Repost: Refurbished Kindle Fires back in the Amazon Gold Box. - Dr.Vermin May 2, 10:08 28
- does the Nook app run on the Fire? - spamlet May 2, 10:18 4
  - Is it in the Amazon App Store? That's the only way to get apps onto the Kindle Fire unless you jailbreak it. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) May 2, 10:24 1

        How did that get on there? *blocks Netflix app* -- nm - Amazon streaming May 2, 10:29
