Why Apps Not Available on HD8
I also noticed this issue, particularly with a workout app I use. It worked great on my Fire HD7, but not available at all for my Fire HD8. I contacted the developer. They no longer develop for the Amazon App Store and do not support the apps. So, older versions are available, but not compatible (in theory) with the new devices, so are no longer available. Compatibility issues are the primary reason an app will not show in the Amazon app store for a device. It is some protection, but also annoying.
There is now an easy, non-root way, to install Play store on a Fire HD8. This gives some options for those apps that are no longer available. As always, since it is a different platform, experiment for which apps will and won't work for your particular device.
