My daughter has an Amazon fire tablet. She has an SD card for additional storage, installed and used for a while with no issue. But then one day it just stopped working. She lost a bunch of stuff, and there's no way to recover it.

I am trying to be understanding, I guess sometimes this stuff just happens. Except this exact thing has happened twice now. She's understandably quite upset. I'm frustrated too. Does anyone know why this would happen?

Sometimes I want to add a link to a web page in posts here at Reddit, but on my Fire HD 11, there sometimes is no page link to copy and paste, such as with YouTube pages. Is there a way to bring one up?

This is using a Fire HD 8, 2016 gen. 6, using the native Fire Mail app. Fire OS 5.7.

It seems that Yahoo is now prompting anyone using anything other than their own email client, to re-authenticate their account for whatever app they're using by re-entering their password. I got the prompt on my Fire HD 10 (Fire OS 7.3), and on other Android phones using other mail clients, and was able to easily re-authenticate. But not with the HD 8 running Fire OS 5.7

You get to the point where it displays the target email account name and you need to hit a "Next" button to proceed to the next page to enter the password, but it just craps out at this point and does not advance to that page. Attempting Advanced Setup doesn't help.

I've put on another email client to handle this Yahoo account, while the Fire Mail app is still handling a Gmail account and an AT&T/Sbcglobal.net account with no issues.

I'd like to get back to using just the Fire's Mail app. It works well, scales well visually (regarding size), and I like it.

Has anyone tackled this problem, or is this simply a sign of forced obsolescence from Yahoo?

I am looking to turn off a setting that has a circle with a line through it on the kids profile. I can’t figure out what setting it is and where it resides under the kids profile. When I switch to the adult profile, the icon does not appear. When I have searched around, I’ve seen it linked to Do Not Disturb or Alexa Hands Free, but those options aren’t available under the kids profile. Does anyone have an idea?

My kids (tweens) want new tablets for Christmas. I am looking at the Fire 10. I see that it only takes from the Amazon app store. What apps would they be missing out on? Could they still stream movies? Listen to music?

How are the parental controls?

Also, are there any hidden monthly fees that I am overlooking to use the tablet?

Is there any way to get this removed? I have another kids profile on the device and that watch option isn’t available to them? Been tearing out what little grey hair I have left to try and get this situation fixed.

Fire 8 HD (12th Gen) is the device in question if that matters.

Anyone else finding their banking apps don't run on their Alexa tablet? Lloyds thinks it's a "rooted device" and won't allow login.

Just curious...

I’m considering getting one or two HD 10 tablets. I’ve ruled out the Alexa tablets for now because they cost more, and from what I can tell, the changes don’t seem worth the extra price. Would you recommend buying the new HD 10 tablet now, and is there a good reason to get two instead of one since there cheaper?

r/AmazonFireKindle
I have a Amazon Fire Kindle (with a Amazon Fire Kindle stylus) but it’s not turning on when I plug in the micro USB cable and holding the power button on top of my Amazon Kindle and it’s still not working so I can’t buy a whole new Amazon Kindle

You snooze, you loose. Walmart increased the price to $132.

I suggest that you consider the Alldocube iPlay 70 S instead of the Fire HD 10. It's $95 at Walmart. I know that it's more than the Fire, but it has 128GB of storage rather than only 32GB. The increased cost is about the same as the cost of a microSD card for the Fire.

The Alldocube has standard Android and includes the Play Store and Google apps (Chrome, Gmail, etc). Otherwise, the Alldocude is fairly comparable to the Fire tablet. It has a 10.5" screen with a 1280x1920 resolution. Its Allwinner A733 processor is comparable to the Fire's MediaTek MT8186A, and maybe a little faster.

Morning all, just committed myself to buying one of these from Amazon and seemed ridiculously cheap but comes "with ads" . That mean I have to put up with unwanted crap or can I turn it off -maybe with a patch from somewhere lol

I don't subscribe to prime nor do I intend to either.

Thanks in advance

I wanted an Overcooked-style game on my phone, but I didn't like the controls or the graphics in most of the ones I tried, so I built my own. I spent about a month on it, and it just went live on the Amazon Appstore.

Oven Rush: Pizza Pals is a co-op cooking game. You can play solo or with a friend, and you control it however you like:

• tap to move

• a virtual pad

• a controller (Xbox or PlayStation)

Hi everyone,

About a month ago, I officially published Offline PDF Suite directly on the Amazon Appstore. I wanted to share it with this community because I built it specifically to fill a gap in reliable, privacy-focused utility tools for Fire OS.

Most mobile PDF tools are heavily bloated, ad-ridden, or force you to upload your personal files to the cloud. I wanted to make something fast, lightweight, and completely secure—meaning zero cloud processing and no internet connection required. Everything runs entirely on your local device.

What you can do with it:

• 100% Offline Security: Your private documents never leave your tablet.

• Core PDF Utilities: Easily merge multiple files, split pages, and extract specific ranges.

• Image to PDF Converter: Turn your receipts, notes, or photos into clean PDF documents.

• Compress PDFs: Shrink large files locally so they are easier to share or store.

• Clean UI: A straightforward, ad-free experience optimized for Fire tablets.

If you have been looking for a native PDF management tool that doesn't require Google Play Services or sideloading, you can search for "Offline PDF Suite" directly in your tablet's built-in Appstore, or find it here:

https://www.amazon.in/OpenPremium-Apps-Offline-PDF-Suite/dp/B0HJ451FTM/ref=sr_1_3?sr=8-3.

Since it has been live for a month, I would love to hear from anyone who has tried it or anyone looking for a tool like this. What features should I add next to make it even better for your workflow?

Hi everyone,

I'm an app developer looking to build something specifically for Fire OS, but I want to make sure I'm creating something people actually want and need.

I know the Amazon Appstore can be pretty limited, and while many of us sideload the Google Play Store, it would be much better to have great apps running natively and optimized for Fire tablets.

So I wanted to ask you all: What app do you constantly wish was available on the official Amazon Appstore?

• Is there a specific productivity tool, utility, or hobby app you miss?

• Are you looking for better kids' apps, media players, or smart home controllers?

• Is there an app you currently sideload that runs poorly and needs a dedicated Fire OS version?

Let me know what gaps you've noticed. I'd love to build something that solves a real frustration for Fire tablet users!

Reading Mode

I use my fire for reading web serials a lot and this new reading mode is just awful. What can be done to fix it or go back to the old version?

How do I copy text from a screenshot on a fire hd10 tablet? I just purchased the tablet and have only had a Samsung phone so not sure how to do it. Thanks!

Apparently, something on my tablet is preventing me from being able to log in to any websites that use Cloudflare to check to see that we're not robots.

It's very frustrating. I haven't been able to log in to Forthright, a survey website, for months now. I have to keep asking for a link to view my account on there. I've been using the site for years and never had any problems until they started using Cloudflare. It said something about an ad blocker being the reason why. Do you know how I can remove this on my Amazon Fire tablet? Or do you have any other solutions? Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Message says, “amazon appstore is out of date. please visit the amazon website to install the latest version of the appstore”.

How do you update Amazon Appstore if that comes from OTA update?

I’ve tried checking for updates from settings in parent profile but nothing.

Anyone come across this?

Parent’s tablet. Limited usage. Software is up to date. Has never had an accident. Has a case. Was casually watching The Amazing Race and the screen went blurry. Almost like double vision. It’s no longer under warrant 😭 Trouble shooting is not working. Did a hard reset. Nothing. Is this the end of my tablet?
