Is Amazon methodically wrecking Google Apps?
Now Google Docs, Sheets, and Keep are all crashing when opened up. They haven't wrecked Chrome yet but I expect that may be coming. I already had to find 2 other Clients for Gmail and Calendar. They are making this tablet far less useful to me as time goes on. It is the current Fire HD 8 tablet.

What happened to all my books? had been reading on my kindle with Calibre for ~ 3 or 4 years, suddelny my entire collection is gone (except what was purchased through kindle)
Few things. Fire HD 8 is not a kindle. So your title is wrong. Secondly yes it is a black and white e ink screen. I was simply providing what I did to get out of the Amazon echo system. Lastly amazon devices have been having issues with side loaded ebooks. This is a known issue. Head over to mobile

Cheap alternative to iPad mini6-7
As the title states, I have a cheap alternative for the iPad mini to work with a Backbone… It’s an Amazon fire HD 8… it runs well… You just have to do some minor tweaking to the software of the fire by installing the Google play store, it took me about 10 minutes to get it running on Nvidia GeForce

Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus or Newer Model?
I saw that Amazon has this for $54.99 right now which isn’t too shabby at all. I mainly would use it for ebooks and comic books reading and some streaming. Would the HD 8 Plus suffice or should look into a newer model?

Shadow running on a Kindle Fire HD 8, I was curious if it would run but it works great. Resubmit due to no flair.

iPad for tabletop navigator?
Cheapest way - Amazon Fire tablet (8" is a reasonable price), enable the real Google Play store vs the stupid Amazon Fire store...which you can easily do, then put the C4 app on it, and the "Fully Single App Kiosk" app. It'll be locked in as a C4 only android device. The Fire 8 tablet is $99 and usu

The Best Tablets
Tablets aren’t just “big phones” anymore. I’ve found them to be surprisingly versatile, perfect for streaming Netflix in bed, catching up on emails at the cafe, or sketching out ideas when I don’t feel like pulling out a laptop. The right one can pretty much replace multiple gadgets if you pick care

Looking for ads, strangely enough
Okay guys, I play on a Fire HD 8. All the options for watching an ad fail. It just for a fraction of a second puts up a message the it is looking for an ad, then it just reverts to the same screen I had up before requesting the ad. I really want to see the ads for the rewards. Anyone know if it
