When I click on the link for the Kindle File Utility, a gaming site or a porn site opens up. Is there another place that the Kindle Fire Utility can be found? I'm using a 1st generation Kindle Fire.

This may be common sense but I was having problems earlier syncing my kindle for mac and pc books with my Kindle for android. The kindle app on the nook is a nice alternative to the built in B&N reader for the availability of .mobi files.
Basically this is how I wireless sync my kindle app with my kindle for mac. If there is a better way I'd love to hear it.
Requirements:
-Dropbox app and dropbox on pc/mac.
-.mobi ebook file (or any other file readable by kindle)
-Root Explorer or similar
-SD card.
1) take the .mobi file or .azw file you want in your kindle app and put (or copy) it in your drop box. (I use calibre to edit the metadata/ add a table of contents if they are not already present before I move them).
2)Open dropbox app and download ebook. Then exit dropbox.
3) Open root explorer then to /sdcard/dropbox. Hit menu then multi-select, select the book (or books) you want to move and hit move. Go back to parent folder.
4) Go to the kindle folder (should be in /sdcard/kindle) you have to use the kindle folder on the sd card.
5) Click paste and exit root explorer.
6) To get your kindle app to sync with your sd card you have to pop the sd card out and put it back in. I just press it twice.
7) Open up kindle app and your books should be there.
Obviously you can avoid doing this by using an sd card reader and just dragging the books, into the kindle directory straight from your computer but this is just a neat way to do it via wireless.
Also you can load apks from dropbox if you want.
On my sd card i created a folder called kindle...... i put my files in there and the kindle app see's them all. woot
Hello,
I have a problem with downloading files from hosting sites such as rapidgator, hellshare etc. On default browser and on Google Chrome files aren't downloading at all or there is downloaded a file which has for example 26kb or so, while I am trying to download files about 400-700mb. On Opera Mobile the files are downloading, but if I will minimize the browser and start any other app, the downloading process is stopped. I am really surprised with that because a few months ago I also had HTC Desire Z and I could've download any file with the stock browser and. while downloading, check any app I wanted.
I have Asus Transformer Pad 300 with Android ICS (newest update). When I download files about 10mb everything is ok, so I assume it's the size problem or maybe file extension, but I tried the app called All files download (or something like that) which has been recommended in a similar post (but that user had SGS3) and it didn't helped either.
Any suggestions?
Hey, anyone knows what could possibly be the problem? I really need to download files
I'm requesting the silk browser APK file from the kindle fire.
To get the apk file use root explorer. (note: needs root)
Go to system, then apps, then copy the app named browser.
Then upload it here or something like dropbox and post the link here.
Thanks!

I'm not running the stock kindle android anymore, so I can't get it.
I believe you can extract the apk if you get the system.img of the kindle OS, then look in /system/app/.
I saw a system.img for the kindle fire 2 in Hashcode's CM10.1 ROM thread, have a look there?

I'm trying to extract the Astraware crossword app (which came with the Nook and has no Ads) using File Expert app from the Nook HD+ so that I can install it on the HDX. I was able to back it up to an apk file but it would not let me transfer it to the desktop. It created the apk file, just wasn't visible on the desklop side. Any suggestions?
Try apk extractor

My kindle got automatically updated to 4.1.1 now I'm wondering if I could remove the ads like I did with the preceding firmware. All I had to do was use a file explorer, go to system/app then render the dctp file inert, reboot and then boom. No ads. But ever since my kindle got updated, the ads got reenabled. I tried to go under system/app as I did before but now I can't find the file to rename. Any ideas?
You can't do this without root which you lost with new update.
