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 is the best addition you made to your WFH situation that wasn't for actual work?
I bought a Fire HD 8-inch tablet and a DAC. I side-loaded UAPP (USB Audio Player Pro) onto the tablet and connected the output to my receiver. Now I have all of the music, especially the 24/96 FLAC files on my Synology NAS available (via DLNA) on a decent sized screen for me to play, it is completel

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

Cheap alternative to iPad mini6-7
As the title states, I have a cheap alternative for the iPad mini to work with a Backbone… It’s an Amazon fire HD 8… it runs well… You just have to do some minor tweaking to the software of the fire by installing the Google play store, it took me about 10 minutes to get it running on Nvidia GeForce

I was just gifted a Kindle Fire HD 8 can I use it as an E reader?
Technically, this is not a Kindle, but Amazon Fire HD (tablet). Having said that, you can still absolutely use this as a Kindle! (I used to use mine like that) As the other comment suggests, the best alternative to the Kindle app (if you don't want to use an Amazon account) would be Redeara. You can

Developing the ideal eye-friendly phone - need input please!
The matte solution needs to be not to perfect. Sounds weird but many manufacturers try to get impressive numbers on paper "99.9 percent glare free", but the result is a grainy, uneven screen making reading uncomfortable (for example the TCL nxtpaper devices).

Shadow running on a Kindle Fire HD 8, I was curious if it would run but it works great. Resubmit due to no flair.
