    I'm sorry. Will it let you "buy" the free ones then just not download?

    No, no, the problem it's that the first gen Fire app store doesn't give coins for some bloody reason.

    I have a first gen Kindle Fire too :( I'm guessing the reason that it doesn't give coins is so that we'll buy a new Kindle. Bezos is kind of a jerk anyway.

    You should also get back half of your purchase of donuts in amazon coins

    so buy 20$ worth of donuts and get 10$ back in coins buy another 10$ of donuts get back 5 in coins

    **EDIT***

    300 Donuts for 20$ get 10$ back in coins use that 10$ in coins to purchase 132 donuts and get 5$ back in coins use that 5$ in coins to purchase 60

    that's 492 donuts all for free if its done correctly


    HI I'm Jonathan this is my first post but a long time lurker

    I downloaded the amazon app on my note 3, and got the 1000 free coins. I searched for the gta sa and it won't show up. Can anyone help?

    I want to save up these coins for when I find someone to borrow a Kindle fire ie buy one myself.

    I bought all the apps, got the 1000 coins and rightfully deleted the apps :mrgreen:

    None of them interested me but I wanted those coins, dang it!

    I couldn't find that on the amazon app either. So I went to amazon.com and bought it with the coins there. Hope that helps. :)

    I play on my kindle fire and I got the coins, but when I go to purchase the donuts, all that comes up is $19.99 it doesn't give me an option to pick the coins... am I doing something wrong?

    Buy the free apps off of Amazon's site and you'll get the free coins. You won't be able to buy donuts but you'll be able use the coins for other apps. I was able to get the 2300 free coins even though GTA isn't compatible with my kindle.


    OP,
    Thanks for the deal Heads Up!!

    If you have a 1st gen kindle you can't use coins for in app purchases (like donuts).

    I would think it would work like the app store on the iPad. You pick the 19.99 then that amt is taken from your iTunes card if you have one loaded. So, since the coins are loaded, it should take them instead of using your CC. You might want to remove the bank info on your amazon account before just in case.

    How did you buy it using the note 3? Mine says not compatible and won't let me buy

    You can still buy it even if it's not compatible. You just can't install it. I used my Samsung Galaxy S4. :)

    I actually don't have any bank info on there, I use my Amazon Store Card for everything :P I'm sure I'll figure it out, I just don't want to charge $20 for donuts if the coins don't work.

    Oh, I thought you meant a 1st gen kindle like, before the fire came out. I think I got my fire the year it was released so I guess it's 1st gen kindle fire. That stinks.. okay thanks :)

    I'm having a parenting dilemma. Buy ALL donuts or buy SOME donuts AND an app for my kid... it is her kindle, after all...

    Thanks for the tip, OP.
