I'd be cautious. Google is implementing a change for the next updates that will actively block all non-certified devices, meaning the Boox and Likebooks will no longer have access to the play store.

Google will be careful not to terminate existing Play connections and in this way disrupt existing purchases.

Then you should check whether the Amazon applications on the Likebook Mars work at all - I wouldn't be sure.

Some good apps on the Google Playstore are both free and without adverts or nagware.

The Amazon store might be optimised for the Fire?
