Does installling Google play on a kindle invalidate the warranty?

Hi folks,

As you all know the Kindle tablet comes without google play, but easy enough to install it, without rooting just a matter of installing a few apps downloaded on the kindle itself.

Just wondering though does Amazon consider this as voiding your warranty, since the kindle does have a setting to install apps from unknown sources, and in effect that is all you are really doing.

Of course they don't like it, and I don't intend to ask them, but what do you think?

Thanks.

I would be gobsmacked if that were the case

I've done it on mine - they're cheap as chips these days so hang the warranty.

Well just got mine, is there any easy way other than parental controls to disable accidently clicking, on a sign up, or buy now ad?

Parental controls seem to more or less disable everything, including things you want to do

Thanks

You can turn off in-app purchasing from your Amazon account which may help.

No. Provided you do not root the device, you're within warranty.
