At least books. I'm not sure if that counts with apps. And not even sure if all older apps work on all newer kindles for that matter (there are complaints for that very game not working on the HDX). Plus with the recent firmware update requirements I wonder if at some point it wont even be possible to do it through amazon.
My understanding is that ebooks are DRM'ed with something unbreakable locking them to one amazon kindle. But is that also the case with software? |
It is not drm. But if you buy an ebook and send it to your kindle keyboard, Amazon will send a format compatible with the keyboard. Now if you decide you want to read it on your kindle touch, Amazon will send the compatible format for the touch. If you need it on your kindle for pc, again compatible format for the kindle for pc.
Most books can be sent to 6 devices and some are unlimited.
Now there are a few books that because of the uploaded format they are only compatible with certain devices.
As of right now there are 9 or 10 kindles and apps for Android, Apple and PC.
Or you can do what many here do, convert their books with Calibre.
