Ah, yeah, since most common processor in Android devices is ARM.
They got compilers for ARM (so do we, and the rest of the world).
Each of the OSs (Google/Android and Amazon/Kindle) use a Linux kernel.
With a few specializations, but 99.99% the same.
The difference is in the applications build -
Android uses its own breed of system C library,
Kindle uses one of the standard system C libraries.
So an Android application must first be re-built to use the same, standard, system library as the Kindle.
I.E: Android build != Standard Linux build.
As I posted, get the sources and re-build against the same library used on the Kindle,
OR,
Go to the vendor of what you want to run, see if they have already built a version against a standard library.
(Your only choice if it is "closed source").
