rryerson , Thank you for the response, but I wish I could use my current Kindle 8.9 HD tablet. Maybe I am not doing something right? Is it working ok on your Galaxy Tab 3? Steve S
Yep, works great on my Tab 3
I don't think you can sideload apps on a Kindle without rooting it. It runs Android, but it is an Amazon modified version of Android and doesn't have access to Google Apps, the Google Play store, or many other functions typical of Android tablets (like I don't think the Kindle has GPS or Compass sensors).

Alan, Thank you for the response, what is "rooting It" ? I think you mentioned in previous response about downloading to a PC, then an Android? How would I do that? Maybe it not compatible with Kindle? I received no responses from anyone who has successfully used it on a Kindle. If not, it is a nice feature that I look forward to on my IOS. Maybe there will be an app for theEZB4 and EZB3 with IOS? Thank You, Steve S
Rooting is basically breaking the built-in security to give you access to the underlying operating system functions. I don't even know if it can be done on a kindle . It was trivial on the first Nook. Best to start your search for information on Android or Kindle forums. Search for "sideload apk on a kindle" to get started.

@Steve- I'll save you a little time and recommend going to xda developers web site. You can search for your device and begin more research there. I've rooted most of my Android devices. This is one of the best places I've found for information on this subject. I hope that helps.
Thank you Alan and Antron007, I did find the option to allow outside apps on my Kindle and changed it to allow, but still no app. I will have look into the web sites on rooting. Steve S
I would have recommended XDA, but some of the threads can be fairly deep and unfriendly to people who ask beginner questions. You'll find what you need there for sure, but do some searching before asking any questions or you will be treated unkindly
You might find easier tutorial or beginner instructions going to Kindle specific forums vs XDA.
Just my two cents.
