I have a Kindle Fire HD with micro-HDMI-port. I also have a Laptop (Lenovo) with macro-HDMI-port.

I am going to buy an HDMI data cable having micro to macro HDMI converter. As it's price is relatively higher than the data cable, I want to know first what could I do with it?

Basically, I want to share my laptop screen in my kindle with sound.

  • Is it possible?
  • What about the opposite?
  • If possible then how to decide which device sharing to whom?
  • Is there any extra driver needed?

Thanks in advance.

It won't work.

Both of these ports are HDMI outputs and neither can work as an input.

    @manetsus - There is absolutely no way tomake the Kindle Fire a display for your laptop by connecting it to the HDMI port on the Kindle Fire.

  • There actually are some Lenovo laptops with two HDMI sockets, one for input and one for output.
