Perhaps you should search the Themes & Apps Section. You'd be surprised by what you find.
Morning everyone!
My now fiancé bought me a 7" tab2 for our anniversary and so far love it. Only thing I couldn't find info on was reviews on reading books/magazine on this tablet. Do you guys have any opinions on the reading magazines through kindle or google play?
Thanks in advance
Happy anniversary! I really like the Kindle app. I use it on all my devices for books and magazines. Easy to use and it is nice having everything sync and auto delivered.

I use Zinio to read magazines, sometimes you found good deals in subscriptions
Thank you for the respones guys!
I have Flipboard and Currents already on the tab since I loved them so much on my GNex. I also read my comics through comixology which is pretty good I'm just having difficulty setting up a year subscription for (The Walking Dead on there). I'll keep an eye on on the kindle app but I already see some mags. I want to subscribe to are either Fire or iOS only.

That are not apps for magazines, are news app, Zinio is an app to read digital version of printed magazines like national geographic, pc world, etc
Is not the same type of app

Hi peeps
quick question.... if I remove silk entirely (cause I hate it and don't really want 2 launchers installed) will more apps in the Google store be more compatible? or is that just the way the kindle is made?

3 Things:
Wrong thread
Silk isn't a launcher
Yes, there are plenty of launchers and browsers available

Hmmm.... obviously silk isn't what I meant then.... I wand to remove the original kindle software to stock vanilla android.... there are a few apps which at the moment if I search the google play store and they're either not there or don't work and then have to use the amazon Appstore to get a working version... would removing all the amazon launcher stuff make those apps work/available? Or would it not make any difference?
To clarify: Silk is the web browser.
And back to the issue at hand, if you want vanilla android, CyanogenMod is the closest you will ever get.

I don't think it has anything to do with the Amazon apps. I think I read somewhere that it has something to do with the build.prop (which isn't something to go messing with).
If you want to see those incompatible apps in the Play Store, use this app here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...ps-without-changing-the-build-prop-root-only/

I'm on a rooted Kindle HD 7in. Is there a way to get Apps from the google play store to show up in the Kindle Freetime app?

Would love to know how to do this as well. I have many app bought from google play that I want to let me kids use in FreeTime.
I'd like to do the same with sideloaded books as well.

I decided not to use Free Time and instead see what Google Play had to offer. I now have Kids Place with Screen Time: Parental Controls installed. With those two apps, I can give access to any apps I want my son to use all within the custom launcher. With the second, I can control how long he can use certain apps and set time limits for school days and weekends and even bed time settings. What's nice about screen time is that they offer a "remote control" where I can see what and how long He's been in an app right from my phone. I can also pause his time remotely if he's grounded or supposed to be doing something else. It's a pretty sweet and customizable setup.

This setup is way better than what Free Time has to offer.

Has anyone received the update yet for the new Prime Music? I've been waiting to try it out but it is not getting pushed to either of my Kindle fire HD.
If anyone has it could they pull the apk?

In the exact same position as you. Thought I'd be clever and just pull it from Amazon's update, but they didn't include the updated APK for whatever reason.
I have 2 kindles that are on wifi all day long and neither one has received it.

It's basically the same as Play Store. You don't want that one?

Problem is solved! I downloaded the firmware from the amazon page, added the extension ".zip", opened it and took the amazonmp3_unsigned.apk from system/app folder and copied it to my kindle fire HD and replaced the apk on it.
Now all works like expected
Thank you but that doesn't help those of us who are trying to get the Prime streaming app which is different from the Mp3 app.

Did you even go to the link I posted? No you didn't or you would not still be looking. MP3 has been completely replaced by Prime Music. Amazon MP3 as a stand alone app has ceased to exist. It may say MP3 in the link but the apk is Amazon Prime streaming app.
Edit: The apk from 1mobile and the Play Store are both 4.0.3. Both are as current as it gets.

Did you even try the advice you gave? No you didn't or you would know the play store version force closes after the first time. The Amazon version is different from the play store version. We need the Amazon version to get it to work on a stock Kindle.

Yes I have. The Amazon apk is not Kindle exclusive. It's the same as the Play Store only the Play Store apk is one update up on Amazon app store. The app has had some issues for some with most recent update for some.

You also could have just hit the uninstall updates option on the app page in the Play Store.

Omg, the APK for the Kindle Fire IS different from the generic Android APK. The have the same identifier name but they are different. Different file sizes, different UI. Different.The Amazon Kindle reader app used to have the same problem, if you are running the Kindle's own OS (or Kinology) and you updated the app through the play store it would break functionality, because they're different APKs. This is well documented.
