I don't like the limitation with Amazon's version of apps that they periodically insist on connecting to the Amazon store (which requires WiFi) to check their licenses. OTOH, I have quite a few credits that I could spend there. I have mostly Kindle tablets, but we also have android phones, a nook tablet and a large and small samsung tablet. All but one are appstore compatible (the nook). The nook and generic devices are fine with Google, but sideloading on the Fires isn't a big deal (for me, usually).
What reader (other than the one ScribD forces on you) are you all using?

The Scribd app in the Amazon store is not compatible with my Fires. Don't know if it is with the newer one. Scribd actually tells kindle fire users to get the app from their site. They have a nice page set up for that so that is how I initially got it. Interesting to note that I noticed a white space along the right side on my Fire when using the white on black Like a stripe as if the screen didn't reach all the way. It also says the version is standalone 3.4.0. That is the one from the Scribd website.
In my quest of trouble shooting, I went to 1mobile and got their scribd version which I installed. It went right over the other one without losing anything. First thing I noticed was that the screen is not having that white space on the right anymore and the version now says google play 3.5.1.
I don't see any other differences. I could have sworn initially that the font looked clearer, but I am sure that is in my head as my Ofire has a 169 resolution so that is all there is.
I am not sure I understand what you mean about what reader we normally use. You mean for reading in general? I use e-ink kindles. But obviously they can't use apps so I have to use a tablet.
