kindle reader on android tablet?

I've actually done a fair amount of Sony reading on my phone in the same situation. It's easier to read than you might think. The small chunks make up for the backlit screen.

Kindle Fire is on sale really cheap! and in color. They will be mailing them out mid november (I'm getting one!)

I have the kindle DX which is great, but unnecessary. I bought it before I got my iphone. Had I known I was due for a smartphone upgrade, I wouldn't have bothered with the 3G kindle. Anyway, I find I read using the kindle app on my iphone a LOT. I actually use it it more than I do my kindle because I always have my phone with me and sometimes, I just don't want to carry the kindle. I shrunk the text so more fits on each screen, so even for a fast reader, it's not nearly the problem I thought it would be.

I don't know anything about those off-brand tablets, but typically, you do get what you pay for in electronics. As an employee of a company that makes parts for all the major brands of tablets, personally I'd rather see you buy one of those.

Well, I received my droid tablet today. Had to pay additional postage. The seller is devious in that its an additional charge I had to pay to my mail carrier Well it's going to show up on Amazon review for the guy. It's the principle of things.

I have no instruction on how to operate the Droid so I've been fiddling with it most of the day. I also had to go and buy a microSD card for it so I could download pdf reader for it. Kindle was already loaded along with flash player 10.1 So made things easier. I also had to download Amazon aps store application. Took me about an hour to figure how the whole thing works... Still not sure how I did it but it worked.

Just bought my first kindle book "This Time is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly". It's finally on my tablet. Took me another hour or so to figure out how to navigate on kindle.

Overall, it's pretty easy to use the droid tablet even without a manual. and the Kindle book store, I am afraid, is going to be very expensive for me. I also have several books in pdf format and they are also in my tablet. Some of the books are big and heavy so reading off the tablet is so much easier. I like it.

And because it is relatively cheap I don't have to worry whereas if the tablet was an iPAD or Samsung's Galaxy or any other tablet that cost $$$, I couldn't take it outside of my house. Too scared. At less than $80 with the additional postage, I'm not too worried.

YES!!!

this is probably going to sound dumb, but "you can get a kindle app on iPhone?" I have the iReader but if I can get the kindle app I'll use that one as I'm likely going to get a kindle for Christmas and I'd rather have them sync'd. Whenever I find myself with a bit of time, I do read the free books I downloaded on the iBooks. It's small, but definitely do-able and oh-so-convenient!

ha, just found it and am pleased it's free! I probably won't need to get a Kindle now.

As you've already discovered, yes! The part I like is that there is a 'cloud' dimension to it all in that if I read on my kindle app on my phone or on my laptop (yes, I have it there, too), it automatically syncs with my kindle the next time I use it in a wifi (or in my case, 3G), location. So I can read the same book on all devices and it keeps my page and notations.

I did find it hung up on a couple of my free books once, but it's been flawless on anything I've purchased.

By the way, I've been reading the classics I never read in school for free on Kindle. I just finished Pride and Prejudice and Treasure Island and now I have the adventures of Sherlock Holmes to read next.

yeah, I have to sync my kindle, I noticed I don't have anything in there right now - I have a couple of books on sample when I used it on my android phone, but I guess that probably wasn't sync'd.

I'm reading Persuasion by Jane Austen right now - I saw the movie but never read the book. It's great how it's all free!!
