Do Amazon Kindle Fire HD tablets work with SD cards?

The answer is: unfortunately no. If you buy the cheapest version with 8 GB of storage, the Amazon Kindle Fire HD tablet cannot be expanded via an SD memory card because there is no SD card slot for it.

• The good news is that eBooks are usually plain text files that take up very little space. On average about five to ten MB.
• However, you should be careful when installing photos, films or apps. These can quickly eat up your available storage space.
• The Kindle Paperwhite cannot be expanded with SD cards either.
• A good alternative to an SD card are cloud storage services, which are offered directly by Amazon, among others.
