When you first turn the Kindle fire HD 8.9 it is clear that the online retailer has designed the Tablet PC primarily as revenue engine for the own shop: the setting up of the equipment works like already in the seven inch predecessor model only with an ID, about an existing account. EBooks purchased at & co. can easily transfer to the device. However, is the only one directly accessible sales platform for apps, music and eBooks. The Google play store does not recognise the Kindle: who wants to purchase apps, must download them on another device, then via USB cable, and the Kindle settings under device, installation of applications enable the entry. Quite beautifully awkward and very annoying!
