I think you must root and install Android Market.

The Amazon App Store doesn't carry all the Apps the Android Market has either. Far from it. However, some market is better than no market.

Between the alternative App Stores and some of the free Android App websites you can find a lot of excellent and newer Apps. AndroidPIT, 1Mobile, and SlideME are among the best alternative Markets.


For example, did you know the Android Community website syncs their App data directly from the Android Market? All FREE Apps available on the Android Market can be downloaded from their site.

You can also Google Alternative Android Markets and find a lot of legitimate App sites out there that you may not even know existed. For example, Insyde Market, freeapk.com, Aproov etc.


While rooting is certainly one way to go, I wouldn't recommend it for the casual everyday user unless they are prepared to have a possible $200 brick on their hands that Amazon won't take back.
