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

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

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

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

Just bought the new Fire HD 8. This is my 2nd Fire. I bought it for a couple reasons. I couldn't pass up the price, between the sale, my employee discount and my card discount it was more than half off. Also my other Fire is 7 years old.

Cheapest way - Amazon Fire tablet (8" is a reasonable price), enable the real Google Play store vs the stupid Amazon Fire store...which you can easily do, then put the C4 app on it, and the "Fully Single App Kiosk" app. It'll be locked in as a C4 only android device. The Fire 8 tablet is $99 and usu

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.
