As Kindle Fires are popping up around the US, many of you have been asking whether it
is possible to buy Google eBooks on the
Kindle Fire.  After all, the Kindle Fire is based on Google's Android
operating system, and IndieCommerce has worked with Bluefire to create
the IndieBound Reader app for Android devices.

The answer is that it is in fact possible to run the IndieBound Reader app on the Kindle Fire through a process called sideloading.  Sideloading refers to the practice of installing apps without going through the official app store on a device.

There are many great sideloading walkthroughs for the Kindle Fire online.  Below is a particularly thorough one from Liliputing:

And a YouTube video:

And finally, some threads on Amazon's own forums on the topic:

http://www.amazon.com/forum/kindle?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx1D7SY3BVSESG&cdThread=Tx3V9111SCT2CFM

An APK file (described in the tutorials above) for IndieBound Reader can be downloaded directly from http://www.indiebound.org/reader.

Please note: IndieBound Reader was not specifically developed to
run on the Kindle Fire. However, the app has been tested with good
results on this device.

Also, customers should consult
Amazon's Terms of Service before attempting to sideload apps.  As of
12/22/2011, there was nothing in these Terms of Service precluding this
practice, but users should check in case Amazon's terms have changed.

 

How do I read the Google eBook I bought on...?

• My Android Smartphone/Tablet
• My iPhone/iPad
• My Nook
• My Sony Reader
• Other Dedicated eReader (Kobo, etc.)
• My Computer

Did you know that in 1994 there were more than 120 feminist bookstores in the U.S. and Canada? Today there are 13 remaining and Charis is one of them. Here are some things you can do to support your favorite independent feminist bookstore.

(1) Bring a friend. Bring a friend to our store, a program, an event. Introduce us to more free thinking folks!

(2) Volunteer. Help with everyday tasks, at programs, we always have things that need to be done and love the company. Email charisvolunteers@yahoo.com to find out about volunteer opportunities.

(3) Give gift certificates. What better way to show your love to someone you care than to give them the gift of community?

(4) Make your own wish list up at Charis or online at Indiebound.com. Once you've spent hours listing everything you could ever want from us, just tell your friends and loved ones to trot on down to Charis and ask for your wish list or to look you up on indiebound.com. Hey, you'll get gifts you really love and you can support a good cause.

(5) Ask your professors, your child's teachers, your school, office, or organization to think about buying their books through Charis. They'd be surprised at how easy it is.We are always open to doing a book table at a community event or at a conference or school. Email Sara@charisbooksandmore.com to inquire about book tables in the community.

(6) Educate yourself and others about why buying local and independant helps all of us. Below are just a few reasons from indiebound.com. We're sure you can think of many more.

When you shop at an independently owned business, your entire community benefits:

The Economy

• Spend $100 at a local and $68 of that stays in your community. Spend the same $100 at a national chain, and your community only sees $43.
• Local businesses create higher-paying jobs for our neighbors.
• More of your taxes are reinvested in your community--where they belong.

The Environment

• Buying local means less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint.
• Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money to beautify your community.

The Community

• Local retailers are your friends and neighbors—support them and they’ll support you.
• Local businesses donate to charities at more than twice the rate of national chains.
• More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community.
