Will this have a Kindle app? Hello, does anyone know if a Kindle app will be available for this android based system? Thank you.

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.

Yes, I have installed the KINDLE app as well as the NOOK app. The BORDERS app comes with it it and all three work GREAT! I have bought and am reading books from all 3 sources. You can get the Kindle app at freewarelovers.com, and I found the NOOK app by searching for bn.ereader.apk (I think it came up as bn.ereader-2.apk). I really like not being tethered to only one source for purchasing eBooks.

There is a kindle for Android app (which I have installed on my phone). The question is whether you'll be able to install it on this device. My understanding is that the device does not have access to the full Android Market but uses their own Cruz Market which is most likely a subset of the Android Market. I would think that if Amazon is selling it, the Kindle app will be available for it. If it is not, then I will certainly try installing the .apk file I have for my phone on this device!

Yes you can get the Kindle app for the Cruz Reader (just downloaded it - you can go through their Cruz Market to get to the freewarelovers.com/android/category/reference market or just go there directly in your browser and the Kindle app is there) I'm guessing they have some kind of an agreement with Borders to not advertise how exactly to get the other eReader apps since it comes with the Borders app as the base eReader

If you have a wifi connection and login to your Cruz, there should be an option to sync all your books that you've purchased.

You should try to register your device through the device. Open kindle app on your device and go through the options to register or signin. You will put in your amazon userid and password. When you finish this process you will have registered your device.. To validate go to amazon website and manage my kindle option to verify that your device is registered. Just by putting in your serial number amazon has no way of locating your dvice.. So you should register through your device. Once your device is registered then you can buy kindle books from either the device or from the web site.

Sony has developed their own e-reader app. You can try downloading it for compatibility with Kindle: https://ebookstore.sony.com/download/

To 5 yorkies and H. Bowman: This should work just fine for the both of you. I've had this a few days, but today was the first time I've really had time to play with it. Its taken all day to get to get an eReader that will work good. This unit comes with Aldiko as the eReader app, but I couldn't figure out how to buy/download books (it comes with downloads to tons of free books, but thats not what I was looking for). Someone else on this site gave a web address to download Kindle for Android and now I have it downloaded (even started reading the book I was looking for). I was able to setup my email right away, although it didn't work very well through the setup wizard (I have yahoo mail). Since I already have an android phone, I checked the settings on my phone and just did a manual setup using the same settings. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will do what I can do help. Good luck to you...I'm loving my new tablet so far.

I honestly don't know. The sellers of this item can probably answer that. It's an android tablet, so if Kindle app is available for android market it should be. This tablet is a gift and I haven't used it.

I love reading Kindle books. You'll need to download Kindle for Android. Call Amazon and see if you can still download the app. They recently changedthe app store and lots of us Android users were shut out for the time being. If you can't get it directly. try sideloading. But I just downloaded some books directly from the Kindle Store. Good luck.

There is a free kindle app foe the iPad but I have not used it. I have had a kindle for a lot longer than the iPad. I can share what a friend told me, though. She finds the iPad screen too bright to read comfortably, and learned the hard way not to read at bedtime. She says it makes her eyes hurt. I am happy with my old kindle, so can't offer you experience firsthand.

Hello. No, the Kindle and Nook App are not pre-loaded onto this Tablet. If they are available through GooglePlay then you should be able to download them. Thank you

I made this purchase for a graduation gift. Because it is an Android Operating System and has the "Play" feature, you should be able to download the Kindle app from the Android "Play Page" for free...

I tend to disagree...Amazon went out of their way to make a special version of android so that only the apps they make money from or approve make them onto the kindle. I'm sure Logitech will help but it is not their fault.

Answer is yes. Go to AndroidForNook.com. For less than $20 you can convert a Nook tablet, HD, HD+ to an Android tablet. Then you can install any app you want including Kindle just as you would on a regular Android tablet. Works flawlessly.It's done using a microSD card so it can be changed back to the proprietary Nook operating system anytime, easily.

Hey guys, I know this thread concerns the screen, but I have a quick question. Has anyone tried loading the Kindle software on this thing & read a book? Are the books in color? The only reason I'm asking is because that's the only reason I would buy this.

Thanks Carol D. That's exactly what I wanted to know. I've seen demo's on the Stanza and Kindle apps. Now I just need to head to an Apple store and see if I can read on the thing. Thanks!

Yes it's full size but I can't tell you about how it will work with a kindle. I only use it with a PS3 (play station) I would be surprised if you were allowed to root a kindle. It's tricky enough rooting an android device, a kindle what does that run on?
