Why would Amazon not let you download to this when they sell it? I am looking for a cheap tablet to travel with that I can put some of my kindle books

I'm not sure about the question but you can download amanzon to the device. My device came preloaded with the amazon app store and the kindle app and it work great. No connection problems and netflix ran smooth. I bought this for my 4 yo and it was just fine for him the internet lags a little when surfing but nothing overboard. Overall he could not tell that it's not his brother's kindle. I won't pretend that it's the same picture quality as the kindle, but then again I think that it's reflected in the price.

Somehow, I got to be an expert on the Slick e-reader. I remember little about it, other than I returned it after a few days. And, that was a while ago. I don't believe that it is a tablet, which would allow you to get the Kindle app. Since it is an epub reader, one will have to convert the Kindle .mobi format, but is it possible? Do a Search on your computer.

This tablet has an andriod operating system installed on it so whatever apps that are in the play store can be used on this netbook. Many inexpensive tablets do not have the google play store installed on it so putting apps on the tablet would be a task. Basically anything you get on your andriod device can be used on this tablet. 3D games handle pretty good on this tablet for the price and you can download the kindle app for books or use the play store. Parental locks I'm not 100 percent about but I'm sure there is an app for that too.

And I love the amazon android market. Go free app of the day! The cloud app and kindle app work fine.

I am pretty sure you can but I would ask the kindle people or the company who supplys the books. The tablet comes with an app for receiving books and such but I am not sure because we dont subscribe to any of that.

Yup. Go to Google Play Store on your Android tablet to download and install the free Kindle app. Log into your Amazon account using the app and you can read any book in your Amazon bookshelf. Unfortunately, at this writing there are no available apps to watch Amazon streaming videos on generic Android devices, perhaps because Amazon wants to reserve that function as a perk for owners of branded Kindle devices. But if your specific aim is to access your Kindle books, the Kindle app is free, runs fine under Android and requires no hoop jumping or special setup beyond your Amazon log in info. Try it. :-) Yup.

I really have not tried but I would think it would do fine at downloading Kindle.

Sure can. Tablet uses the common Android OS, and App Store has free Kindle app you can download.

I did not buy Kindle fire HD because the reviews were clear Amazon had bloated it with adware. I bought a xoom because they are so clean of apps when you buy them. I too found my Amazon prime videos will not play on it. Now we all know they could make an app for it but nope. They really really want to sell you the 24 hr "hard sell" pop-up machine that is the Kindle android. If anybody finds a way to watch prime videos on Xoom, I'd be really pleased.

Certain phones and tablets are labeled OTG (on the go) and can be used with external keyboards, thumb drives, etc. using that cable. A few devices aren't compatible as may be the case with your kindle. There may be a way to enable the OTG capability with a custom rom (aka jailbreaking) but this may end up voiding your warranty or "bricking" your device. There may be apps available in the Google play store to enable OTG or to trouble-shoot your tablet/phone but these don't work on all devices. YMMV

When I last used this device, I installed Amazon AppStore (might have been version 2.xx something). Subsequent versions did not work well on this tablet. As time progressed, many of the newer apps would not even run on this device. Your best bet these days might be downloading APKs and installing them manually. Awhile ago, I could find some apps (with older versions) at the websitewww dot freewarelovers dot com forward-slash android

Yes, you will be able to download the Kindle/Amazon app from the google play store if its not already available on the android home screen and be able to download books from amazon to the app.

Updating Post. I have an Ipad with the Kindle IPAD app on it. I'm very surprised Apple would allow such an app seeing how the books in their store are way overpriced.

Don't know.For the sake of a couple of bucks why ,why don't you find out yourself,"cheapy'......I don't own a kindle, hence the the proper response, is one of a true manner.Rather than give an answer, that you want to hear.

Thanks for the reply. I had read somewhere that not all android based apps would be available. I know there will be a Borders app. I am still trying to decide between a Kindle 3 and this tablet.

I am using the stock software that came with it. The Kindle app was preloaded, but for some reason I cannot log in. When I try, it says 'Please check wifi connection' even though I can browse the internet just fine. It's frustrating b/c I can't log in to read any of my books.

Kindle uses an Android system but my experience is that it will only accept apps loaded through the Kindle Store. Easy enough go to the kindle store and search for it and try and download the app before you buy.
