Finally! Amazon releases the Kindle application. Thank you Amazon!
Unfortunately with the default policies enforced by a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) 5.0 I was unable to open the application.
I have created directions for fixing the issue here: BlackBerry 5.0 Applications Not Working | Permissions Issues
Few other disappointing things on the Kindle application for BlackBerry:
- Lack of support for the BlackBerry Storm 1 or 2. It will only go portrait, won’t turn to landscape view. | iPhone version has this
- No inverted colors (white text on black), Blackberries have really bad brightness controls, trying to read a book in the dark burns your eyeballs out when the background is white and the brightness is set too high. It also wastes the battery. | iPhone version has this
Other than that it does work as advertised. Amazon if you are out there please make a revision with these two basic and simple things in it. While you are at it please add inverted colors to the desktop version too. Please?
I’m running version 6.0. What’s the fix for that?
Not sure your problem but 6.0 is support out of the gate. Just go to http://www.amazon.com/kindlebb on your blackberry for client. If there is a BES issue stopping you from working it those directions should work for 6x as well. Hope that helps!
