Your brother probably has a model released earlier than the HD's (before September 2012). So, the last 3 years of Kindle Fires can do the Underground feature, Sept 2012 through the current ones. <br /><br /> The *one* NON-HD Kindle Fire tablet that CAN access Amazon Underground is the new $50 Fire ( <a href="http://bit.ly/fire50" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/fire50</a>). Your brother is probably a good candidate for that new model, which also has an up-to-128GB SD Card slot, which makes up for its having only 8GB of internal storage space.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-77383638752988766432015-11-08T04:38:40.237-08:002015-11-08T04:38:40.237-08:00My brither has an old refurbished kindle fire and ...My brither has an old refurbished kindle fire and I have an HD 6, and only I have the actually free stuff on my kindle.

Just go to the Amazon appstore and you'll see them with the labels I mentioned in the article.<br /><br /> Hope you can find them...

Depends on source and streaming companies' dictates.. The Kindle Fire tablets got HBO Go in June 2012 but this didn't get released for Fire TV until December 2014.<br /><br /> However, apps that the Fire TV did not have yet, I found I could get displayed on my old Sony HDTV (2004) by using my Kindle Fire HDX to "mirror" the app from the tablet to my Fire TV box, and the mirroring-display is excellent. <br /><br /> The Fire Stick gets most apps that the Fire TV has but tends to get it later. For example, while HBO Go reached Fire TV December 2014, the Fire Stick didn't get HBO Go until March 2015.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-84033845674395766752015-08-30T00:41:39.446-07:002015-08-30T00:41:39.446-07:00Holly, my personal take is that the Fire Phone is ...Holly, my personal take is that the Fire Phone is run by another team, and Amazon's features-history is that some devices get features at different times, probably because they have to make the code work with a different operating system type -- the phone is quite different from the HD-HDX tablets. While the tablets inherited some of the phone's Firefly features, it can't scan in info from business cards, for one example. <br /><br /> I did read they have let go some of the phone development team at Lab 126 in California, which, at first, was interpreted as halting work on Fire Phone 2, but then another article added that it is actually a move of phone development team to Seattle, where work will continue on some aspects of it, at Headquarters.<br /><br /> Hang in there. The smaller phone team moved to Seattle and it will have work to do, as Amazon has always updated its devices to get new features given to other devices, although that can be months to half a year later. With any updates that are finally made to older devices, Amazon has never talked about it in advance. It just happens. I imagine that's to keep expectations reasonable. If I find out more about this end of it, I'll add it to this blog article.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-55179938477090377912015-08-29T19:31:54.513-07:002015-08-29T19:31:54.513-07:00I am pleased so far with the Amazon Underground fo...I am pleased so far with the Amazon Underground for my kindle, but I'm disappointed (and feel a touch betrayed) that they don't have this working for Fire Phone. Seems like they'd want another incentive for buying and keeping the phone. They have made it available for other Android phones. What is the reasoning behind that? Do you have a theory? I hope they change that because now I don't have FAOTD either! Hollynoreply@blogger.com
