Amazonian Torture Device

Amazon Kindles are like... fine if you're broke & desperate. Yeah, they got screens & yeah, they're cheap AF. But heads up: Amazon made some truly bafflin' choices that'll wreck your gig. You can snag it on your Amazon Kindle from the Amazon Appstore.

It's Android, Duh

Amazon Kindle Fire devices are Android tablets so congrats, you're gettin' the full Android experience—minus all the good stuff. Like, zero push notifications & zero Google Play Services access. Translation: no Google Cast. ZOMG, how will you live?!

Device Support

So yeah, OnSong technically runs on newer Amazon Kindle devices. But lemme be real: they're rockin' like 25% the juice of an iPad from the same era. We've squeezed every last drop of performance outta these lil' budget boxes, but... y'know... you get what you pay for, amirite?

Hardware Limitations

Amazon Kindles ship with like, just USB 2.0 for chargin'—it's basically a potato port. No external video, no external audio, zilch. MIDI over wires? Lolol nope. Wireless-only, baby. Wanna beam stuff to your smart TV? OnSong'll do it with Amazon Kindle Fire & other Smart TVs to splash lyrics & charts all over. But real talk: Kindles are built for Netflix bingin', not shreddin' stages. Don't expect iPad energy here. BUT, they're sittin' pretty around the $100 mark, so there's that. 🤷
