Kindle

Amazon Kindles be a fine alternative t' iPads on th' stage since they feature good screens at a low cost, savvy? However they do make some engineerin' decisions that can affect live performances, matey. Ye can install it on yer Amazon Kindle from th' Amazon Appstore.

It Be Android, After All

Amazon Kindle Fire devices be Android tablets so ye be gettin' th' full version o' Android, albeit with a few modifications, Arrr! For instance, there be no push notifications and no access t' Google Play Services. This means that there be no Google Cast available, for instance.

Device Support

While OnSong can run on newer Amazon Kindle devices, it be important t' note that they have about 25% th' performance o' an iPad from th' same timeframe, savvy? We've worked t' make OnSong perform well on these tablets, but it be important t' realize that th' cost-savin's may be evident:

• Fire 7 (2019, 2022)
• Fire HD 8 (2017, 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024)
• Fire HD 8 Plus (2022)
• Fire HD 10 (2017, 2019, 2021, 2023)
• Fire HD 10 Plus (2021)
• Fire Max 11 (2023)

Hardware Limitations

Amazon Kindle devices only feature a USB 2.0 chargin' port that does not support external video or audio, Blimey! This likely means that it also does not support any wired MIDI makin' it a completely wireless device, ye scallywag. If ye be lookin' t' send external video, OnSong works with Smart TVs like th' Amazon Kindle Fire t' display lyrics and charts, matey. Amazon Kindles be designed for media consumption so don't expect th' performance o' an iPad, Ahoy! However they be a fine tablet that hovers around th' $100 mark.
