I would be happier with my Fire if they didn't arbitrarily embargo reading apps, third party browsers and the like under the guise of 'incompatibility'. I'm a bit surprised they haven't been sued by app publishers over this. I'm sure at least some of them assumed Fire tablets would have access to their apps, as Fire owners must comprise the majority of customers for Amazon Appstore.

I have an android device which has all the apps I need, I simply back up the apk on that device using Cleanmaster then send it to the Fire using ES File Explorer, then install. I have Moon Reader Pro on mine. I've only had to do that for about 10 apps. Unfortunately it doesn't work for any apps that offer a subscription service like most news apps does as they need Google Play.
I've also got access to my Google Drive through Office Pro so tbh there's not much I'm missing now.
I also downloaded a beta version of Firefox which I've synced with my laptop, that works perfectly as my main browser. I downloaded that direct from the Morzlla site via the silk browser.
The real test will be when I go on holiday as then I'll only take my iPhone and the HDX I'm leaving my large ipad at home.
