Anyone here using kindle fire to view sec filings?

My browser crashes every time I try to.  I've tried everything amazon said, and even had them send me a new one and it is still doing it.  If anyone has an idea of how to fix it I'd love to hear it.

I don't have it,  but I have played around with it.  Here are two suggestions, if you haven't already tried them.

 

1) Turn off accelerated browsing

2) If that doesn't work, download a different browser - Opera Mini or Dolphin - from the Amazon appstore and try browsing using that.

I use mine all the time to view SEC filings. I use Dolphin Browser HD. To install it, first allow your kindle to side load apps:

 

go to Settings>Devices and set “Allow Installation of Applications” to ON

 

Next download and install Dolphin HD. Get it from:

 

dl.apktops.com/app/201204/Dolphin_Browser_HD_8.0.1.apk

 

If I ever run into any problems, I download the filing and use ezPDF Reader from the Amazon Market. It's well worth $3:

Hope this helps!

Please excuse my ignorance, but how does the pdf reader work?  The sec files are html.  Do you need another computer to convert?  Do the tables and financial statements come out looking alright?
