I don't use the built in Kindle app at all on my HDX. I use Moon+ Pro or occasionally Mantano (both sideloaded) in conjunction with Calibre Companion. Don't know that they're "better", the Kindle app works fine, it's just that they can be customized much more (margins, line-spacing, colors, fonts) than the Kindle reader app can.

I think my post got eaten.
Moon+ Pro is the best you can read with however you will need another Android device to install it on and then backup the app to a apk and install it on the Kindle Fire. It will need to be brought from the Amazon App Store as Google Play edition wont work. There is also Mantano which is very nice but I prefer Moon+ Pro with Calibre Companion. These all are paid apps. Amazon blocks all ereader apps on the Kindle Fire but the Overdrive library one. So you will need to sideload them. |

Jill Shalvis' well rated Wilder series is on sale for $2.99 each (or less with a 50% Kobo code). These were originally published under Kensington's Brava imprint so are likely to be on the spicier side. I can't say for sure since I haven't read any of them yet.

Kindle Freebie! This one has not even been previously discounted so most of us that have been collecting these probably don't have it yet. I didn't.

Blu2u (or anyone else),
As our resident rockstar expert... Have you read any of this series? They aren't necessarily on sale but I ran across them and the prices aren't bad (2.99/3.99 US at amazon), so I thought I'd ask The Beaumont Series - this is the series page on Goodreads |

Not sure about the built in Kindle reader, but in theory it should. When you select "read" on the book in Calibre Companion it brings up the option to open the book in the various reading apps you have on your device. Unless of course you have set a default reading app, then it open the book in that app. But if you go into settings you can clear your default reading app so it will give you the options.
