By Novak Bozovic / July 3, 2023

Since Amazon Fire (formerly Kindle Fire) tablets use a custom version of Android, you can install ExpressVPN using the Amazon App Store. The entire procedure takes only a few minutes, after which you gain access to every feature ExpressVPN currently offers.

The only requirement is to have an Amazon Fire tablet running FireOS 5.0 or newer (the latest Amazon tablets run FireOS 8). So, go to Settings > Device Options > System Updates and get the latest update you'll see there. Then, go through the procedure explained below.

How to Download and Install ExpressVPN on Amazon Fire Tablet

To install ExpressVPN on your Fire tablet, you need an ExpressVPN subscription and access to Amazon's App Store. These are the steps you need to take:

1. Subscribe to ExpressVPN using your tablet or your computer, suing any Web browser.

2. Now, turn to your Fire tablet. Launch the App Store and activate its search function. Type in "ExpressVPN," and you should see the app offered among the search results.

Tip

If you have an Amazon Prime account and wish to stream content available in a different country, know that your VPN server location must match the country of your Amazon profile. At any moment, you can change your Amazon profile’s country by going to Your Account > Your Content and Devices > Preferences > Country/Region.
