Little tip for people getting Kindles for Christmas...

[PeterPan]

If there are apps in the the Google Play Store or elsewhere that you want to get onto your kindle but they're NOT on amazon, you still can!

It works with any android app that is *free*.  No good if it's a paid app.

 

I used it to download Know Abacus (an abacus app) and Learning Ally.  

 

Have fun!  :)

Here's a tip -- if you get a used kindle, take a look at what is loaded on it already. Or more specifically, when your mom gives your 12 yr old the kindle your 96 yr old grandmother had been using, check to make sure that it is not full of erotica.

Right I will remember that one.

Yikes!! 😳 My dd is getting my 85-year-old grandma's used Kindle. I would never thought to check. 😀

Yes. And she naturally read everything before telling me. 😳It kind of makes all future attempts at censorship and sheltering your child from adult themes pretty pointless. Nothing to be done now... She survived. Maybe someone else can learn from our mistake!
