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.

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.
I cant get my books in the nook for aneroid to show the covers. All I get is the blue cover with the n on it. Can anyone tell me how to get the book covers to show?

If you're rooted you can download nook book cover helper from the market. Works like a charm.
Thanks. Guess I will have to root.

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 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.

Alright so I got my kindle fire yesterday and my immediate plan was to root it and flash the jandycane Rom everyone was talking about, so I read some threads about rooting this thing. But I then read flashing a any Rom would basicially defeat the purpose of a the kindle part and basically turn it in to an android tablet. And yes ive looked and searched, I'm not a noob so don't flame me. I just want to know what rom I could flash and keep the kindle properties and amazon properties.
Thank you, kole

Check out the MoDaCo ROM. It is the stock ROM, but has the Play Store preinstalled, so also gives you the functionality and choice of a normal tablet with as well as access to Amazon's services.

Thanks, I have the kindle app on my phone so I saw my books are backed up and can connect to the kindle store as well. So could I install jandycane and use the kindle app to still use kindle gift cards to buy books? Sorry for the questions, ive only had this thing for less than 24 hrs
EDIT: I guess if it would work to keep my books stored then I could just use my Pc to add the kindle gift cards

Reading on the kindle app isn't as good as reading on the stock app. I prefer to have both Jellybean and GR9 Modaco.

You mean you dual-boot? I've heard bad things about it, so I'm just using the kindle app, however I do have the Jandycane ROM and use other apps like the Kobo app, the Aldiko app, and the Google Books app so I have access to many sources of books.

Bad things? The only downside I've had is you have to split storage for two ROMS. But I still have plenty of room left.

I meant there's a certain amount of risk that the whole thing might be messed up during partitioning.
But both ROMs are installed on the system partition right? Rather than the sdcard partition?

That's true for everything you do to modify the Kindle. It's not too hard to do.
