Installing the Libro.fm App on a Kindle Fire* device

Sorry Kindle users! Amazon has blocked our app from their App Store for Kindle devices. However, if you want to show them who’s boss, we’ve created a workaround to allow you to install the Libro.fm app on your Kindle Fire. Other Android devices can still install Libro.fm via Google Play (recommended) or Amazon’s App Store.

You’ll need to enable installation from "unknown sources" briefly to install the Libro.fm app. This sounds scary at first, but we’ve outlined the steps in detail below to help. Always feel free to contact us at hello@libro.fm if you run into any trouble.

*This process can only be used with Kindle Fire devices. It is not possible to listen to Libro.fm audiobooks on other Kindle models (like the Paperwhite or Oasis).
