I searched Google Play on my Galaxy S5 and could not find the Amazon App Store. I did find the Kindle Reader and installed it.
There may be a reason. I notice that AcroBible looks and feels different on the phone versus the tablet and I noticed the same with GSam. Thus, I went ahead and spent about $ 30 to buy all the Apps from the Google Play Store.
The Apps may have the same names but they work differently.
On the S5 one must also allow Unknown Apps to install if they come from anywhere but the Google Play Store. I believe even Samsung Apps need that permission.
Thus, with my Kindle Fires I buy all Apps from Amazon and with my Galaxy S5 I buy them all from Google.
I also notice that Google is selling eBooks as well and they have their own reader. Next time I buy a book I will compare prices and buy from the lowest price between Amazon and Google. Its possible the Google Reader will be much better than the Amazon App for Android on the S5. I won't know until I buy one.
The Kindle Reader App for Android is NOT as good as the native reader on the Fires for Amazon eBooks.
