5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, You CAN have the ZINIO app on your new Kindle Fire, but.... December 12, 2011

By TSKJR

You can't download it directly from the Amazon app. store....yet. So what you have to do is go to the ZINIO website on your FIRE - NOT ON YOUR COMPUTER. Once at the Zinio website. In the upper right hand corner, locate the HELP tab. Click on the HELP tab to find directions for downloading and installing the app to/on your FIRE. From here on it's pretty easy. I have had a ZINIO account for over a year, and have been reading the five magazines I subscribe to on my laptop. I really like ZINIO! And I like the Kindle Fire app even more than the one on my laptop! Once I installed the app on my Fire, all of my subscriptions were made available. Yes, the font size is small on the FIRE, but I think that it is sharper than on my laptop. And the photos in mags such as NatGeo and Smithsonian are "eye candy!" I agree with another reviewer that Amazon will probably make a larger version of the FIRE in the future, but this app is more than adequate until then. I predict that this will be my most-used app on the FIRE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zinio App Works on Kindle Fire!!!!! November 15, 2011

By VPBC2008

I don't know why I cannot get this app from the Kindle Fire App Store.

I bought the Kindle Fire device primarily because the price was good and wanted to read magazines on it.

After going to Zinio site, I successfully downloaded the Zinio App on Kindle Fire Device by using the link on zinio.com/help page.

I already have an Android phone. So, I know that you can go to settings menu to enable app installs from unknown sources.

Zinio app rocks so far!!!
