"I haven't had an issue connecting it to Calibre, and getting it to recognize it, but I can't move books except through calibre companion. Calibre says they are there, and ES shows they are there, but they don't show up in kindle."

I recently got a Fire and added a 64mg SD card. I intended to load the books on the card. The books loaded ok and I could see and open them from ES File I couldn't open from the home or book page.

I contacted Amazon and was told that I couldn't read the books if they are on the SD card I could only read them on the main memory.

I'm glad I didn't overspend on the card. Not much use if you can't load books to it and read them from the card

It might be okay, but I'm not sure you'll be able to make a judgement about it from a screen shot.

I did view PDFs on my 1st generation Fire (same screen properties as the new Fire 7), but not the type of PDFs your son wants to use. I don't have it any more or I'd try posting a screen shot.

D&D PDFs, from what I gather, are designed to print out on 8.5x11" paper, have tiny text and graphics, so may not be readable viewing full page on a 7" screen with only 162ppi pixel density. But if you're willing to zoom and pan a bit (or view partial page zoom-to-width in landscape orientation) it is probably workable. A dedicated PDF app like EZ-PDF or Adobe Reader will give you more options than reading them with the Kindle app.

If it is an option, I would just get one and try it out.

I complained (up thread I think) that the (software) keyboard supplied with the Fire 7" didn't have a /paste/ function (as Ctrl V) unless you connected a Bluetooth keyboard.

I now notice in the Amazon App Store the Swype Keyboard (app by Nuance Communications, Inc )

http://www.amazon.com/Nuance-Communi...dp/B00FHEP9XM/ which claims to be compatible and has that feature and claims DRAGON DICTATION too

(There is a free version too).

Has anyone tried this or any other smarter keyboard ?

On any Android tablet and keyboard you paste by doing a long press in the area you want to paste it into. I'm replying from my HD 8 using the stock keyboard. I usually use Swiftkey keyboard because I want a number row and arrows on my keyboard.

Pasted partial data from your post cutting off part of the bold and url tags:

Thanks, I must try that on my HDX (not in the User Guide of course).

And it works on the Fire 7" (a 'Paste' button appears) so thanks again.

There is an example of using a 7" Fire with a D&D PDF in this video (from about :54 to about 2:12)...



Keep in mind that's the 7 HD which has a better screen than the current 7.

Finally used to it--and I love it!! I use Calibre Companion to connect to Calibre via content server. I wireless download books. If I just read before bed, I just turn off the screen, and when I turn it on the next night, it is in the same place. But, if I am going to another screen, you need to set a bookmark before you leave. That allows me to go back to where I left off. Not as intuitive as my PW, but I love the screen.

Yeah, but I'm feeling overwhelmed at the idea of searching through apps and figuring out what's worthwhile and what's not!

What do I like to do? Complain, mostly.

I just need to look through some online manuals with tips and recommendations for apps and such like. And then start trying things out.

I've seen a variety of recommendations for an epub reader, and I guess one of the first big tasks it to try them out, pick one, and then figure out how to transfer and organize all the epubs. I haven't used Calibre to organize my library, only for converting, so this is going to be a big job.
