Can anybody modify the program offered by Kindle to have the reader on your Windows computer to be able to work on the HD2?
I have Kindle books from when I had their iPhone app... and I want to use them on my HD2.... I would use Barnes and Noble but they are a terrible company, and they only offer one of the books out of the ones I have already purchased from Kindle...
Moved as not software release.
So I am a gamer, of all sorts, and I like using tech to my advantage in gaming. Until now I had to mainly use a laptop, as my a500 was not quite up to the task of doing everything I need.
With the Note it is definitely a great deal better. Even been able to annotate character sheets.
So, with so many free and paid gaming apps out there, I was wondering if anyone had their favorites, suggestions, or comments, or anything at all to say about gaming apps.
For me, dicebox, pdf readers (iannotate, ezpdf, repligo, and others), and graph things like antipaper and lecture notes, and other dnd apps. My big thing is for reading pdf books and character sheets.
EDIT: Keep in mind, I am, as Magnesus pointed out, talking about tabletop games. Like DnD, Cthulhu, Marvel, Conan, GURPS, munchkin, and others.
There are many apps out there that are on the market for use, but I am curious who has found a good specific app or combo of apps to use.
If you like five card video poker, you should check out my app I must admit , the tablet makes it look real nice. Let me know what you think.

I click thank you by accident. What OP wants is not card games but tablettop RPG if I understood correctly.
for gaming, IMO the best thing you can do is root your note so you can use the ps3 controller with the siaxis app. then you can run all the various emulators and play all your favorite old games for NES, sega, etc perfectly.

He is talking about tabletop RPG like DnD.
First of all, hi... im new here, and new to android and more specifically nvidia shield (just got last night). Is there some comprehensive guide to setting up all the best emulators and controller mappings for them for my shield? and do i need to root it or whatever like i see people talking about?
First thing I would do is download retroarch. That contains all the most popular emulators and it is free. In fact the developer is very much against people charging for emulators and doesn't use ads or anything. The buttons on the shield are automatically mapped in retroarch as well.

You do not need root. Just download it from the play store grab a few of your favorite roms and play.
Retroarch calls each emulator a "core" so if you want to play SNES (maybe don't use the BSNES core or whatever it is called. It might be more buggy than SNES 9x or whatever the other one is called) you would load up the SNES core in retroarch and then choose your rom.
If I were you, I'd root your shield. That way you can write to your external SD card and change the minimum CPU frequency while running emulators.

The SHIELD is my first tablet I've enjoyed drawing with using the stylus. I do a lot of drawing and I also do graphic art on my PC and Mac. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations or know of any Apps that can turn the tablet into a Wacom style drawing tablet that I can use with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop? I'm looking around myself and I've found a few, but I wouldn't mind some second opinions
Has anyone been able to set this up properly? I added PCSX2 as a non-steam game. When i load steam on my pc it works in that it launches pcsx2 properly and i can use the mouse to launch any game, but when i launch game streaming from the nvidia shield and try to launch pcsx2 it never load properly and just crashes. Is this an issue with my gpu not being powerful enough? I have a intel core i5-4600k CPU and geforce gtx 650 card. Any help would be appreciated.
I stream dolphin flawlessly. I would do it all through the Nvidia Experience software though. Just go in to Experience, then SHIELD tab and add the exe manually. Then access it from Gamestream in the Nvidia software on the SHIELD. That sounds about right but I'm posting this from work. If it's any different I'll update this later.
Basically you're streaming the emulator without adding Steam to the equation. Works for pretty much anything I've tried so far and I forget or getting this muddled... but it might enable you to add PCSX2 directly to the launcher home screen.
You really don't have to even add individual games themselves. I just add remote desktop as an application, then open programs within that session without any issues, including any emulators, MMO clients, web browsers, even virtual machines running on that desktop. It's great. Full controller support. I run a 4K main display and this will even fit that to the Shield Portable's display without losing anything in the process. This really is in my opinion, the best way to use the Shield Portable.
Follow these instructions:
