Has anyone successfully loaded Quickoffice Pro HD on their Kindle Fire? I've found the APK for (bootleg) download but I'd like to actually pay for it and sideload it. Is this possible?
Thank you
You don't even have to sideload it. They have it in the Amazon app store and it was even a FOTD not too long ago. Works great.
I see the Quick Office Pro app available for Kindle but not Quick Office Pro HD (designed for Android tablets). Am I maybe missing something.

Works on the Fire despite the "Honeycomb" part.
I thought I would share this with the XDA Kindle Fire Community as well.
I've had my Amazon Kindle Fire for a while now, and I've decided it was time to see what kind of modifications I can load onto it. Since I have a Google Nexus 7 on its way, I imagine that a Kindle Fire loaded up with Jelly Bean might make for a decent comparison tablet.
In part 1, I started off by rooting my Kindle Fire and installing the Google market, or Play Store on it using the Kindle Fire Utility.
In part 2, I take it a step further by installing Teamwin's TWRP Recovery, and then using it to install Energy's CM9 ROM.
And finally, in part 3, I go for the gusto and load up Hashcode's Jelly Bean ROM. Very slick.
Overall, I am impressed with the Jelly Bean performance on the Kindle Fire, and I look forward to seeing it battle against my Google Nexus 7... once it gets here.
Please direct your comments and questions toward the REVTV Forums. I've created a brand new section specifically for the Amazon Kindle Fire and this new video series.
Enjoy!
Not reserved. LOL
hi i have just bought a kindle fire hd 7" and want to root it. I am running the latest (i think) 7.3.0 software. There appears to be a few methods out there and was hoping some one could point to to correct one. I use linux (either mint or kali-linux 32 bit systems) although have access to windows if needs be.
Also wondering if there are many stable roms for it yet as I am not huge a fan of the amazon standard.
Thanks
I am a tablet nomad, always changing and upgrading. I am selling my 10.1" galaxy for an Asus Chromebook. Now I am looking at going from a 6" kindle fire to a new 7" Nook tablet. I just do not like the kindle ecosystem. It looks like the new nook will let me install the kindle app from the Play Store. I find the 10 inch for factor too large for books so I am using a smaller tablet for kindle, nook and my Bible reading. I'll let you know how it works out.
Now to wait for someone to root it. I'm pretty sure illness stick with Stock rooted.

I have Google Play installed on my Kindle Fire HD 8 6th gen, and it shows a nice update available, but it won't update. The Amazon app store doesn't show any updates.
Is there a workaround, or do I just have to wait for Amazon to release an update?
I'm surprised that Amazon doesn't provide the update.
Suggestions?
Apparently Amazon has loaded a slightly different version of the Kindle app on Kindle Fire tablets, so the play store version will not update it. No idea why they did that.
It also frustrates me to no end that the Kindle app on Kindle Fire tablets cannot be locked in portrait orientation, while the Kindle app on every other android device can.
