well apparently there is a problem now with the download link. I have been trying for .5 hr without success, I keep getting thrown back to the amazon website log-in page, and I see several others are having the same issue. I hope they fix it soon.
Anybody else having problems?
It seemed to install on my Tour no problem but would give an error when I try to run it:
Error starting kindle: Module 'kindle-1' has verification errors.
or:
Error starting kindle: Error loading module 'kindle' OutOfMemoryError.
I did a battery pull, still got the errors... reinstalled it, still getting the errors. I have over 50MB of app memory free even on a bad day, so I doubt I'm really "out of memory"
Yep, not working on my T-Mo 8900 either. I get "Error starting kindle: Module 'kindle-2' has verification errors", then, when I run it again, I get "Error starting kindle: Class org.xml.sax.SAXException' not found. When I start it a third time, it starts the cycle over.
I've never used Kindle...is it just like an Amazon client for buying books through digital distribution, or are there free books available there too?
There are some free ebooks available on Amazon. As well you can download free ebooks from feedbooks or freekindlebooks both of which have several classics that are past their copyright period.
Just download the Mobi/Kindle version of the book you want, then move that file into the /kindle/ebooks directory on your media card. Then restart Kindle (if it's already running).
Wife heard this and was super excited...but not for 8330. hope they are working on this to work with 8330. The 83xx section of this site has the biggest topics, so i image it has the most users. Which most users=more money for them.
Well, for those being bounced back to the Kindle page when trying to download it, Amazon has identified your device as "not being supported". Amazon is identifying the devices based on their user-agent string.
I have an Curve 8330 which of course is not on their list... but I couldn't let that stop me from installing it.
I used user-agent switcher in Firefox on my PC to make it think I was a blackberry tour. With that I was able to download the JAD file and get the hidden URL for the actual download.
With that URL I was able to install the Kindle app on my BB 8330.
Everything appeared to be working, until I went to download a book :-(.
For some reason every book I download is failing. I'm not sure yet if this is a space issue, or something else going on. I'm running the 5.0 BB OS from this forum.
Anyway, on the off chance that might help someone else, I figured I'd post the information.
I didn't... But I did some poking around today and even if I were able to get the app insttalled, it would be useless since I wouldn't be able to log into my account as it contains my geo location as a part of my account profile.

Do you have to create an account to read books? I have plenty of mobi books (witthout DRM) but I see no way of opening them. I did move some to the kindle\eBooks directory.

As a mod I can edit other's posts, so I fixed your link in case anyone wants to use it to get kindle.
