Still waiting for DropBox. There's always the web interface for that, but. Also hope Mantano gets a newer version in the Appstore before too long. They've made a lot of improvements since July...
Reading through the thread, some of the posts suggest that there's a way to tell if any given app in Appstore is Fire-compatible. How is that done? I've pre ordered Fire but it does not yet show up as one of my Android devices on amazon.com, though it is listed as one of my Manage Your Kindle devices. |

You can download the Dropbox app from their site directly. No Market needed. |

I'm very curious to know how easy it will be to read magazine text on the Fire. Do they format it in a special way for the 7" screen? The covers do look gorgeous!

Quickoffice Pro is free (again) if anyone missed it last time.
Edit: Sorry, OfficeSuite Pro 5 was the free one I remembered. Similar name. This is a new one. Last edited by TimW; 11-14-2011 at 09:23 AM. |

I will be deleting Quickoffice when I get my Fire. It just looks too ugly. I know function over form, but eugh.
But as a note... If you're not a technical person, be careful!!!! Sideloading can brick your Kindle Fire! Only download from verified sources (maybe even just the developer's websites) and check the permissions. |

Amazon has pre-ordered some apps for my Kindle Fire. Found them when checking on apps and my devices. They have also assigned a serial number for the Fire.

Likely because they're making sure the hardware can handle it. There's probably some form of DRM, too. I downloaded the Netflix app for Android on my LG Thrive when it became available and it was unusable. It was like watching a slideshow and after a few seconds, the audio and video goes out of sync.
