i think it is much easier using the amazon app than using the website.
to download the free app, you need an amazon account (and a credit card linked to it)

This guide will tell you how to install the apps from amazon.com from your Android phone if you live outside the US. Now you can enjoy the Free App Of The Day from Amazon.com
Step 0: First go to www.amazon.com and click Sign In.
Step 1: Create a new Amazon account by selecting “No, I am a new customer”, and complete the registration wizard.
Step 2: Put US Address and Phone Number. You can put any random phone number as long as it ha proper code.
Alternatively, you can generate random US address and phone number, etc. with www.fakenamegenerator.com
Step 3: Assign US address as account’s 1-click default address.
Step 4: Next, go to “Add a Credit or Debit Card” section. Paypal provides developers with sets of test credit card account numbers which can also be used in Amazon account. You can also use these test credit card numbers to register in Amazon Appstore. This can be found here
Step 5: Your Amazon account is now configured to get any free apps from Amazon AppStore
Step 6: Now you can download and install Amazon AppStore for Android. Run Amazon AppStore App and login with this new username/password. Now you can download all free apps from Amazon.
NOTE1: You will still not be able to purchase any paid apps (apps which are not free) with these test credit cards.
NOTE2: It is highly recommended to make a new user rather than using US address in preexisting usernames.
I want to let family and friends use my Fire but do not want them buying anything, is there an app lock that will work with the fire. Thanks.
Not that I'm aware of. I would guess you would have to log into the amazon account tied to the Kindle and disable/remove all forms of payment.
I know my wife hadn't set up her new credcard, all the old ones were in so she couldn't even download "free" apps since you still need to buy them.
On that note, I hate email spam everytime I "buy" free stuff.
so far the only thing i have found is to have my "one click" goto a empty prepaid card... then if someone tries to buy something it goes to my email saying that it failed and then i can (if its something i want) click in the email... sign in though my phone and change the payment to another card i have saved in amazon.
if you want to block total access including free apps i use the "app protector" and there is a free version in the amazon market for 7 day trial.
The best option that I see is to what was mentioned using a prepaid credit card. I use that with a lot of things of this nature. That way these companies get what they want (my credit card), and I am at a basic no risk situation because there is no money on it for them to take. A good example was when DirecTV said I didn't return a box on time and they tried to take hundreds of dollars out of my account without notice.
That being said I know Amazon wants us to buy buy buy, but the kindle is a great option for kids. No parent wants their child to one click access to their credit card.
This is the only thing I've found. You can pick & choose what they have access to. I wish you could disable one-click on certain devices!!

Ok so what's the difference between the cloud and what's on my device? I have all my books on the cloud but they are also all on my device. Can I put apps on the cloud? I guess I'm just confused as to how it works.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk
The "cloud" (I really hate that term) contains anything you have purchased from Amazon but may or may not have downloaded yet. You can also upload your own content.
The Cloud [store and remove]
Consider the cloud sort of like a backup of everything you've gotten from Amazon Market for you Fire: books and apps. You can "remove from device" any of that stuff and you've still got it in your Cloud. So, you can go buy a ton of freebies on Amazon and they'll forever be in you Cloud; you can store it all there [unorganized].
In fact, the only way to remove it from you're Cloud is to got to "manage device" from within Amazon website and actively mark it for deletion. After a sync or reboot, it'll eventually go away from your cloud view on your Fire.
Is it possible to fake register the kindle. I'm more than happy to have a rooted kindle and leave anything to do with the amazon app store behind. But certain features like email and calender need me to register on amazon.. any workaround? There seemed to be something you could do with the paperwhite kindles

los911,
So far we have not been able to "Fake Register" the Kindle. Amazon has spent a lot of time
making sure the device logs into their service. I think most of the development is being
spent on upgrades, tweaks and future ROM's. I will talk this over with our development
team but so far I have not heard any discussion on this topic. Maybe someone else
will have a better answer.

Thanks for your reply.
What do you suggest I do? Should I install a different app for each of the amazon apps I cannot use?
Root and Google Play for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Software Version 7.2.3

Los911,
Sorry, I should have included that with my last response.
Here are the replacements:
1. Root the Kindle http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
2. Install Google Play Store http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069859
3. Then using Google Play Store, search for (then Install);
Google Play Books > Amazon Books
Google Currents > Amazon Newsstand
Google Play Magazines > Amazon Newsstand
Google Play Store Apps > Amazon Apps Store
Google Play Music > Amazon Music
Google Play Movies > Amazon Videos
Google Play Games > Amazon Games
Google Play Store > Amazon Shop
Google Play Books > Amazon Audiobooks
Dolphin > Amazon Web (Silk)
I think that covers it. The Amazon Photos can be replaced by a number of applications, just search Google Play for
Photo Software, over 100 applications appear, most are free.
Let me know if you have any other questions, we are here from 10am to 10pm PST GMT -8
and we do offer free phone support if you are unable to get the job done through the Threads.
Take Care, Chris Bryant (prokennexusa)
Any suggestions for a work around the contacts.app? I can't work with any of my contacts (even whatsapp) without being annoyed with the Amazon login request...

