the KF so you could probably use Skype to voice chat at least.

I would think that eventually someone would start working on usb-related external options?
Alright thank you all. I was just curious.

It seems they stream their videos with Flash but I guess Adobe / Google don't get along. One person from Amazon said it worked great while another person said it did not work.
But what about the books - will they work on (unrooted) the Nexus 7?
The amazon kindle app for android works just fine. Is this your question? You can also install the amazon app market on the N7 from Amazon's website.

Quick question, is Amazon Kindle app better than Google Books?
You can side load Adobe on an unrooted N7. You just have to use a browser such as Boat or Firefox.

What you're trying to do is not feasible.
I want to transfer over my apps from my apple store to the Kindle fire HD is it possible? If so, how?
Since that's not an option can I use the google play with the kindle fired HD instead?
That's not a possible task. Two different OS/platforms... different code... no way to do it. You get what you can get from amazon app store.

I'm sorry bro its not possible. Just enjoy your sweet tablet with your other half. sorry
Yes on PLAYSTORE.
Apple Sync
This is a good question. Since Apple uses a BSD Kernel and quite a bit of proprietary layers over the Kernel, it just not possible to "Sync" the applications to Android ICS (Kindle 7" HD 7.2.3).
Now if you would like to Sync Music, Movies, Podcast, etc you may purchase an application for the Kindle named DoubleTwist.
Email, Contacts, Calendar, Task Lists etc can be done through IMAP4
Ok cool, thanks

SyncMate by Eltima Software is a good solution to sync iCal & Address Book from a Mac system to KFHD.

DenusAndre,
Once you root the Kindle, then install Google Play Store, the doors open wide. You will save lot's of $$ over
Amazon App Store. It is not to say the Amazon App Store has nothing to offer, it does. We have found that
overall, the Google Play Store offers more to the end user. Thank you for taking the time to post your
comments.:good:
Anyway to get that working? I tried searching, but the search box on the HD app is god awful. Anyone have a modified apk or anything, one that'll make it work on here? I'd really like to get it working

Only if you get a kindle fire. In a nutshell, it is heavily tied into their OS, which is not stock android and will not work outside of that environment. The only way you'll ever see it on the Nexus 7 is if Amazon releases it a s standalone apk..
For now, you have to just use the website.

I've been watching various threads on this one for weeks. I'm hopeful that Amazon will release an app for the rest of us soon given that 1) they just released an app for Google TV, and 2) they make most of their money from media, not Kindle hardware....so I'm hoping the speculation that they are limiting it to the Kindle for competitive reasons, is false.
The only way I've been able to watch Amazon VOD is by loading flash and using Firefox. It works, but it is FAR from ideal.

To clarify, the Google TV app only works on two LG television sets. It does not work on any other Google TV devices.

Understood....I guess my point was more that they are still releasing android apps, even though there is speculation out there that they want to limit android access to the Kindle. A while back there was the same speculation about iDevices, but now we have both an iPad and iPhone/Pod app. I'm hopeful we'll have one soon....
I hope someone figures this out soon.
I am on the 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime, and my clock is ticking.
I won't stay with Prime unless it can replace Netflix for streamed movies.

Amazon's selection of free stuff to stream isn't as extensive as Netflix, I've found. At least not in what I like to watch. They do, however, have a lot of things that Netflix doesn't have. We split a Prime membership with my brother but I don't intend on getting rid of our Netflix or even Hulu+ memberships just yet.

I'm assuming you meant Amazon Prime Video? As of now there is no Android app for it aside from GTV app (which only works on select TVs). There's one for Kindle tablets and Fire Phone, but no other Android devices have access to it. In fact, you can rip APK off the Kindle Fire or Fire Phone and sideload it on any Android phone, but they won't work and force close on any device other than Kindle. As of now, your only option to watch Amazon Prime Video on Android is to use browser that supports Flash, such as Dolphin Browser.
Amazon recently did mention that they may come up with an app for other Android devices soon, but that hasn't happened yet, and I doubt it will any time soon, so I'd say browser is your best bet.
Okay, apparently it seems the app recently got released. Here's the link to it.

Amazon Instant Video should already be available on Roku. What model of Roku do you have? Depending on the model, your other option is to use screen mirroring, so long as you have supporting media streaming device.

It could be because its international variant. They're very picky about that kind of things. You could try an app called Market Helper. It's an app that helps your device disguise as some other device so you can download "incompatible" apps from Play Store. It requires root access, but if you're interested, try the link below.

If that doesn't work, well, I guess you could simply download the APK, and side load it. I did that on my Nexus 7, and it does work perfectly(it shows as incompatible on Play Store). Once you have the Amazon app, you can download Instant Video app from Amazon appstore right from Amazon app. They don't seem to check for compatibility on Instant Video app, so you should have no problem with that. It's kinda interesting as even though they say the tablets are "not supported" the app seems to adapt to tablet screen, changing UI element to fit the bigger screen. Anyways, below is the link to the APK I ripped off my phone. Enjoy

Thanks! Trying the Market Helper (and ROM Toolbox) first...
Also if you have botbrew, can't you technically install Flash w/ Firefox and watch? Never tried it since it seems overkill, but would it work in theory?
