I first had my Kindle Fire HD tablet at Christmas 2017, at a bargain price, and it’s done great service. I wrote a short but detailed guide for new users<\/a> at that time, which appeared on this blog. That post encapsulated what I’d learned on how to set up the Fire and the best apps. I’ve now updated that post…<\/p>\n

* AIMP is now my preferred audio player on both Desktop and Kindle. AIMP has a fine free Android app that can be ‘sideloaded’. It does easy bookmarking of audio files. <\/p>\n

* The NX Player app is also free, and was the only genuine freeware I could find that is able to play the audio streaming from your PC over wi-fi, when using the open-source desktop freeware “Stream What You Hear” on your PC.<\/p>\n

* Comic Time is another fine free comic book reader app I’ve found in the last year.<\/p>\n

* OneCast is definitely the best free podcatcher for podcasts. Excellent coverage and all nine of my regular podcasts could be found in its lists. Superb interface, no ads or nags.<\/p>\n

* Screen On is the best genuinely free app to keep your Kindle from dimming or rebooting while you listen to music on wireless bluetooth headphones. The 2017 Kindle Fire’s bluetooth coverage and power\/range is excellent compared to a \u00a310 USB stick transmitter. With the aid of Screen On, the Kindle can be used as a base-station for bluetooth headphones.<\/p>\n

* To send Web links to things like YouTube videos, without some Cloud sharing service or QR codes or similar, just set up a Trello board for your links and drag\/drop the link onto a card there. They then show up in your Kindle browser, which is also pointed at the Trello board. When you drag and drop onto a Trello card, it embeds a live clickable link to the Web URL. Thus there’s no tedious copy-paste involved anywhere in the process. I looked long and hard for a simple way to pass live clickable Web links between a PC and a tablet, and this was the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
