Take notes on Kindle Fire (Kindle Fire HD / Google Nexus 7 / Nook HD) using free InkPad app

Sometimes we need to take notes on our tablets, kindle Fire HD, Nexus 7 or other titles. This is especially useful for college students. Here I would recommend a free note-taking app, InkPad, for Android tablets.


This free app is available in amazon app store as well as Google's Android Market. Or you can follow me to download this app through Kindle Fire's built-in browser.

Turn on "Allow Installation of Applications" on Kindle Fire. Tap the upper right corner on home screen. Select "More …" -> "Device". Scroll down to "Allow Installation of Applications" and tap "ON".
