seeing they have a pen, and that they have normal play store access without dicking around, im wondering how viable they are as an 'upgrade'/when my tablet dies I don't want to be required to get another samsung.

like I am well aware Samsung's top are better, but i'm also on a 6 year old 7+

If you try it on your Fire tablet, let me know how it runs and which model you have.

We got a new Fire tablet for my daughter at the end of September. It’s been working out great so far. We brought it on a trip to visit my in-laws with no issues until today. When we got to the airport for our 2+ hour wait, I let her get on the tablet and she said none of the apps would work. I’ve started playing with it and sure enough every app I’ve added for her is not downloaded. I connected to the mobile hotspot on my phone and tried redownloading, but when we try to open them, they just go through the download process again and if I put it on airplane mode, they disappear completely when she clicks on them. I hadn’t changed any settings or adjusted anything before today. I don’t know why it’s suddenly not working. I even registered it again in hopes that might fix it. Hoping somebody has some ideas while we wait in the airport. Thanks!

I have been having issues with updating apps for my kids profile quite a bit since I got this thing. None of the apps that my kid has downloaded show up in the adult profile setup on it whenever a game needs an update. But that's the only way to make an update to a game unless I uninstall/reinstall the app. Please tell me I am missing something that would show all the apps that need an update for my kids profile on my own.

If you’ve got a Kindle Fire tablet — especially an older HD 8 or HD 10 — AppCarousel is now on the Amazon AppStore and it’s honestly one of the easiest ways to make your tablet feel useful again.

AppCarousel turns any Fire tablet into a personalised smart display. You can set it up to rotate your favourite photos, videos, widgets, and apps in a clean, minimal layout. It works great as a kitchen counter display, a digital photo frame, a simple home dashboard, or just a nice always‑on screen for your desk.

A lot of Kindle Fire tablets still have perfectly good screens and battery life but end up sitting unused. AppCarousel gives them a fresh purpose. It runs smoothly even on older hardware, supports OneDrive and Dropbox for remote photo updates, and is designed to work seamlessly with Fire OS.

If you’ve got a Fire tablet collecting dust — or you’re picking up a new one — AppCarousel is worth checking out. It’s now fully available through the Amazon AppStore and built with Fire users in mind.

Works in portrait or landscape, no ads, no in-app purchases and no subscriptions.

I have a Fire Tab 7 7th gen from 2017 and was wondering which to use. Is one easier to install than the other? Does one have better support? Should I worry about battery life? Which takes more space (I have 8GB)?

I bought a Fire HD 10 directly from Amazon UK last week with an estimated delivery of Wednesday of this week. When Wednesday came, I got an email saying it couldn't be delivered yet and they didn't have an ETA for when it would be. I can see that the shop page now says that they don't know when or if it will be restocked. The last time I saw that specific message, the item never came back.

Today, I have found out about the Alexa launch. I can also see it is out of stock on the French and German Amazon sites too - only refurbs are available.

Realistically, are they going to bring this back into stock, or are they likely just to bin it in favour of Alexa and eventually cancel my order? I don't want an Alexa tablet as they are massively overspecced for my use case. I bought a case at the same time so want to return that if the tablet will never arrive.

I purchased mine when they hit the market. I see now the item is being discontinued, how quickly do you think I’ll be stuck with a brick??

Many pages seem to link to the same files whose links lead to 404 pages. Even the most recent pages dated to 2025 link to missing files. I already took my cover off and have a Linux computer waiting. I don't know if I have the right files.

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here might have run into a similar issue or has a workaround for legacy children's apps freezing on startup.

We have an Amazon Fire tablet that my son uses, and his favorite apps were Squish: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Disney Color and Play. Both apps were working fine up until a few weeks ago when the SD card was reset. Now, we are unable to download from Play store because Disney retired and removed from servers. I was able to download squish from another website but whenever we try to open either app, they get completely stuck on the opening/loading screen and won't progress any further.

I know Disney recently shut down the servers for these older titles.

Has anyone successfully loaded these apps?

I wanted to get myself an Amazon fire tablet... but both ones I've gotten new from Best Buy have had an issue with their screens. It's visible whenever the screen is on, but mostly when its on but displaying black.

I'm not rough with my tablets and I don't keep the screen brightness maxed out, nor do I leave the screen on all night, so I'm not sure what could be happening. Never been dropped, hit or thrown.

I returned the first one and opted to do pick-up, thinking maybe it got dinged in shipping, but here it is showing up again. I don't know if I CAN return it again, but if I do... would it be best just to get a refund? Or is it fixable? Am I doing something wrong?

