Well, I'm not sure. I'm using Kindle Fire, which is Android-based, and in the Kindle app store it says the Kindle version is now 0.9.0 but I can't get my version to update. :\

EDIT: I had to uninstall completely and re-instll and now it's updated on my Kindle. So if they have the update on Kindle I think it's most likely out for regular Android.

OK, I'm going to give this a spin. All I ask is for it to not glitch out like it was for me with the previous Kindle version...please..

Yea, I have it on the Kindle Fire as well, and I had to do the same thing you did. Funny, I thought that the game would automatically update on the Kindle.

In the village I'm at I found 5 ink sacs in the blacksmiith's chest. This seems to be the only way they made it possible to make black dye in 0.9.0 in survival.

I suppose it's better than nothing.

Sorry to complain, I dont want to but its come to the time where there is nothing else I can do, Minecraft pe 0.9.0 has EXTREME lag and freezing issues not to mention the EXTREME FRAGILE multiplayer, it is not acceptable to leave the game like this, if I could I would change my game back to 0.8.0 but unfortunatly I have gotten the update and cant reverse this, all I want to do is play with another player and have fun exploring caves, I am a android/amazon kindle user and my wifi and broadband signal is the best it can be! Minecraft ejects me and freezes and uses ALL my 100% battery to 0 in a mere 3 hours! This is outragous I would rather wait a little bit than this to happen, also one last complaint my other person who was on my server joined by wifi world couldnt go to a certain amount of the world, it was like the sky was in front of him and he died when he went close to it, this didnt happen in 0.8.0. Im very sorry to complain but all I want is Minecraft PE to be stable!

Please if your a mojang Minecraft PE worker HELP ME!

Oh and also If you have these problems please tell me!

Yes, I'm having problems with bad lag, freezing and fast battery drain on my Kindle too (I haven't tried multiplayer so I don't know about that). I don't know what they could/would do about it. They didn't really design this update for Kindle--Kindle wasn't really designed for mobile gaming and so our version is kind of an afterthought. So I suspect if anyone at Mojang had any suggestions it'd be "get an iPad". :\

No. I have an iPad Mini and am having the same problems.

Yes, but Beta wasn't available for Kindle and perhaps few other devices. We had to wait for the official release.

Right, I was replying to a few other people saying that this isn't new and it's been around for over a month. I was trying to tell them that was Beta, this is the official release which goes all on devices supporting Minecraft.
