Kindle on the xoom!

[valleysboy]

I just discovered that I can connect my kindle to the xoom via an otg cable, and it shows up as a usb drive. I can access all of my books and music! Awesome!

Now I've just got to figure out why I'd want to?!

Suggestions on a postcard please...

Pretty brilliant discovery though, just in case the kindle app crashes

Download the free Kindle app and your Xoom is now also a Kindle.

File transfer is about the only use I can think of off the top of my head. It's cool that it works though.

I've had the kindle app on the xoom for a while, but your suggestion made me wonder if I could use the otg conection to synchronise the books across the two machines - no joy though. So far I can't find any way of opening a book from the kindle in the kindle app. On thebright side, I can open them in my favorite xoom ebook reader (cool reader), so that's a plus.

Over the years I've got into the habit of keeping a small keepass database containing emergency info (e.g. who to phone if i get my credit card stolen) on a usb stick. I think I'll try storing one one my kindle, together with the keepass apk, and perhaps the keepass portable pc app, so I'll have another backup. Belt & Braces !

You can't open them "remotely" in the app., but you can download them from Amazon via the app. and read them just fine.

This presumes you use the same acct. to log onto Amazon on your real Kindle and the Xoom kindle app.

Yes, IF you've purchased them from Amazon. But any sideloaded books won't be visible/available, and I was hoping to get access to these via the otg connection.
