I have a lot of trouble with my Kindle Fire.

I live in Vietnam ( not in US ), I got my new Kindle Fire from my friend in US 2 days ago.
I active it with my gmail. First, when my Kindle Fire in 6.2.1, I can enter Newsstand, select magazine and lick on ''Subscribe now'' and download magazine ( Free 90 or 14 days trial ).
After, when my Kindle in 6.2.2, I enter Newsstand, select magazine and lick on ''Subscribe now''. Kindle Fire noticed that '' we're sorry : Your order cannot be completed right now. An internet connection is required to complete this task. Please check your internet connection and try again''.
Althought I can connect some website in my Kidle Fire such as google.com, gmail.com.
Furthermore, I cannot open my Kindle Fire by 1 click on power button. Power button light but screen do not light. I cannot unclock.
I have to click and keep power button in 20s, Kindle Fire start.
Who can help me solve the problem ?
I appreciate your help.
Thank you very much.

I Can't download books which are in Tamil/Hindi language [Fire HD 8 8th generation]

I recently bought a new Amazon Fire HD 8 (8th generation). I mostly read books, I can download books in English but I can't open books which are in Tamil/Hindi language which I have already have in my account. But I can open it in my Smartphone(redmi note 4). Do you have any solution how can I read books which are in my language on Fire HD 8? Whenever I try opening it, It says that "The Item is not compatible with the device", Also there is no option in the Amazon bookstore to buy books of my language it says "This Title is currently not available for purchase" instead of "buy now" option.
I think maybe the device does not have my language. Also, I am open to root my device but I can't find any link to how to root Fire HD 8 (8th generation).

No ads on lockscreen?

Just recieved my HD 10 2019, ad supported. I knew that there was supposed to be ads on lockscreen, but I haven't seen anything yet. Does they appear later on or I recieved one without ads to begin with?

Whey you unbox your Fire HD 10 2019. Do not register your Fire tablet with Amazon account. If your Fire tablet have registered with Amazon account, it appears the Amazon ads on lock screen like an adware. You need to reset your Fire tablet. You want to install Google API services.
Ways to bypass Amazon account registration:
1. Unbox your Fire tablet
2. Charge it at 8 hours before use it (Recommended)
3. Boot your Fire tablet
4. Select your language and font size and next
5. Select the nearby Wi-Fi networks with password and hit CANCEL button
6. Hit NOT NOW button and confirm.

Fire HD 10 9th gen (2019) Play Store and debloat Amazon

I just bought this tablet on a whim, just to try it out. I figured I could install Google Play Store and turn off most of the Amazon bloat. But when I searched here, I didn't find much for this generation tablet. But I was able to find the instruction elsewhere and thought I'd post them here.
#1 The first thing to do is turn on the Developer mode. On regular Android tablets, you do this by tapping the build number 7 times, but on this tablet, you instead do the tapping on the serial number in /Settings/Device Options/About Fire Tablet. Then go to there and turn them on and turn on USB debugging.
#2 Go to /Settings/Security & Privacy/Apps from Unkown Sources and enable the Silk browser. Open the Silk browser and enter https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/07/11/install-play-store-amazon-fire-tablet/ in the address bar. Follow the instructions to install the Google Account Manager, Google Services Framework, Google Play Services and Google Play Store. When done, you should now have a Play Store icon on your home page. (Along with a lot of unwanted icons.)
#3 If you try to disable any of the Amazon apps, you'll find most of them can't be disabled. To get around this, you need to install the Amazon Fire Toolbox V8.1 on a PC. You can find it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/development/official-amazon-fire-toolbox-v1-0-t3889604 Once its installed, use your USB cable to connect your Fire HD to the PC and launch the Toolbox. (This is why USB debuuging needed to be enabled.) Click on Manage Everything Amazon and disable as many Amazon apps as you desire.
note: None of this is my doing. I'm just showing the links to other people's work. Be sure to thank them for it.
Thanks for the write up, this got me started. However I think you can skip step #2 because the Fire Toolbox can setup all the Google services for you instead.

Is rooting best option or is there another better option to lock down a Fire Tablet with Google Play installed

Hello everyone! I'm sure this has been discussed in part in other threads, but I want to see what the best way to do this is (if it's possible), and how to do it.
I have a stock Amazon HD 8 (10th generation) tablet running 7.3.26 (November 1th 2022). I can get the Amazon Fire Toolbox to run fine on it, and it enables me to download and run an app from the Google App store that isn't available on the Fire store. My issue is I'm going to be giving hand this tablet (and a couple others like it) off to other people where I want them to be able to only open this app, and not access anything else on the tablet. Is there a way to set up a "child" profile or something like that on this tablet so only the one app could be accessed? Does it involve rooting? If someone can point me in the right direction (and hopefully link instructions) as well, I would greatly appreciate it.
