So does this require a WiFi connection? I'm fuzzy on how this works with the kindle. I want to be able access storage when WiFi isn't available.

It has it's own built in wifi signal it emits to your device and that's how you connect to it. Honestly, I could never get it to work even though I could get my device to see it. I just plus it in and use it like a flash drive now.

This device becomes your wifi service. You connect your Kindle to the wi-drive using wifi, then you can connect the wi-drive to another wifi hot-spot and it will route the connection to the Kindle.

It does require a Wi-Fi connection. Although, I do put videos and such on the drive using the USB cable connected to my computer, so if your kindle has a USB port, I guess you could plug into it and access the data on the drive that way without using Wi-Fi.

I have yet to have problems with mine. My old tablet refused to download books from Kindle any longer and that is how I knew it was out of memory. Did you check the amount of memory available? Do yo have many games downloaded?

I do not have a Kindle, but I have three iPhones and an iPad connected to my Linksys X2000 Wireless-N. In addition, we have four computers, a Wii, a canon printer, a Blu-ray player and a bridge connected to it. It has performed flawlessly. Do not buy D-link!

I have never used a kindle but because it only has a micro USB I do not think it can host a USB device like a media card reader. Both devices would need to be plugged into a computer to share/transfer files.

There is something to understand here. I love my Kindle, it has about zero radiation when the wireless or 3G function is turned OFF. Do you understand? Why use a Kindle with the wireless function on? There is no need once you download your book. So this product would not be necessary in any way for a Kindle. If you are using the wireless function on the Kindle, this pad would block the radiation on the backside of it, but do absolutely nothing for the wireless signal shooting out the sides and front. Hope this helps.

Any wireless wifi capable device will work with this router.You need Verizon DSL now called HSI in order for it to work.It will connect automatically, if you already have their service. If you're not familiar with setting up certain features such as port forwarding you can call their customer service reps for further assistance.However you don't need to port forward with this device, but you'll need to create a device name and a password for your HSI in order for your Kindle to work. You have to copy that same information to your kindles device under wifi settings.Yes,its also b,gand n capable.Please check your settings under wireless setting to make sure its set to b,g or n.or all 3.Good luck.

Kindle uses an Android system but my experience is that it will only accept apps loaded through the Kindle Store. Easy enough go to the kindle store and search for it and try and download the app before you buy.

Very grateful for your tip, R.Jenkins.I too was struggling to download kindle and failed miserably until I read your email on this discussion. It worked great and now I can read my amazon ebooks. This was the deal breaker for me... if I couldn't get kindle then I was going to send my Kyros back. Now I will keep it. Thanks again.

yes, this e-reader has no Wi-Fi connection at all. you have to have access to a computer to load books, music, etc. on the e-reader. I still have mine and it works great!!

Yes, but the connection will bog down your kindle if your not careful with your storage and what your doing. You also have to keep in mind that the kindle wasn't designed to be a net book, but can be formatted to act like one.

Hi Judy,You don't need a WiFi router for the Kindle to work. You can use the cable instead to connect to your computer and download books to your Fire. The WiFi router just makes it so you can do that wirelessly.Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support856-216-8222info@mediabridgeproducts.comTue-Sat 9am to 6pm Eastern

Thanks, R. Jenkins! I've been trying to figure out how to get Kindle for Android on this tablet too, but was having no luck at all....until your posting above. It worked GREAT and now I have it downloaded and I'm finally able to start reading the book I've been dying to get...yippee!

Joy, I just tried to see if I could get the e-books on my older Kindle Paperwhite e-reader to come up and it didn't. That doesn't exactly mean it won't. Best to either call the company or just purchase a laptop that does support it. I know my larger heavier laptop does. Sorry I couldn't of been more help.

First id see if you can download the wi-drive app. And open it up before going and investing in it. If it opens up and it is trying to search for the wi-drive the app should be working just fine. Also u need to download the files via the USB cord that comes with it from you're computer to the drive. Then you can see pictures or documents on your kindle. And from what I've noticed since I own it there's a separate name for it under the wifi setting so you have to switch from the wifi for you internet to the one for the drive in order to see what's on the drive. The plus is that It can be password protected so not just anyway can see what's on it. First id see if you can download the wi-drive app. And open it up before going and investing in it.

If you want your library synced you have to be connected to Internet through wifi. However you can always side load files if you are okay with reading offline, i.e. Transfer those ePub files through PC/Mac

I love my keyboard. I don't think you have to have Bluetooth to use it. It connects to my Kindle Fire through WiFi I think. I have a WiFi router at home and it works great. I never turn on my Bluetooth to use it at all. You'll like this keyboard and the case it comes in. I do.

You can only download books when wifi is available, but once they're downloaded, you can read them without any wifi. :)
