Forums - General - KINDLE FIRE 1st GEN North American version advice/info wanted

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.



Just root it.. And put stock android on it... http://androidforums.com/kindle-fire-1st-gen-all-things-root/559555-kindle-fire-all-things-root-guide.html
