I've had a search and can't seem to find anything worth using, TV Guide sounded good but only featured US listings. Does anyone know of a decent TV listings application which has UK TV listings?
I use the old PTVL (Pocket TV Listing) with data downloaded with XMLTV and converted into PTVL format via its own XML converting tool
I've downloaded ebooks and can open it with the Kindle Reader but I just can't find the file? Anyone know where they may be located?

Your 3rd party (*see note) books can be stored on device under sdcard/kindle in the unencrypted mobi format, and opened via Kindle App. If you have books in other formats (pdf, epub), or in sizes larger than 50MB, you can convert them to mobi under 50MB using Calibre or similar program.
*Note: Third party books are books you did *not* purchase via Amazon. Amazon purchased books are encrypted mobi and just about worthless for reading on any other device or application (with few exceptions).
Kindle book downloads are encrypted mobi and not available to open outside the Kindle application. On a PC you can upload unencrypted mobi files to your amazon account and share to Kindle devices (or through Kindle application on Android devices). Also, the SendToKindle app is available from Amazon and installed on Windows at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Amazon\SendToKindle\SendToKindle.exe" (Windows 7 x64). Files above 50MB do not upload, so reduce the size using Calibre. Once these files are uploaded, you can web manage distributing these books.
Not all Calibre book conversions give 100% complete formatting like image layout and bookmarks, so you may not get perfect results. Good luck

I have downloaded books to my Nexus 7 but when I look in sdcard/Kindle/acw there is nothing there. I can't find them anywhere. and yet I can open with the Kindle App. I usually load my files to Calibre from my Kindle then convert them to epub and place in dropbox then read with Moon+ reader. I was hoping to use the Nexus & bypass the Kindle. I just can't believe that I can't find them?

UPDATE #2:
If you are root on the device, you can look under /data/data/com.amazon.kindle/* (the kindle application folder) for application files. Also look under sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files/*_EBOK.prc and sdcard/kindle/*_PDOC.prc for the downloaded files. The Amazon purchased, downloaded files have random names and are encrypted mobi. I have not tried to analyze the format of encrypted mobi. The Kindle app on Android looks under these folders (effectively app local storage, and sdcard storage). Calibre cannot convert encrypted mobi (except with special plugin). If you drop unencrypted mobi in the sdcard/kindle they can be viewed in the Kindle app.
You say you usually load files from Kindle into Calibre. I am surprised if these are Amazon purchased books, and unencrypted mobi. But, should be possible with 3rd party books (unencrypted mobi) uploaded to Amazon and downloaded to Kindle/Kindle app.
I did not think transferring Amazon purchased and downloaded books is possible via the Kindle, if so, its news to me. Old versions of PC Kindle (v1.x with date-time restriction) will download unencrypted mobi kindle books (in some cases), but as far as I was aware all new versions of PC Kindle and Kindle device (not 100% sure) download encrypted mobi for Amazon purchased books.
Good luck.
U can convert with calibre and some add ons . Google it there is a tutorial available. I did it.

Downloaded kindle books are stored here...
sdcard0 > Android > data> com.amazon.kindle > files
They're PRC files and they have numeric names instead of titles, so it's difficult to tell which is which, but the date/time stamp should help.
Hi guys,
Would anyone be able to rip me a get me a copy of the
Fibbage.apk (Fibbage Hilarious Bluffing Party on Amazon app store) as its not available on device other than the fire tv which is unavailable in my location.
Thanks.
I'm on a Shield myself and unfortunately there is no UKTV Play and Audible native app for Android TV or the Shield.
Would anyone with a Fire TV stick be able to extract the APKs for the two apps?
UKTV Play: https://www.amazon.co.uk/UKTV-Play-Taskmaster-Richardson-Ultimate/dp/B00T85MGKA
Audible for FireTV: https://www.amazon.com/Audible-Inc-for-Fire-TV/dp/B01G4XZE3O
My brother got a hold of them.
For anyone that wants the apks.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/y996gzdt3csxr02/UKTV_Play_Watch_Free_TV_On_Demand.apk/file
The Audible apk wont install on the shield. I'm getting the following error:
Package com.audible.application.firetv requires unavailable shared library com.amazon.client.metrics.api; failing!
The UKTV Player installs but will close after a couple of seconds. Using a cloner tool and removing Google services and adding compatibility layers fixes that it seems.
The Adult Swim app from the Fire TV seems to work on my Android TV except that it will lock you out after 15 seconds because it can't find the Amazon Appstore. Is there any way to patch the apk to remove this check?
Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

I sideloaded the Amazon Appstore and signed in. The app mostly works except for the important part: playing TV shows.
It just circles. I ripped this from an old rooted Fire TV 1. Perhaps there is a newer APK on newer Fire TVs? Another possibility is this apk requires other libraries to be installed for it to work?
You might be able to remove the Amazon App Store dependency with something like Lucky Patcher, but that would just let you open the app, the video streams probably require some sort of authentication tied to an Amazon account.
The Amazon App Store for Android is meant for mobile devices and mobile apps, and I'm assuming the Adult Swim app is only available for FireTV.
This is the latest version
Thank you. I checked the SHA1 of your apk and mine and it's the same as mine.
