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

Upgrading from Fire HD 8 (version 10 from 2020) to the Newest Fire HD8

Thanks for any experiences regarding the update. The cu

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 know the sync problems aren't new, I've tried all the workarounds I found in

HD 8 10th Gen. suddenly has terrible battery life

Kindle Fire HD 8 10th Generation

I've been getting pretty good battery life with this device, around 10-12 hours on a full charge and then out of nowhere it's been down to around 5-6 hours.

I do have some sideloaded apps from F-Droid and Aurora Store. I don't think that's the problem, though.

I'v

ULPT Request: Return an expensive (?) unwanted gift

Throwaway acct bc… well, if my MIL saw this she’d have something to say

My MIL got my 15 month old a “fire HD 8 kids” for Christmas. It was kinda put on the closet shelf but my husband and I decided that a table is an inappropriate gift for our (now) 19 month old. Don’t get me wrong- I’m not anti
