Hi AnemicOak :-)
Thank you, that is great information. So I will look into rooting my Kindle.
I must say that I have no experience in that area, so does anybody have a suggestion for me which Android Version (Jellybean/Gingerbread) is the easiest to install?
Have done some googling and found some how-to's, but so far nothing that struck me as particularly easy. Especially this one did not fill me with confidence:

Especially as - if I am not mistaken, do not have it with me - my Kindle Fire is on system 6.3.3 and not on 6.3.1 any more.