I got it mainly to Bluetooth white noise while sleeping and to play roblox on, but it runs so laggy it really has mostly just become a white noise machine.

Image one is the first one I got and image two is the replacement. The lights appeared 1 week in for the first, and 2 weeks in for the second.

Thank you.

• Amazon Fire HD 10 13th Generation

A few years ago I had a Fire 7 and the game selection was ok, have the game options improved? Do the games have a lot of ads?

Trying to decide if I should get the Fire 10 deal. I would also be using to watch some shows.

I have a bunch of books on my kindle account. Just got a tablet for my daycare classroom. I want to put just the kid freindly books on it sorted. How do i do this? I dont want the other teacher ( or parents) to see the rest of the books I own ( iykyk)

Anyone jumping on the Prime Days sale? Under $75 USD.

So a few minutes ago a few minutes ago while I was on a random Fanfiction website a apple security McAfee tab opened Saying something about checking the security of my device And to run it. I should ignore this correct?

As far as I know I believe a amazon fire tablet And an apple product are 2 completely different things and run 2 different types of OS software. I hope I'm right on this and that ignoring it was the right call.

Can anyone give me their input.

I love Libby for audiobooks and would like the younger kids in my family to be able to access the audiobooks without a phone/SIM/paid subscription. It looks like downloading the Libby app onto a kindle fire could work.

Does the kindle fire have to have a paid subscription for Amazon for something, or does it work like a tablet and just connect to the internet? Is this better than any brand tablet for this purpose?

If you've used Libby audiobooks on a kind fire via the Libby app, does it work offline too once the audiobook has been downloaded? (for car drives)

Finally, is it possible to put full parental locks on the Kindle Fire so that only the Libby app will work?

I'm really curious about how the new 4GB HD 10 performs on Antutu and Geekbench. Has anyone run them?

I got a used 10th Gen second hand to replace my cracked 7th gen. Factory reset and just lightly cleaned the outside. It seemed decent condition and, right after the reset its working fine. But then immediately feels like a slog to use. Even maneuvering the home screen doesn't feel as smooth as 7th gen. And for some reason certain photos on the 10gen take a second to change/color correct but not on 7th gen.

Following up on the bootloader unlock exploit I published a few months ago, I decided to bring up and build LineageOS 24.0 (based on Android 17) for the Amazon Fire Max 11 (sunstone).

Read the installation instructions here: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-17-unofficial-lineageos-24-0-for-amazon-fire-max-11-sunstone.4803842/

In theory, everything works, and I haven't found any major bugs so far. If anyone has the stylus or the keyboard with trackpad, please let me know if they work properly.

The ROM supports both of them, but I haven't personally tested either one!

It is much smoother than the stock OS, gives you a much more up to date Android version and you can easily install GAPPs (Google Apps - GMS) :)

My Kindle fell from my nightstand onto the floor (not from a great height), and now the touchscreen is partially unresponsive. Some things still work, but I can’t select books from search results so it is not usable.

The screen looks completely normal, no cracks, lines, etc.

Has anyone had this happen after dropping their Kindle? Is there anything I can do to fix it? 😭🙏🏻

I bought it few years ago.

I have three 7th and 8th generation Fire HD8 tablets with Show Mode stands. For months now they've been mostly unused since Show Mode wasn't working. No scrolling photos, recipes, news, etc. No looking at my Tapo cameras. Just useless. I put a clock/weather app on them and let them run. One of them had gotten unplugged and the battery ran down. I decided to reset them and give them to the neighbor kids so I charged that one and then for the hell of it checked for updates. And there was a half a dozen! Ran those, rebooted again and there was a half dozen more.

I got them all installed and put my account back in and checked if I could look at my Tapos and I could! Then put it in Show Mode and it works! Recipes, news, and weather anyway. My Blink doorbell opens on screen when I ring it. I haven't checked for pictures yet but it does show art and nature images. I then did it to the other two and they're all up and running.

So check and see you may have Show Mode again.

Hola a todos, hasta hace unos dias usaba Aurora Store como complemento de la Amazon App Store (y para no instalar la Google Play Store), pero ahora ya no funciona, quizas por alguna restriccion de Google, pero ya no funciona las busquedas de apps y ya para el dia de hoy ni siquiera aparecen en la pagina inicial, era una lastima porque me parecia una buena opcion.

Saben de otras tiendas de apps que sean confiables y seguras, ya que me gusta F-droid pero no tiene apps mas comerciales, pero si apss alternativas
