what are the apps. are there no later versions in amazon store for the more recent fire tablets?
you could try the backup and restore dance with 2 tablets registered to same amazon account make a backup on the old tablet - find the backup file ( the apk) and copy it to the newer one, then install that copy. it may just work
amazon allow backup and restore to work on their paid apps, as it will run a licence check after the re-install, so if both devices are registered to same account there shoudl be no licence errors. google's protection is different. paid apps do not back up correctly so they cannot be restored onto a different device
i have moved a paid for app from older to newer fire ( It was one that was no longer in store so did not appear in the list of " my apps" on the new tablet, but the backup and restore solution worked.
but I am gradually spending to replace all my amazon apps with google equivalents as they are more future proof. google does this think called google rewards where you get a little play store credit every time you answer a short survey - so I am doing that to fund replacement apps. its not that I can't afford them , its principle of having to pay twice with real money that I boject to
