some people get into a mess with that sideloading, there are a couple of long threads on here, but in those we did establish that you can mod the latest 2018 version of the Fire tablet ok if you follow the instructions exactly.
i got all the google stuff to work except for the proper gmail app, so I use the supplied email app instead.
all the premium epub reader in the google play store will work once you add the store

amazon seem to be getting over their big spat with google, youtube is re-enabled for Fire TV and amazon are stocking chromecast dongles...
That is looking more and more like the way to go, then. I just resent Amazon for making my fiction-reading life so tough when they locked down my PaperWhite in the name of an "upgrade."

Thank you.
