MobileWorx Offline with Amazon Kindle Fire HD

By Kyle Adamo, Windmill Software

Sometimes you don't have Wifi everywhere and it's important to still be able to access your MobileWorx data even when you are offline. You can do this with your Kindle Fire HD, with a few steps to get set up.

This post looks at the Amazon Kindle Fire HD running version 7.2.1 of the operating system. In this version, Amazon's default browser - Silk - doesn't seem to support the storage of data offline correctly.

Get Google Chrome

We can overcome this by downloading and installing Google Chrome. Amazon has made this step somewhat awkward by hiding the default Google Play Store. Here's some videos on how to get google Chrome downloaded and installed on your Kindle.

Install Chrome

There are two different options to get Chrome installed. 

Option 1: Download the file, install File Manager app to open downloaded file.

Option 2: Download the file to your desktop computer, then email it to yourself at a web-based email address, then open the email and attachment on your Kindle.

Now that Chrome is installed, the video below will show you all you need to know to go offline with your Kindle Fire HD.

    We've just tested this on the Kindle Fire (not the fire HD) and the exact same steps will work to setup that device with Chrome.
