I've found the basic how-to on side-loading apps to the Fire, so I can probably handle that, I just need to be able to download it!
You will need to find the apk file for the program. You could could try to google for it. The only way to get Market apps is with the Market installed. I get mine through my phone then back up the apk file using ES File Manager and send it to the other device that way. There is a way to emulate an android device using your PC but I've never tried it.
