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 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

A guide on Protecting Your Eyes while watching cartoons to get to sleep
My bedtime bredren, we Futurama sleepers must be careful to protect our eyes when we watch in the dark, and so I have written out a guide on how to do so. Some technical know-how is required, but you can bumble your way through it, and the payoff is worth it.
To avoid wrecking your eyes, ideally y

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

Kids Fire HD 8 (12th Gen) closes apps opened from RocketApps
This just started a few days ago on one of my Kids Fire tablets. Basically any app I open in RocketApps including the standard "Settings" app closes after 30-45 seconds. I've tried uninstalling apps, rebooting, even resetting the tablet to factory settings and reinstalling everything. I haven't e

Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus or Newer Model?
I saw that Amazon has this for $54.99 right now which isn’t too shabby at all. I mainly would use it for ebooks and comic books reading and some streaming. Would the HD 8 Plus suffice or should look into a newer model?

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

iPad for tabletop navigator?
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
