I've b een travelling the USA and bought a really cheap kindle fire 1st gen.

Unfortunately I can't download any apps as I don't have a USA credit card and it's fixed to amazon.com and according to both uk and usa customer services cannot be changed to amazon.co.uk.

Does anyone know a way to install apps without using the store or have a spare credit/debit card around the are not using so I can download free demos :D

You cannot even download free stuff? How about signing up for an American account? I can go to English sites and sign io for accounts there.

I have an amazon.com and co.uk account but on the US 1st gen kindle fire you can only access the .com app store.

I tried making up an address in the USA and using my UK credit card but it recognises it as a non US credit card so wont let me get anything, not even free apps.
