We are basically promoting piracy in this forum. There are a LOT of people installing any APK they can find just about anywhere. That's the whole problem with devices like the Kindle Fire not having access to the main legal distribution of apps that everyone is wanting to use - Android Market.
If the Fire had been running a custom build of Honeycomb or later, it would have lost someone like Adobe a good few thousand dollars on revenue from their new touch apps since they aren't on the Amazon App Store.
The Amazon App Store is doing NOTHING for them. Lots of outdated apps, people taking advantage of the Free App of the Day (even before they are to GET the Kindle Fire), and the lack of developers who still won't use them even after so many Fire sales.
With this move, Amazon could attract more buyers of the Fire, more Prime subscribers, and satisfy most of us who have already bought it. They can always get the loss commission from Google anyway.
