kindle fire, Does it support overdrive for library books, and other Q's

[zumbergc]

Wondering if the kindle fire supports library books overdrive app I have on my iphone.

I have an old nook, and for library books I have to side load the thing, connect it to my pc, and transfer the books over.

Does the kindle fire support the overdrive app? I'm thinking ipad vs kindle fire, but if the kindle doesn't do the direct download I know the ipad can do, that would be a deal breaker for me.

I'm trying to save a little, thinking a refurb wifi only ipad is going to be better suited than the kidle fire?

Anyone have comments on the web browsing? I was looking at the fire in the store, and well the demo mode is frustrating, you really don't get a feel for the device.

What about email, how is that interface compare to the iphone mail app?

TIA

The Fire does use overdrive for library books - can be done connecting directly on the computer and also wireless. Super easy

Sorry I can't help you with any iPhone/iPad questions since we dont have any of those but I use my Fire for everything - email (not an app, I do it on the web browser), watching movies (was just watching Entourage on HBOgo a few minutes ago), I have booked WDW dining ADRs, booked our Southwest flight. Seriously, I use it all the time!

Yes on Overdrive. I use my Fire mostly for games, watching Amazon prime movies/tv, watching Netflix, and some reading. My kids absolutely love it although I keep them locked in a kid's area. I occasionally use mine for email and surfing the web but not a ton. I have a friend though who is like the pp and uses her Fire for everything and she loves it.

I know nothing about the Apple products though. Sorry!
