Kindle Android app download

Is there anywhere I can download the install package for the Kindle Android app - apart from Amazon that is.

I had it working well but it advised an update was available and wouldn't download it. I decided it would be simpler to uninstall and re-install. It was only then I realized that Amazon had begun to enforce regional restrictions (presumably the reason it wouldn't download the upgrade).

Shame, because it was working well as a channel for buying direct from the US Kindle store.

No, all that does is prompt the phone to do an install - which says it will download and then forgets it. Presumably refused by the server on regional grounds.

Many thanks, Nate. That worked a treat. Very useful site, by the look of it.

I think the Kindle apps might only be available to US users.

No, they advertise them on Amazon UK and Amazon DE as well, it's just that they're probably more region-centric/restricted now.

I'm pretty sure the problem was with the Appstore, not the apps.

The Amazon Appstore is limited to the US only.
