Re the Amazon Fire 8: Dumb ass question maybe but my Czech friend wants to know could she download films from czech torrent site http://ulozto.cz on this and then watch them? She was thinking of getting a cheap laptop or chromebook but obviously this is much cheaper. It's the only thing she wants it for.
Install VLC application which is a great media player. Then transfer the movie files to the Fire tablet. Then watch them using VLC.