I use Skype, which manages my contacts. Another option is cCloud.
Skype is installed, but not an option to manage my about 150 contacts imported from Outlook.
The point is, I imported all existing contacts to dw contacts, but I'm not able to change anything. When I try to, Amazon calls for a login...
There must be a way around, either with an alternate contacts.app or a fake login.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Let me get a little more information so I can help you. You want to "Fake Register" the Kindle due to not having
a credit card, is this the case? If yes, I have great news, we Developers have Fake Credit Card Numbers (IT IS LEGAL)
that can be used when you run into a company that forces you to use a credit card. Let's face it, not everyone has a
card! In order to install apps on your Kindle Fire you will need an American credit card. In order to install Free apps at
all you need to have an American credit card setup under your 1-click settings in your Amazon Account. Amazon
will check if the credit card you have in your account is an American Credit card, but not charge it when you add
it to your account or download a free app.
Below is a list of test card numbers used by developers for validating check out processes when building web
stores – and guess what, they can be used with Amazon ☺. I have of course not checked all numbers but I
am sure you will find one you can use on the list.
Expiration Date has to be a valid date in the future (use the mmyy format). Also make sure to use a US address
(just Google for one, but make sure you don’t ship any purchases to this address). These cards will NOT allow
you to make a purchase, they are use for testing purposes ONLY. There is nothing illegal about doing this as
long as you do not use this in an attempt to defraud a company. These numbers are Publicly known and are
posted on several development websites, this is where I found the information quite a long time ago.
Please send us a PM, we will respond with the numbers to be used for development purposes only.
Huh, thanks a lot for that much information, but I think, you got me wrong...
The KFHD hardware itself (and the price payed) is perfect for my needs, but I do not trust very much in Amazon's way to handle my data. Therefor I'd like to use the KFHD as an ordinary Android tablet with those apps I like. This worked so far, the device is rooted, Google Market and Go Launcher are installed and most Amazon pre-installed apps were replaced by others - except the above mentioned contacts.apk. I couldn't find a working replacement and all other email or social network applications try to access these contacts, but unfortunately all attempts are denied “You have to login to your Amazon account first“.
Thus no need to play around with fake credit card numbers or so...
Anyway, thanks for your help (although it was not the final solution for my "problem").

nakedtruthishere,
I was not sure, so I wanted to offer you the same solution we offer several hundreds that use
the Kindle Fire overseas. These users are just plain stuck due to the Amazon's geographic
rules. So when we sell the Kindle Fire to people overseas this is there solution. It is not
playing with credit card numbers, it is a simple solution to a known problem with Amazon
and it is 100% legal. We have a large corporation with several attorneys who are retained
by our firm, we discussed this with them before publishing this information. Now that I
understand your problem, I can drill down the applications. Do you have Google Play
installed on the Kindle Fire? If yes, search for "Contact App" or "Contact Manager"
you will find quite a few to replace the Kindle Address Book.

I tried several - none of them worked well.
Now I have DW contacts installed. I have got some contacts imported to DW with another app. So far, so good.
When I want to add a contact to the list or try to change any of them, the old song plays: Please login to your Amazon account...
When I renamed or deleted the OEM contacts.apk, DW contacts prompts "not supported by your system".
Maybe you guys could have a deeper look into it?
Thanks again for any help.

nakedtruthishere,
Good idea, I will ask one of my developers to do a little research, send us a PM
requesting a "Good Address Book for the Kindle", then I will forward to my
dev team. Thanks!

Corporate Addressbook from Vivek M. Lyer
Description
Want to lookup your colleague's information in Exchange but find your Android phone lacking?
Unfortunately the Global Address List (GAL) lookup currently available in Android is limited in functionality. It only looks up email addresses and does not return anything more. This could be frustrating when you are trying to use your phone to look up your colleague's phone number or office location.
This application looks up the GAL contact database, and returns ALL data corresponding to the contact that is available on the server. It also allows you to save the contact information retrieved to your phone for easy access.
This app supports GAL lookups on
- Exchange 2003
- Exchange 2007
- Exchange 2010
- Google Apps for Business/Education
- Zimbra
Thanks to the people assisting with translations:

This app is NOT ad-supported and is completely free and open-source.
See http://code.google.com/p/corporateaddressbook/
FAQ
- Why does the app need so many permissions?
Once the app looks up a name, there are links next to the phone numbers that allow you to call or send a text to the number. In order to make these links work, the app needs the permissions to make calls and send text messages. Also in order to save the search results to your address book, the app needs to be able to access the accounts on your device and add contacts to the accounts.
- Is this app ad supported or paid?
Nopes, the app is completely free (both like beer and speech). There are no ads, and the source code is available on Google Code (http://code.google.com/p/corporateaddressbook/).
- Why are you asking for my credentials? Are you trying to steal my identity
Unfortunately there is no way to access your account information that is configured on your device. The information you enter in the app stays on the device. Please feel free to audit the code if you are still worried.
- This doesn't work, how can I report an issue?
Please feel free to email me, or report an issue at http://code.google.com/p/corporateaddressbook/issues/list
- Why is the app not available in my language?
The developers are, unfortunately, not versed in several languages - but you can help! Please join the translatioon effort at http://crowdin.net/project/corporate-addressbook/.
I have tried both address books and found the first one Smartr Contacts to be the best, although they are both solid products - try them both, they are free.
So i have some family members that wanted an android device where they could easily select netflix, hulu, youtube, twitch etc.... but they didn’t want to create an amazon account and i sure as heck didn’t want to leave my account linked to it. If you deregister your device from your amazon using the web the fire tv will not let you use any application until you create or login to an amazon account.
So what I did was:
1. You need Root
2. Install an alternative launcher
3. Using Titanium backup freeze KFTV Launcher and OOBE
4. Go online to amazon.com and deregister the device from your account
5. No more nagging message telling me to log in using an amazon account.
Hope this helps!!!
Because this will kill your connection to amazon please keep in mind that any amazon app downloaded will stop working.

I'm glad someone did this. I always would like to de-register my device from my account, since I have no longer use it. But I didn't try because I'm afraid that will block my root device. By the way, what OOBE stands for?

Out of box experience - referring to the initial state a device is in when it is taken out of the box. A lot of time the first time you power on a new device it will come up with an initialization wizard that asks to active/register etc, and it only runs once.
