It takes a few extra steps to get the Freading application on the Kindle Fire, but once it is set up,most users report that it is easy to use.
- Go to Settings on the Kindle Fire and click on "device”.
- Turn on the switch for allowing unknown applications.
- Go to the browser and type m.getjar.com. You may be prompted to install the GetJar app. After you find the GetJar app, tap to download it to your Kindle Fire.
- Next, search for and download the Freading app.
- The Freading app will now show up on the homepage of the Fire.
The first time you turn the Kindle off after the install, you may need to press the sync/refresh button, which is in the first menu after pressing the settings gear icon.
Use Freading through the browser (go back to your library's Freading site) and download into the Freading app, or from within the app itself by tapping the 'store' icon.
Note: If the popup does not appear automatically for the GetJar app when you first visit the website (m.getjar.com) you can manually download it by clicking any of the apps on the screen. After this, proceed with step 5.
