Cutting the long story short, Kindle app is not available in Google Play Store (Android Marketplace) when you access the Store from Singapore. But there's an easy way out. Follow these simple steps:
1. Download the app (.apk file) to your computer from the following page:
Download Kindle for Android
Note: I couldn't access that page directly from the phone.
2. Transfer this file to your Android device. I transferred the file via Bluetooth.
3. Install the app and enjoy reading on Kindle.
Just for your information, I installed the app on my Samsung Galaxy S3, and so far it has been working well. Let me know your experience.
Dear Harwinder Bhai, Thanks a lot for sharing this.It helped me installing Kindle on Samsung Galaxy advance.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Rohit. Glad to hear it worked for you. I have been using it on my phone for more than a month, and it has been working really well.
DeleteThank you for the guide! Happily reading on on my S3 now :)

DeleteGlad to hear that. S3 indeed provides wonderful reading experience. I use it to read books on the Kindle app, during my commute to/from work.
Enjoy :)
Hi Harwinder, I chance upon your blog, and I'm so happy to be able to get the Kindle App on my Samsung Note in Singapore! It works beautifully. Thanks so very much for sharing these valuable know-hows to a person like me who is not techno savvy! :)
DeleteThank you for the great tip! Was able to install Kindle app on my Galaxy Note II in Kuwait. Just needed to temporary "Allow installation of non-Market apps" in the settings after downloading and running the installation file and all worked out great!
ReplyDeleteSorry, where is the website to download the file ?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!! Thanks so much :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Finally got it installed on my Note II LTE.
ReplyDeleteExcellent information! Thank you very very much! :)
ReplyDeleteI've downloaded the app to my laptop, but it won't send via bluetooth to my S3 for some reason.
ReplyDeleteBluetooth is enabled on both devices and the laptop has "found" the S3 when searching for conections in the area.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much for your tip! Excellent information!
ReplyDeleteIve downloaded the kindle. Thanks for the info. But how do i add titles? Cos it states "Titles not available in youtr country."
ReplyDeleteHi there, I followed your advise and was able to install the Kindle app on my S2. But when i opened my book, it prompts "Invalid item. Go to Archived Items to download it again." But there is nothing on the Archive section. Please help. Thank you
ReplyDeleteThank you. I wasn't able to download via Bluetooth. Instead, I emailed it to myself and opened the file on my S3.
ReplyDeleteHi... Not able to download. Amazon/ Google Play wont let me download any more. They ask me to install directly. To install directly, you have to sign in and once you sign in, it says your Samsung P3100 is not compatible.
ReplyDeleteHuh!! utterly frustrating. Any one please help... atleast you can mail me the installer at miloon2012@gmail.com
Thank you was sad as couldn't access my books when changing from iphone to galaxy but now I can!!
ReplyDeleteIf you guys have dropbox, you can always copy the installer from desktop dropbox and open the file from your dropbox app in your phone... :)
ReplyDeleteWorked. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteonce i download the app, i cannot find any books on the store.. anyone facing this issue??
ReplyDeleteHow are you trying to search for books. You need to purchase the books from Amazon and push them to your device AFAIK. Let me know whether that works.
DeleteThanks! It works well on my Samsung Note 3 as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSame issue here.....Managed to download app but no books.…

DeleteI don't usually comment, but you totally rock.
ReplyDeleteI have tons of my kindle books on my ipad, but I watned to read it on my phone too, especially when I'm out and abt without my ipad.
Thanks much
How do I push books to my device? Also, my default account is amazon.com, but the login for the app is amazon.co.uk. Does that mean that my purchases must be from amazon.co.uk then?
ReplyDeleteHi, Thanks for the hack. But when i click on the hyperlink to download the app on my computer, all I get is a grayed out screen. Is there something wrong?
ReplyDeleteThis probably came a bit late, did you accept third party installation in SETTINGS?
DeleteI think I did accept the third party installation setting.
