How to install Kindle on a UK TouchPad
Rating: Beating the non-US block on a webOS device
It’s just like Google’s Music beta service which the search engine company is determined to restrict to US citizens only. For some reason Amazon in its infinite wisdom has decided not to allow non-US citizens to use the Kindle app on webOS devices. This seems to be despite the fact that the iOS and Android versions of the Kindle app are global. So GoMo News had to search for a way to beat this blocker. And thanks to a posting on Amazon’s own Kindle forum here, we’ve discovered a solution. This solution will cover installing other webOS apps which for some reason aren’t available via the HP App Catalog. It assumes you’re using a Windows based PC to install apps onto a webOS device.One of the casualties of this particular exercise will probably be software you originally installed for a Nokia handset.
That’s because apps designed to work with webOS on your PC are Java based.
So in our case the Nokia Ovi suite application installer attempted to launch itself every time we tried to install a Java app. You’ll probably have to remove it to carry on.
