Kindle Fire VPN - Access Amazon Prime with Kindle Fire

Kindle Fire at a glance

The Kindle Fire is a tablet computer version of Amazon’s Kindle e-book reader. Announced in September 2011, the Kindle Fire has a 7″ Gorilla Glass multi-touch display with IPS technology and runs a forked version of Google’s Android operating system with many new and amazing features.

And you bought Kindle Fire to keep you entertained while being abroad, right?

However, thanks to the forked version of Android, you can’t use VPN at all. It’s limited when it comes to connectivity, thus it’s not working very well outside the US. It’s rather crippled. When I found out that, I was very desperate. Till my friend told me I need to use a VPN service and a router (or to share PC’s Internet connection with the Kindle) in order to access Amazon’s premium features.

Doubtfully accepting his solution I was amazed. It was so simple. Here’s what you need to do. Amazon stripped down basic VPN connectivity features, but you will only need these two things:

To get yourself a reliable VPN account such as HideMyAss, and
To properly configure your router for VPN or to share PC’s connection (in which case you won’t need a router)

Of course, later on you may create an Amazon account. Check out the links above to learn more about the router you will need, and to get yourself a Kindle Fire VPN account at HideMyAss.
