Goodness, my understanding was that the Kindle ran a neutered version of Android, where you cannot access the Google Play store, and consequently, cannot install apps like Google Maps, and other useful apps. I know I have visited the Amazon Kindle store and cannot find many of the Android apps I run on my LG phone. I could be mistaken.

Regular readers will know, but neither of these tablets have any Google services on-board. Amazon has a budding app store for any Android device, and the apps offered for the new Kindles are fully optimized and vetted for proper performance, but the quantity, and sometimes quality, pales when compared to Google Play.

If you're looking for a "regular" Android tablet, with full access to all of Google's services and apps, you should look elsewhere. If you're entrenched in the Amazon world of books, movies, music and apps, you're in for a treat.

A lot of discussion has been about "sideloading" Google Apps onto a Kindle, maybe there is some distintion between "Google apps" and Android apps I failed to grasp.

Anyhoo, if Crash Dive runs on a Kindle Fire HDX, I would suiggest touting that, and also on the Amazon sale page
add something there....
Crash Dive
by Panic Ensues Software
Platform: Android

I see that there are categories on the Amazon site for
Appstore for Android and also Kindle Fire Apps

I don't understand!
