When it comes to Kindle e-readers, however, stick with simple reading with these devices, which is what they are designed to accomplish. But it’s advisable to download an anti-malware security app first. If you have some technical know-how, you can give it a go. But this isn’t something the average person will want to try. These can technically work with Google Play store as well through a workaround that involves downloading and installing APK files. If you’re looking for a Kindle device that can access apps, any Kindle Fire device running Fire OS 5.3.1.1 or later comes with the Amazon App Store.

But even that Kindle does not afford access to apps, though you can browse the web. The highest-end model in the Kindle line is the Kindle Scribe, which combines both an e-reader and a digital notebook for composing journal entries, taking notes, making annotations, accessing and editing PDFs, and more. Some premium models, like the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (11th Gen), include Wi-Fi access built-in so you can surf the web and enjoy assistive features while reading, like being able to look up words and passages, get definitions, and more.
