If you have some folder like Utilities or Amazon (to de-clutter Home) you could at least stick it in there.

If you install an alternate launcher (I have no recommendations) you might be able to use that to delete it.

Factory reset (without subsequent restore) doesn't seem like such a bad option, at least it would not be for me. I never really found many Amazon Appstore apps worth installing.

I decided to put Google Play on my Fire Max 11 to get the few apps that I didn't want to side load and keep having to update by hand, as I'd done in the past. I had not bothered to do this with any of my ten or so Fire tablets previously. It was not that hard, but you just need to get the right set of APKs. But having done it I would not want to factory reset and have to do it again. Hopefully, I will never have to.
