    The mobile apps only are only supported on Kindle Fire devices. The Paperwhite is an e-reader (i.e. not a tablet) and cannot run apps. It can run Active Content which can be thought of as an app, but is very different, and not something that Dropbox supports.

I used to be able to do this by navigating to the (old) web version of dropbox and downloading from my Paperwhite's "experimental" browser. Since Dropbox transitioned to dynamic web, I've been unable to -- it doesn't render correctly.

 

Is there a way we can access a flat HTML version of Dropbox so I can make this happen again?

    I canceled my TB plan, too. I have no idea what cloud services earn their money with. They have only made my life worse, by preventing devices from transfering data outside of using clouds more and more. When you could use them, they seem never helpful. Dropbox is another example. The whole thing is a trick in my opinion. Once you get behind it's a trick, you try to avoid clouds at all costs.
