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

Looking for ads, strangely enough

Okay guys, I play on a Fire HD 8. All the options for watching an ad fail. It just for a fraction of a second puts up a message the it is looking for an ad, then it just reverts to the same screen I had up before requesting the ad. I really want to see the ads for the rewards. Anyone know if it

Thanks for any experiences regarding the update. The cu

2024 Kindle HD 8 (4gb) or 2023 Amazon Fire Max 11 (4gb)

Yeah, the newer kindle fire tablets seem to be ahead of the old ones. The Max 11 looks to be just a better device all around. I have a Fire HD 8 from a few years ago and it’s honestly super slow compared to what’s out now from the reviews I have seen. Also, some apps just won’t work on the older Fir

Plex Sync is depressingly shite

I just spent the last few days desperately trying to get Plex to sync all my boys Fireman Sam episodes to his Fire HD 8 tablet. He has many hours on an aeroplane to look forward to.. now likely to be just a little worse.

I know the sync problems aren't new, I've tried all the workarounds I found in
