I would quite like to try out the Kindle for Android app but like hutzserd432 I have no idea how to go about it.

If anyone would like to take pity on the clueless ... or perhaps this new hack is not for people like us
First steal a sheep hack your T1.

You can:
  • email a copy of the app to yourself and then open the email on the T1
  • download the app from a website,
  • get it in an app store (I like Amazon), or
  • copy the app to the T1 over the USB cable.

The installation is pretty much the same for all options.

Click on the app (or the link to the app) to download the app.

Tap the black bar that is across the top of the screen. This will bring up a (pop-down) menu. You should see a progress bar showing the app being downloaded. But the download might be done before you look (or it might fail).

Once the download is done, click on the space where the bar used to be. That will select the app and start the install process.

Note that this process might break because the app simply isn't compatible.
