Perspective Buyer to see if I should change from Kindle to Sony: Does anybody know if this device allows you to read secured Mobipocket?
1584764
if you mean mobipocket that is DRM'd, in theory you *can* read secure mobipocket on this device -- but not without extreme contortions (i.e. running it through a variety of homegrown utilities to massage the mobi into a format that Sony can understand). In practice, it probably isn't going to buy you much over the kindle because if you jump through the hoops needed to make your secure mobipocket readable on the sony, it will probably be readable on the Kindle. For more information on this, check out the mobile read forums over at http://www.mobileread.com/forums/ which has a wealth of information on all things related to virtually every ereader out there (or soon-to-be). Hope this helps. N. Jenkins

Yes but you have to allow other device/source and may have to have Kindle send you the link.

I haven't used the Kindle, but I have a Sony Reader, and I'm very pleased with it. I did research, too, and the ultimate thing that points me in Sony's direction is that it's an open system--there are more file formats available for it. Also, with the freeware programs on the Web, you can do things the Kindle does (i.e., download newspapers) without getting the more expensive device. Books don't take that long to download for the Sony device, though you do have to plan in advance what you want to read, since you can't download it anywhere. While there are definite advantages to the Kindle (Whispernet), I really like my Sony Reader. I haven't used the Kindle, but I have a Sony Reader, and I'm very pleased with it.

Dear Xavi,Thank you for your reply. Since my last message I have purchased the Kindle 3 as I was concerned about the difficulty of buying and downloading books within the UK. I am so far very happy with the Kindle although I am very interested in what you think of the Nook. I have relatives in the US who are considering buying an e-reader and so I would love to know what your opinion is. If you get the chance to give me some feedback once you've used it that would be great!Thank you.Sincerely,Michelle

It's bluetooth. Does your android and Kindle have bluetooth connectivity? If so they should be able to pair.

Daniel, I don't see why you couldn't us this. I've never tried but the concept is the same. I would advice you to go to youtube and watch --isesamo review-- and see the device opening the kindle to see how easily it works... Be careful if you chose to use this handy little tool, because you are opening plastic with a piece of metal. Could Scratch.

Yes, you can add the Kindle Reader App from the Google Play Store and it works fine.

I don't have this specific device, however, if this kindle has a micro usb port, you will have no problems.

Hey amazon prime team, you are losing another customer here if you are not fixing your android ics video problems. We pay and like to watch prime on any mobile device, not just the kindle. Tying prime to your hardware only is foolish. Reconsider this approach, please.

I'm trying to pair with a Fire HD at the moment, but I can't get the pairing input code to work. At the moment, I'd have to say not compatible... but it seems like it's really, really close. I'll update if I can get it to work - the problem lies in entering the pairing code on the controller.Edit - no way to use on kindle. The only icade device that works with kindle is the 8 bitty controller... And good luck finding games that support it :)

I have never used a kindle but because it only has a micro USB I do not think it can host a USB device like a media card reader. Both devices would need to be plugged into a computer to share/transfer files.

Sony has developed their own e-reader app. You can try downloading it for compatibility with Kindle: https://ebookstore.sony.com/download/

Hail'O Sandra ~ Yes, you certainly can....there are some free Android Aps available here on amazon.com that will allow you to access and use the Kindle book files.
