I have a first gen Kindle Fire. I&#x27;d use it, except it requires a US credit card for a bunch of app store stuff and I can&#x27;t be bothered to go through the faff of getting a US credit card.<p>There&#x27;s the possibility of rooting it, which I&#x27;m looking into.<p>I think making it easy for users to root &#x2F; reuse devices would help drive sales to new devices by providing a more vibrant second user market.
