Just tested recording and it works — with a caveat. I used a Rocketfish headset (4 gold bands, three black ones) that is my standard Android headset (for my phone and Transformer). I installed (sideloaded) the Netmemo+ audio recording app on my Fire. It works on the LP settings, but not on the HQ settings*. Speculating, I think this means the Fire will accept and process mic input in 8kHz signals but not 16kHz. At least that's my guess.

So, audio notes live! I was able to email them, send to Evernote, and play them back using the Amazon MP3 player. What a nice "undocumented" feature to discover!

MP3 (60 minutes) works
MP3-Hi-Q (20 minutes) does not (mic not found error)
OGG (60 minutes) works
OGG-Hi-Q (20 minutes) does not (mic not found error)
WAV (8 minutes) works
WAV-Hi-Q (3 minutes) does not (mic not found error)
