Getting Started with your TouchPad – UK Kindle App

Live in the UK?? Got a Touchpad?? Notice the Kindle app is missing?? Follow my step-bt-step to get Kindla Beta on the Touchpad.

So a lot of you may be coming to WebOS for the first time, so welcome! 

Now, at time of writing the UK app catalog still doesn’t have a Kindle app but the USA does fortunately!  So the question is how do we get this killer app on to our UK TouchPads? This is where the beauty of the homebrew community comes in!

1. First you need to download the Kindle ipk - try http://www.uploadstation.com/file/588bNfZ/
2. Next you need to grab a copy of WebOS Quick install from here
3. Enable dev mode on your touchpad by going to the ‘Just Type’ Search bar and typing in this:upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart 
4. Launch WebOS Quick Install and make sure you install the ‘novacom’ drivers (this lets quickinstall talk to your TouchPad)
5. In Quick Install, click the '+' on the right side, then select the Kindle ipk.
6. Click Install
7. Reboot the Touchpad & Enjoy :)

You now have Kindle!
