YES - BUT - I have just purchased a Surface Go and intended to use it as my e-reader. All great except the Kindle app works well with some glitches. I do not have the attached keyboard for the Go which creates at least one problem yet to be overcome. The create new collection command works fine but when you tap in the "Untitled Collection" window it highlights for editing but no 'on-board' keyboard pops up so there is no way to enter a new title for the collection. - - UNLESS you have purchased the attachable keyboard?????? The same applies for editing collections already named and imported from another device. Somewhere along the way, the Kindle app developers will catch up.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.So technically yes. You will need to do the free upgrade to windows 10 pro though. The surface comes with windows S pre-installed; This prevents you from downloading applications that are not in the windows store. Luckily, after you upgrade to the Pro Version (again, the surface device comes with a free upgrade). The Kindle app for PC is found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GZSM7D8A85WKPYYD
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.To echo what the community has said, you should be able to successfully download the Kindle App from the Amazon store. It is possible you may need to make the switch out of Windows 10 in S mode, which you can easily do by following these instructions: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4456067/windows-10-switch-out-of-s-mode.
