User blog:Soosieloo/kindle fire users, 1st generation vs 2nd generation versions

Just a quick note to add information to kindle users, info that I was unaware of and frankly am very disappointed in. I couldn't for the life of me understand why my sister was able to get apps on her new kindle fire (Tribez, prehistoric park for ex) and I couldn't. It seems that she has a 2nd generation which is more supported by developers.

In fact, when I talked to a kindle rep they said it can only be fixed by buying a whole new kindle. Now why on earth would I buy another kindle with every expectation in a year THAT will be obsolete and they will make us buy the newest version??

Its only a year old and obsolete. I can not believe that kindle would treat its customers that way.

I am saving my money to get an Ipad. Totally tired of this kindle and all its problems.

to see your version check under settings, device, version number.

1st generation is: 6.3.2

2nd generation is: 10.3.0

It may be why we cant get updates in TV and a reason for all my force closing and game glitches.
