In fact I can't find any video players, on the Amazon App Store, that plays AVI (the preferred bootleg format).
How difficult will it be for the average owner to root the Fire. This may be the only way to gain access to other video players.
These are some of the unknowns and that is why I canceled my order for the Fire.

You will be able to sideload apps. This has been confirm by Suntimes and another reviewer. There is a setting you have to check for it but you can use the browser to download apk files. so now it's just making sure it works okay on the Fire. It's going to be trial and error but at least we have that option.
Also Mantano will work on the Fire so we do have epub support!
I am reading these hands on reviews as fast as they come in when I should be sleeping.
