Overdrive Media Console available for Fire
I think OMD has been in the Appstore for at least a little while (August?) but Amazon would not let you download it to Fire, it had to be side-loaded. Perhaps in response to B&N's decision to make it available in Nook Store last week, Amazon's throwing the Fire-enable switch this week. If you don't want to sync or backup annotations, or don't like library books being added to your Kindle Library, it's a couple of steps easier than the process for borrowing a book in Kindle format. OMD gets regular updates and it is better than it used to be.

Is this out now, I purchased it in August but it is not showing up as downloadable on the Fire?

I just played with this app today on a Kindle Fire 2 and was able to checkout a Kindle book straight from the app; no computer involved. I had no idea that Kindle books were available through this app.
Here's the October news release from OverDrive. |
