Kindle for Android I know the Le Pan 970 supports B&N Nook, but has anyone loaded and used Kindle for Android on the 970?

I have 1 magazine subscription thru Kindle on Le Pan 970, and is nicely formatted. I also have a newspaper subscription. It's not in an e-edition format. Instead Kindle newspaper editions are formatted like a book would be. Usually missing from any Kindle newspaper would be comics, ads, sports score boxes, and some of the graphics. This format makes it to easier to read on the smaller screen.

Yes, works fine. So do other readers. Cool reader is a nice one and there is fbreader, ireader, aldiko and others.

In case you wanted to see it in action, I added a video to my review for the 970 showing the Kindle app in use on a 970 with some neat features. It happens at ~4:30 in the video. You can find my review at the bottom of the first page of most helpful reviews. I demonstrate several different functions of the tablet in the video. I really like the control features in the Kindle app, the white text on black background and dimmer is awesome for late night reading.

Yes, you can. You, however, will need to purchase an N2A card to technically turn your Nook Color into an Android tablet, and from then on, you will be able to install the Kindle app, as well as, using Google Play store. The N2A cards are available to purchase for about $25, its an Micro SD card you insert into the Nook's slot, and your Nook boots right from it when you power on. I DON'T work for N2A's developer, I am just a user who happens to have an N2A card purchased and have been very happy with it. The card basically turn your Nook Color into a full blown Android tablet, and if you desire, you can boot right back to the B&N's original interface, you loose nothing, but gain a whole new level of experience.

I bought them to go with the Nabi I purchased for the kids and I've also tried it on my Nook HD. But I don't have a Kindle to try it on, sorry.

Yes. This tablet runs on latest Android 4.2.2 and you can download Kindle App from Pre-installed Play Store App

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.

You can install the kindle app from the play store. This is a mostly stock version of android. And got the KitKat update a few weeks ago.

I'm still in the process of deciding and found out some helpful info. I'm planning on using our library for ebooks and our state has at least twice as many available books for the Nook compared to the Kindle. Just thought I'd mention if anyone else is in the same boat.

In the nook book store, you can use credit cards, B&N; gift cards, or NOOK gift cards. Amazon cards cannot be used in the B&N; store. Theoretically, one could root and install the Amazon Kindle app, and redeem the card for use in that app, to read books in that app, but such a process would void any warranties, and I would not recommend doing so to most users. Sorry, hope that helps!

Hi! I have one of these, and while I love it (huge screen, great battery life, totally customizable file organization, best markup/annotation capabilities of any E-Ink reader), it can't read Amazon format ebooks (.azw format) and can't be used to access the Amazon ebook store app that comes on Kindles. It does (technically) have wifi capabilities that could be used to get to the amazon mobile site, but the wifi is unreliable at best and sometimes causes the device to crash.

you don't. Nook doesn't support kindle books, just as Kindle doesn't support BN books.

i'm thinking of getting this. can u run facebook and words with friends on it? i really want it more to read my books... i have a b&w; nook now... but i wanted something with a touch screen and color. any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

No I am sorry. The two can not be run on the same device...because most nooks run a adobe system with PDF. While the kindle us not running adobe, the books are similar format but I could never find a way for all my books to be on a single device because of the operating systems. Hope I could helP.

Dear Michelle,I think that in overall, Kindle provides better services in Europe (3G, buying online etc). Although the Nook has also these features, you are not allowed to use the online shopping services if you are not a US residence. Unfortunatelly Amazon's store does not have books in my mother language (Catalan), so I'm "forced" to purchase the best e-reader using ePub format. Of course, when I got my Nook I'll give you some feedback. Nice to discuss with you.Xavi

PLEASE... if Amazon is going to sell this product, PLEASE add Kindle to it. Kindle may not receive updates (no market) but at least it'll be there. That's really my only showstopper. I've been buying all my latest books so I can use them between my Android and iPad.

No, the Nook only supports EPUB and PDF files. Kindle books are made for Kindle, which I believe has its own unique file format created by Amazon. The Kindle also supports PDFs, though.

I don't think so. Honestly, I'd probably go with the kindle fire. Only reason I went with the nook was because the fire wasn't out yet and I wanted something with color for my kids books. Hardly any of my friends have a nook so I end up having to buy all the books rather than borrow them :-(

The Nexus 7 is great for reading. I don't remember if it came with Amazon Kindle app on it or if I downloaded free from Google Playstore. I have it on mine, and about 20 books from Amazon Kindle site. If you already have a Kindle account the Nexus 7 will syncronize your books and download from Amazon once you sign in to your Amazon account.
