Once you’ve selected an appropriate SD card, Amazon gives you a lot of control over how to use it with a Fire tablet.

If you get a notification on your Fire tablet saying the inserted SD card isn't supported or is faulty, you probably need to format it. This is simple to do directly from your Amazon Fire tablet.

That way, as Pocket-Lint stated you can install apps and run them right from the microSD card itself, just as it is with apps that you install within the tablet’s native memory.

Moving apps to your SD card makes your Fire tablet slower. As we covered in detail, even the fastest microSD cards are slower than the internal storage used by modern phones and tablets.

In this guide we’ll explain how to install or move Android apps to an SD card on your smartphone or tablet. Those with older devices are used to running out of space.
