Ah, you need to install the play store on that thing! That was such a confusing move by Amazon, leaving the Google ecosystem. I assume it was over some compliance or licensing issue, but it was a complete own goal. At their price point the fire tablets are the best android tablets by far (in terms of bang for your buck) - or they would be, if the Amazon app store wasn't hot garbage. Fortunately installing the play store isn't as simple as clicking two buttons, but it is pretty easy and straightforward.

There should be some good guides with links to the necessary files on the xda forums.

Edit: my friend recommends this guide from AndroidPolice as it has troubleshooting tips as well. He also suggested along with a decent keyboard that you grab brave (and mindustry).

Mindustry is a fascinating game, but seems a bit out of place hereā€¦ :)

He insists everyone put mindustry on everything, and I have trouble disagreeing with him.
