Kindle app taking forever to load books and go from purchased to downloaded

I have a FireHD 10 that’s not the current generation, but the one before (speaking of which when are they going to
Update it? It was last updated in 2023) it has 32 GB, 19 of which are Free. I recently started using it again after selling my iPad. But it’s been taking forever to load the comics I have on the kindle app. Granted, I easily have a couple of thousand comics from over the past 15 years. But, it takes forever for the downloaded books to show after switching from purchased to downloaded. I factory reset it and cleared cache. The only thing I resisted was buying a Micro SD card because I didn’t know if adding more space would help since it’s currently not even using half the storage. Its OS is also current. I’m tempted to say screw it and buy a more current HD 10 (or go to Best Buy and buy the 11 Max since Amazon doesn’t seem to carry it) but I honestly don’t know if the increased RAM would help.

Kindle Fire 7 is stuttering when I try to play YouTube videos.

Hi, hoping someone here can help me. My Kindle Fire 7 just today started having an issue with playing YouTube videos, where it plays 1 or 2 seconds, I get the spinning circle for a half-second, it plays 1 or 2 seconds, spinning circle, repeat. Needless to say it's impossible to watch or listen to anything on YouTube with this happening. Here is what I've tried so far to resolve it:

  • Restarting the Kindle Fire.
  • Powering it completely off and leaving it off for a few minutes.
  • Clearing cache and freeing up space.
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling the YouTube player.
  • Downloading and trying a different YouTube player from the app store.
  • Restarting my router since I was getting the same issue with 2 different apps.

Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Pop Up Ads - Kids Fire Tablet HD

I’m trying to fix my son’s tablet before a 12hr roadtrip tomorrow. It constantly opens a pop-up and seems to be associated to a game called Snake Warz but I could be wrong. Despite deleting this game and spending 3 hours troubleshooting, I can’t seem to get it to stop popping up.

I really don’t want to factory reset it because it will delete my son’s game progress, which would be devastating to him.

If anyone has any suggestions, please and thx!!

Gifted tablet with custom ROM

I was just gifted a kindle fire HD 8 (8th generation) and based on what I can seem to find it seems to have a custom ROM installed. There’s no Amazon AppStore or the preloaded apps. It says it’s running android version 7.1.2, and several factory resets have done nothing.
The problem is the person that gifted it to me didn’t mess with it, and I didn’t, and every answer I found on the internet said you have to know what was changed to be able to put it back.
How can I fix this?

fire HD 8 says it no longer is compatible with the SD, limiting my storage to just 25 GB.

As title says. just wondering if there is a fix, or it's expected to go buy another one... I've seen this online as an common issue, but can't find an answer if it's been solved by anyone.

Kindle fire hd second gen (red screen bricked)

What can I do with this old timer?

I can't actually find the exact model, but the system version is 7.5.1. I think it could be fire HD 2nd generation?

Is there anything I can do with this to make it more usable? I'm not sure if there is any jailbreaking available for this device, or even just apps that make it usable for things other than books?

This one also has yellow right down the middle of the screen, wonder if anyone knows of any hacks to fix that?

Is there a way to emulate a fire tablet

Long story short I found an APK of a game and it’s actually the full latest version which is a big deal because the one I’m running right now is the earliest version which I’m pretty sure it’s missing a lot but I can’t get it to actually run because it it doesn’t detect some sort of special Amazon thing so is there any way to get some sort of emulator to emulate the special Amazon thing for it to detect and work

Is replacing the battery on my kindle fire 7, 9th gen worth it?

I would really like to keep using my kindle fire 7 if at all possible. It's about 6 years old but works great except for the battery issue. At this point it needs to be charged it daily. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kindle library menu now on side panel

Last week I turned my Kindle on to read and the menu has moved from the bottom to the side panel. Has this happened to anyone else? I hate it. I would like it back to the bottom but I haven't seen anybody else discussing this. I don't know if I did something wrong or if this is just like a new update that I'm one of the first people to get.

Edit: it's fire hd 8 Gen 12

My Kindle Fire 7 Generation 3 has many hundreds of books, yet my amazon account does not show device

I purchased a new Kindle Fire 7, and I want to have my books copied to the new device from my ancient Kindle Fire 7, but the old device is not registered to any of my amazon'com accounts. Argh. I can still buy more books with the old device, and they show up on the device, and I can read them.

The old reader is registered to a @ kindle'com email address.

Am I forever doomed to use the old Kindle Fire 7 Third Generation? Have I lost access to the books that I have purchased?

Thank you for telling me the bad news.
