Possible?
Is it possible to install the Kindle app on the T2? Reason for asking is I recently discovered that I could install the same app on my phone, laptop, and desktop computer and none of the devices had ever had the app installed. After installation, could read ANY Kindle title with ease. So the question.

yes, but you'll probably have to use an old version of the app
I had the Kindle app on my T1 way back when, so it is certainly not impossible |

I am skeptical. Amazon regularly update their apps and older ones stop working, so even if you find a t1, t2 era app....
Plus it's non trivial to sideload an app to a e reader |

As stumped said, there's a chance that a Kindle app that would work with a T2 would not work with Amazon as it will have to be an old app as it's a rather old version of Android. It's based on Android 2.2. Yes, it's that old.
