In a somewhat surprising move, Amazon is allowing all Android tablet owners to team up and co-operate with Fire TV gamers in Sev Zero, the retail giant’s exclusive game. The official companion app, which was previously available on to Kindle Fire HDX owners, can now be downloaded through Google Play.
Amazon has slashed $130 off its 32GB 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HDX for today only, bringing its price tag down from $429 to just $299 with special offers. The tasty discount, which makes the 32GB device $20 cheaper than the 16GB model, appears to be available only to customers based in the U.S. at this time.
Amazon’s Android-powered Fire TV was making headlines over the weekend after becoming the first and only device to offer the new Flappy Birds Family game, and to ensure it doesn’t slip out of the limelight, the retail giant just rolled out a bunch of new live streaming apps — including MLB.tv, Animal Planet Live, and Watch Disney.
The Amazon Appstore might not have as many apps as Google Play, but it certainly offers up better deals. Take the latest giveaway, for example — it consists of 30 apps and games worth over $100, including big-name titles like Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, Docs To Go Premium, and Instapaper.
Oyster, the all-you-can-read e-book subscription service that finally made its debut on Android earlier this month, is now even more accessible. From today, Oyster users can enjoy titles in a web browser on almost any device — including your Mac or PC.
