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.

Plex Sync is depressingly shite

I just spent the last few days desperately trying to get Plex to sync all my boys Fireman Sam episodes to his Fire HD 8 tablet. He has many hours on an aeroplane to look forward to.. now likely to be just a little worse.

I understand that the filesystem is sep

OS's Suggestions for Fire Tablet

This is exclusive to the 8th Generation HD 8, it won’t work on any other model. Fire tablets are extremely locked down and require exploits to unlock the bootloader.
