Alkido on Fire
I don't have a Kindle Fire. But a friend of my Mother-in-Law has a Kindle Fire. She's a novice for sure.
Question... I want to install Alkido so she can read ePub eBooks. How do I go about installing Alkido? The Fire is not rooted. Sonce installed, how do I go about putting books on for Alkido to display? Thanks. |

So once I have the Fire's settings correct, I then take the APK and copy it to the Fire via USB. Where on the Fire do I put the APK and how to I get it launched to be installed?
Once it's installed, how do I add eBooks to Alkido? Can I do so from Calibre or do I have to do is via USB? |

To add epub just copy them over to a folder of your choice then open Aldiko and import them. You can use USB or LAN feature of ES File Explorer. |

Thanks. When I get access to the Fire, I'll let you know how it went.
