At least books. I'm not sure if that counts with apps. And not even sure if all older apps work on all newer kindles for that matter (there are complaints for that very game not working on the HDX). Plus with the recent firmware update requirements I wonder if at some point it wont even be possible to do it through amazon.
My understanding is that ebooks are DRM'ed with something unbreakable locking them to one amazon kindle. But is that also the case with software? |
I am not sure if Kindle Active Content is encrypted, but as long as it lists your Kindle a compatible you will be able to download it directly to the device and Amazon will take care of making it run.
FWIW, that particular Active Content lists the Keyboard as a supported device.

No duh it won't work on the HDX.
The HDX is an Android device and runs Android apps, and Active Content is completely different since it is written for E-Ink Kindles which run a custom embedded linux operating system.
