[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- I've talked with the rep from Learning Ally and they don't use software that is compatible with any of the Kindles. Very disappointing.  We already have 2 kindles for the kids.  I would need to get them an iPad or a Nexus 7 or a Galaxy.  All of those are pricey and I don't think they are great for reading.  Also just wanted a reader, not something with games and internet.

I should have checked before getting it, it didn't dawn on me that they would have online books but they wouldn't be compatible with the most common e-reader.

I'm shocked -- can't you install regular Android apps on the kindle?

But thanks for sharing, because I was thinking about getting a kindle.[/quote]

Nope. The company that developed the Android version could decide to make one for Kindle - but Kindle would be able to decide if it can be sold on their App Store.

Kindle Fire has the fewest apps in general. That could change but most tech watchers are skeptical it will ever get the traction of Android or iOs among the developer community. [/quote]

Does anything in this article, about getting apps from the google play store onto a kindle, help? http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2396276,00.asp[/quote]

OP here, thanks for the link, but unfortunately we don't have any Android devices that we could try to use that method with. I don't think I'm tech savvy enough to root a kindle either.  I'm due for a phone upgrade though, I may switch from my IPhone to an Android.
