I have D and D beyond installed on my Samsung phone no problem but when I go to install it onto my Amazon tablet for an easier reading platform it does not come up as a viable option. After a lengthy chat session with the Google app store I found out that they do not support this Amazon tablet, and it sounds like Amazon tablets in general. So I visited Amazon app store and they don't offer D&D Beyond. When I contacted them, I received instructions that there was a setting that would allow an 'outside' app to function. So following those instructions, and going back to Google Play I find that the app will still not give me the option to download or install onto the tablet.
What else can I do? I am paying for a subscription, but want to access it from the tablet.
I have an Amazon Fire tablet myself, which I haven't needed to use for DDB (since we've not done in-person D&D for a while), but it would be cool to have as an option, so I'll be waiting to see if anyone else offers a way.

Any browser should be able to access the mobile version of dndbeyond Considering the known limitations of the app, I'm surprised by anyone that prefers that over the mobile website.
A couple years ago I found a way to sideload DND Byond app to my Fire 8HD. Doing this allowed me to download all apps available in the Google store, including the DNDBeyond app (which was the only reason I went through the process to begin with). Note that I am NOT a technical person, and even I was able to figure it out. I just upgraded to a newer Fire 10.1 tablet so need to go through the process again.
NOTE that I cannot make any claims other than I followed the steps and it worked for me 2+ years ago. I have no idea if it is viable for all types of Kindle devices, or if it is even still functional. Please use your own judgement.
UPDATE: I just followed the steps in the link and it worked flawlessly. I am now able to use the DDB app on my new Kindle Fire HD 10 (13th gen).
So I sideloaded the Google play store. It requires downloading a few things and installing them but it takes 10 minutes, there are a tonne of how to videos etc. A quick Google search and you'll find it. Dnd beyond app runs great on it. I'm now trying to find a way to get beyond20 to work on the tablet.

The Amazon app store and Amazon tablets are not a supported device for the D&D Beyond app at this time

Still not an update on this request?

Is there a plan or talks about DnD Beyond with Amazon Tablet support in the future?
I am able to access the web version on the Silk browser on my Fire Tablet. Workaround?

The App can be useful for accessing books offline.

Any timeline for support for fire tablets? Seems like an area that is severely lacking considering the wide use of the tablets.
Beyond's app is available to Android and Apple devices, including their tablets. As far as I can tell, there are no plans to expand to Amazon devices.

You are welcome!

Have you had any luck with this now? I was thinking of getting a fire tablet specifically for DND beyond 😅.
You can still access D&D Beyond in the web browser, this is what I have resorted to.
