If not you'd have to sideload everything from the cloud, making it even more of a Jobsian walled garden, and I'd rather not start down that road.
'sides that, I doubt if the Fire can do anything that my SGT or a Nook Tablet (or a rooted Nook Color for that matter) can't.

Oh yes you can mount it to drag and drop via USB like a drive. It's in the Fire user guide.

Transferring content to your Kindle Fire
You can transfer a variety of content types to your Kindle Fire via its micro-USB connector, including music, videos, photos, and documents.
Please note that personal content transferred to your Kindle Fire is only stored on your device and not archived in the cloud.
To transfer content from your computer to your Kindle Fire, do the following:
1. Connect your Kindle Fire to your computer with a micro-USB cable (sold separately).
2. Slide the arrow from right to left to unlock your Kindle.
3. Open the Kindle Fire drive on your computer. Your Kindle Fire will appear as an external storage drive or volume on the computer’s desktop. Note that Kindle Fire is not usable as a device while connected to your computer as a storage drive or volume.
4. Drag and drop your content into the applicable content folder, such as Music or Pictures.
5. When you are done transferring files, press the Disconnect button at the bottom of the Kindle Fire screen and eject it from your computer, then unplug the USB cable.
