force me to connect to the web every 30 days to prove I am not software pirate.
With my Go launcher Ex home screen I basicly bypass the Amazon Experience altogether and use my KF as an android tablet.

I had Go launcher on the Kindle Fire original. It was just like my Samsung stuff and I didn't particularly like it.
I went back to the stock stuff. For the Kindle Fire HD also, as with the Kindle Fire 1, I just download any of the other apps by using the app stores for 1mobile.com or getjar.com or slideme.org + others. There's nothing I wanted that I couldn't get by merely downloading it while ON the KFire and just clicking on Install.
Amazon makes it easy enough when we choose to enable installation of apps from other sources under 'Device' under Settings.
ES File Explorer or File Expert both make it easy to just tap and install apps we've downloaded direct to the device. I don't have to even literally 'sideload' any -- it's merely a download though the meaning of 'sideload' now encompasses anything that's received other than thru' the Amazon store.
That's all done with the stock Kindle Fire 1 or HD interface. Nothing special about it. I actually enjoy the 'Favorites' feature. Accessing any type of Favorite (app, game, book, newspaper) from anywhere and whatever I'm doing. Then I can return to where I was when through with jumping to the Favorite.
And, yes, I have on both KFires Aldiko and Mantano for DRM'd ePub books.
