I go to search in the market, and type in dialer, it brings up all the customisable dialer choices, if i choose ANY of them, i go to pay, and everytime i get the error message "A server error has occurred,retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen" but it is only on the dialer packages.i can buy and download anything else fine,
Can someone test this out for me?
Iv reset my phone 3 times, and its the same thing evertime, WHATS GOING ON?
Also the market is running VERY SLOW on my phone.
Just went out and purchased 'The Army and Vietnam' through my Kindle for PC app. Then I logged onto my Kindle for Android app and the book won't appear. Why are some books on Amazon not compatible with its own app on Android!Anyone know how to get the book onto my N1 so that I can read it on the way to work?

Will Amazon's Kindle Android App Hurt Kindle Sales? - PCWorld
I haven't seen any comments on the new Kindle app specifically regarding the Droid. I downloaded it a few days ago and it is great.
IMO the Kindle app is the best ebook reader - great selection of titles, easy to purchase, good prices and just a top notch app. It also automatically synchs with all of my other Kindle compatible devices.
But what really stands out in this app, over other ebook readers on the Droid is the fact that the developers found a way to lower the screen brightness - lower than I've seen with any other app - so you can read in a dark room (in bed) without staring at a bright screen. Plus, just in case that contrast isn't low enough, the developers added a sepia background, under "View Options." This makes the background an off-white.
I highly recommend this app as the best ebook reader for the Droid.
I want to use Kindle for my Feedbooks but have run into a problem. Before I actually bought anything from Amazon, I was able to use the Kindle app with my Feedbooks as the folder "kindle" was on my sd card and that's where I stored my Feedbooks. (I had to do a workaround and download the books to my pc and then transfer them to the kindle folder on the sd card because I couldn't download the files directly to my phone -- but it worked).
When I bought my first book from Amazon, however, it caused the Kindle app to force close every time I tried to open it. I called Amazon and they told me to delete the "kindle" folder on the sd card but they didn't tell me how to be able to use the Kindle app to read my feedbooks.
Amazon Kindle on my phone stopped getting book samples. I have three samples already but I can't get any more. The Amazon website says sample being sent to device, but when I go check the Kindle app, it never gets there. I deregistered, installed, etc. It won't sync new samples.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a book that each page is a JPG picture (believe me, this is how the book is intended to be). This book is intended to be read in landscape.
This will be a kindle book, intended to be read on all kindle platorms (kindle 1, kindle 2, iphone, ipad, mac, windows and android). I don't have a kindle yet, but I have kindle app for iPhone and mac.
I have prepared the HTML structure to be used.
My question is: the images were created to be seen in landscape, and all images were saved in this format (I mean, the largest size is the horizontal).
If I create an HTML for kindle and all images are saved that way, the images will be scaled down, so they fit on the horizontal size of the device screen, right?
As this was the way this book was created for iPhone and iPad, I suppose that at least on Android users will have the option to turn the device sideways and the image will expand to fill the screen. But what about Kindle 1 and 2?
If I rotate the images 90 degrees CCW, kindle 1 and 2 will see the image at the maximum dimension possible but when the android user rotates the device, the image will rotate and the user will not be able to see it correctly.
I currently have a Hero (Sprint). I have some money and am trying to decide whether I want to buy an Evo off Craigslist (I'm not eligible for upgrade until October--I'll just sell my upgrade then for ~$200) and sell my Hero, or if I want to buy an iPad and sell my Kindle.
I was hoping to get some feedback here from people who own an iPad and could be a little more objective on how they use it than the Apple Fanboys out there.
Cost wise the Evo would be a little less -- I could probably buy the Evo for around $350-$400 and sell the Hero for around $100-$150, whereas the iPad would run me about $530 and I could sell my Kindle for $200. It's fairly negligible difference though.
I don't live in an area that has 4g or will in the foreseeable future. I do a lot of web-browsing on my Hero and spend around ~30 minutes a day reading RSS feeds (NewsRob). I read a lot of news sites and blogs throughout the day (outside of RSS feeds) on my laptop. I don't really use my Kindle as much as I thought I would -- I've read a few books, but I'm not an avid reader. I spend 80% of my reading time on news.
I very much miss my BB Tour's camera flash. I don't carry a regular camera and miss being able to take low light pictures (not looking for anything spectacular -- just the ability to take group pictures of friends and such).
I've played with the iPad and it is fun, and I could see browsing and reading news articles been very comfortable and more enjoyable, especially on the couch or something where I don't have a table. Some of the games are pretty fun (Plants vs Zombies!!!). I don't get eye strain from staring at an LCD screen.
The problem with the iPad is I'm just not sure when I'd use it over the Evo and my Kindle/Laptop. It's large enough that I can't carry it without a backpack, and then at that point I might as well carry my Laptop and/or Kindle with me. I'd also have to decide when to buy apps for the iPad vs the Hero.
I really really really want a kindle 2 reader, but it isn't my birthday until December, so I've downloaded the kindle for Android application to my Sony Ericsson X10 Experia, I've only downloaded one book so far, but I read it within a day, I noticed at the end of the book that it said "quick read". Are all the books supplied quick reads? Is this the same on the Kindle reader? If this is the case I won't be buying one, I want the full version of the books!
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt seems amazon really makes things a little complicated trying to concert PDF files into ePub files and sync with the default kindle app. I cannot get kindle to recognize the books I converted for anything. I downloaded file explorer and I'm moving it into the kindle app and into the amazon android folder and no luck. Does converted PDFs to other formats know which folder it's supposed to go into?

The Kindle app doesn't work in Velocity 0.3. It worked fine in stock ROM. I can download a book but when I try to read it, I get an error that it can't open the book. This happens with books I have on my archive list as well as new downloads.

View 1 Replies View RelatedTwo weeks ago, after upgrading to 2.2 on my HTC Desire I lost the Market app - clicking on the short-cut produced an error and the market app has disappeared from the list of software.
Also, I don't seem to be able to install new programmes via app marketplace websites any more. I guess this is linked to the missing market app. How can I get it back?
Imagine my surprise when I went to open a purchased book on my Kindle App, and was told that I had exceeded the max number of devices registered to my Kindle account. Upon further investigation, I found that each time I flashed a new rom, it registered as a new device on my Kindle / Amazon account! This was easily rectified by deregistering all but the "6th Eris Device" and I'm good to go. Just thought I'd share this with those readers here who use the Kindle App - no need to do a small flip-out, like I did.

I wonder if they are interchangeable? I am rather nervous to randomly plug it in and to my computer as I am, by NO means, technically savy.
I have a Kindle Fire HD and would like to install a SwiftKey keyboard on it. I am told that this is possible but in order to accomplish this I need to 'root' the device. And once installed I can unroot the device again.

I currently cannot download anything, either via wi-fi or Mobile network.
I cannot download anything from the android market, it goes to start & then just stops & just shows starting download...what can i do to sort this...plus i keep getting a notifiication saying google talk authentication failed ( this is only just started since i changed from googlmail.com to gmai.com.

It asks if I want to connect to a Wifi hotspot, but I'm already connected to the wireless box in my flat. The Internet's working on my phone, because I've been surfing the web and going on Facebook, YouTube etc.
