I tried this on my Likebook Mars, and got the message "problem parsing the package". Must be incompatible with my android version which is 8.1.0. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Is this actually legal to link to given it's a copyright app?

Or is it even safe, given that the person sharing has only that post?
I'd not test it as I don't trust Google's scanner to spot stuff. Edit: This is the proper link and it works on any Android it installs on. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....amazon.kindle |

I scanned his APK file with VirusTotal. Virus scanner AhnLab-V3 says the file is infected with PUP/Android.Malct.1190475. PUP means Potentially Unwanted Program. Not necessarily a virus or malware but could have undesired behaviour on your device like ads or hijacking your home launcher, restricting access to files & apps in attempts to sell you a "solution" app.
That's too bad, I'd love to have a more eink friendly Kindle app. I use the official Android play store version. It works ok on my Meebook M7. Last edited by MetalHeadCrab; 09-23-2024 at 09:34 AM. |

It would be interesting to run VirusTotal on the stock app to see what comes up.
I run into problems sometimes with a few (out of 90+) virus scanners flagging my own Windows executables when I know for a fact that there is nothing bad in them. |

s post to get the link removed. I see no reason to allow the link to remain. It's to an old version and it's not safe and it's illegal. Last edited by JSWolf; 09-26-2024 at 01:44 PM. |
