Does this drive work with a Kindle Fire HD, 2nd generation? Do you download from computer to device with usb cord, and then use wifi for Kindle use?

First id see if you can download the wi-drive app. And open it up before going and investing in it. If it opens up and it is trying to search for the wi-drive the app should be working just fine. Also u need to download the files via the USB cord that comes with it from you're computer to the drive. Then you can see pictures or documents on your kindle. And from what I've noticed since I own it there's a separate name for it under the wifi setting so you have to switch from the wifi for you internet to the one for the drive in order to see what's on the drive. The plus is that It can be password protected so not just anyway can see what's on it. First id see if you can download the wi-drive app. And open it up before going and investing in it.

That is how I remember it. I do recall connecting it to the HD Fire+ and off loading some photos. TYhen I connected it to my laptop bia the USB cable snd copied the same photos to my backup photo storage drive. I assume it would work in reverse the same way.

A Kindle Fire has a Micro USB port, not a USB port. No it won't work. If you're trying to connect it to wifi this might help though http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200729310

I cannot confirm this since I don't own a Kindle HD. But I would assume it would work since the plug will fit any audio/headphone jack. Sorry I couldn't be of any further help than this.

Yes, it will work with the Kindle Fire HD since this model Kindle has Bluetooth capabilities. Good luck, it's a great little product.

I would think any universal usb cord would work. I'm not too familiar with Kindles, so I'm just guessing.

The one I bought did not even work with my Kindle (as claimed). Even if the ad expressly named the Fire, I hope my experience gives you pause. Good luck.

It should work. It creates a wifi network so all you have to do is connect to that network with the kindle.

Only if Kindle has an App for it. It creates a wifi hotspot and, on an iOS device like my iPad, there is a free App that will connect to that hotspot and allow me to access the data on it and stream movies or music from its storage. If the Kindle HD has something similar (and I don't know since I don't have one) then it will work but otherwise the answer would be no.

Yes. I bought this to work with my mother's Kindle Fire HD and her cell phone. Previous commenter is right that the cord is really short and I'll add turning it on and off is awkward. It has nice sound, tho. For the cost, not a bad option. Had it since christmas and no problems.

It works on anything that uses the micro usb connection, like those found on most Android smart phones. However, it may not be powerful enough for more power hungry devices. If the Kindle Fire uses the micro USB, I do not see why it wouldn't work.

It will work with a Fire HD, but not the regular Kindle Fire. It's not a very high-quality speaker. A little BoomBug for $15 sounds much better but you have to use a cord. The trade-off for the bluetooth capability is not worth the extra $40 and it just doesn't sound that good...

I don't have a Fire HD6 but I've been using a Kindle reader for years and it connects to the internet through my Linksys WRT 150N WiFi. I looked at the specs for the Fire HD6 and found that it lists WiFi capability.

Hi Judy, I purchased the 7" HD Display, Dolby Audio, Dual-Band Dual-Antenna Wi-Fi, 16GB Kindle FireHD, I am not sure which generation it is though, but the cord I purchased, the one I believe you are referring to, does in fact work for HDMI to my flat screen TV from my kindlehd. I love the kindle and all it does! I hope this helps you when deciding on the purchase.

I happen to have a Kindle Fire 8.9" HD tablet. It does have a USB-2 port, but it is a "mini" size port. This reader is for a full size USB port, so I'm thinking it won't work. I don't know of any readers off hand that have a "mini" size plug. That would be cool, if it did work because I'd plug it into my own Kindle.

The wi-drive generates a wifi hotspot you can hookup to your device through a wi-drive app and see its hard drive. There is a wi-drive app (Kindle Edition) that you can add to your device for this. Here is the URL for the manual http://media.kingston.com/support/downloads/WiDrive_KF_UserManual.pdf and it explains what's needed.

It works great with the Kindle Fire, books download in seconds and Net Flick works fantastic. We have 4 MB of internet, never had a problem anywhere in the house.
