These are the things I did to turn my $40.00 disappointing Kindle Fire tablet into something comparable to the $200.00 tablets in circulation.īefore proceeding, please be aware that if you mess up your Kindle Fire device, I am not responsible for it. This lead me down the path of wanting to root the tablet and install a custom ROM to it. This rendered the Kindle Fire tablet rather useless to me. The problem is that my Prime subscription was part of a household account, which has fine print that says I can only stream, not download. I purchased one of these $40.00 tablets and a large micro SD card with the intention of downloading a bunch of movies as part of my Prime subscription. I heard Amazon Prime members can download movies for free and I saw that Amazon Kindle Fire tablets were only $40.00 with an expandable SD card slot.
The problem with this is my iPad doesn’t have a lot of storage space and can’t keep me entertained on a six or more hour flight. Up until now I’ve been using my iPad for watching the few movies I purchased from Google Play because Google Play lets you watch offline. I am always on a plane without internet and not much to do.
