Tap on the Appstore icon and you’ll have the app store launch right up:Īssuming I can resist Candy Crush Saga, Game of War: Fire Age, and Slotomania Casino, we can proceed. That’s what you want, the Kindle Appstore. Here’s my main screen with all the game and program app icons shown. The actual interface within the program is completely identical once you’re in the program! Instead, Amazon has its own Kindle version of the program and that’s where you’ll want to go instead.

The Fire HD runs a sort of hybrid Android + Kindle operating system and so there aren’t standard Android applications like Google Play, which is where you normally would look for the app update feature. Note: Currently the 8-inch Fire HD is $79 including shipping. And these are great for kids too when you add a kid-proof case for a few dollars. Much more than just an eInk Kindle, that’s for sure, and for just a few dollars more. They’re great little devices and a really quite inexpensive way to end up with a big, bright, color Android tablet, with all the extra layers of Amazon goodness on top. Congrats on the savvy move of getting a Kindle Fire HD from Amazon.
