Hello!
So I have Scrivener on Windows but now I want to use it on my tablet. Can i use this app on an Amazon Fire Tablet 8 (12th gen)? And if so, what platform would I have to use (windows or ios)?
No. The Fire uses a fork of Android and there is no Android app.
Look for a second hand Windows tablet if you want tablet portability.

Or an iPad. The iOS/iPadOS version of Scrivener is excellent.

I figured because he already has a Windows license a Win tablet is the easiest option.
Note: I’m not certain if Scrivener will run on ARM Windows tablets - I do have it running on Win under Parallels on a MacBook M2 Max.
There’s your answer. Parallels runs the ARM version of Windows. And this Windows runs x86 and x64 programs on “Prism” (their equivalent of Apple’s “Rosetta”).

Yes, I know that is the theory, but I’ve heard of issues with some apps not running directly that manage to run under Parallels.
I wouldn’t want to be Microsoft’s PR team when that happens.
