I'm not attached to any Google Apps and it seems to me that getting Play (Market) installed on the Nook is a bit of a pain.
Moreover, Google goes out of the way to make it difficult.
The Amazon Appstore gives you a URL to just download their store app.

Isn't Amazon a better place to go for apps? Your opinion?
Afaik, amazon apps only can be downloaded from few countries, such as usa, canada, australia etc. It is not active on my country, so its not an option..
It's just another app store; there's several others. The only differences I've seen are 1) some apps get updated faster on the Play store; and 2) your purchases are not backed up to your google account so when you set up a new device you have to go to the amazon app store and find/download the apps you want individually.
There are a number of apps I use that aren't on Amazon; the Market is the only source.
I'll just add that some of the apps that you get off Amazon, including free ones,
require you to keep the Amazon Appstore on your device to run them.
This may not be an issue for some, but if you use logcat,
continuous 1/2 page burps of complete nonsense out of the Appstore application in the logcat is a distraction.
Is it possible to download apps from amazon.com whilst in the uk, I am trying to install scrabble but its not available in the uk.

Hit thanks if I helped
FYI Finally (and silently) received updates to the Play Store and possibly other Google components on a Thor running CM 12.1 that supports enhanced Play Store functionality announced several months ago. Last updated/used date is suspect but the section showing which library apps are not installed on a specific device is a welcome addition.
Hello
I have gen7 and gen9 fire tables. I am desperately desperate ;/ as i am not able to install any app on these devices (running amazon original OS). I have no idea whats wrong / what i am not doing properly and monkeys from amazon support are not able to do anything just waste time on chat / phone.
I need to install few apps that are for free, I linked both tables with my Amazon.co.uk account where i have billing/delivery address set to UK (but the debit card for a payments was issued in Europe Czechia). On gen9 i can browse apps but once i click on install i got error, same was on gen7 but today some amazon monkey did something and right now i am not able even see apps in the amazon AppStore... its completely empty.
I am not sure if that's because right now my IP address is not UK or if there is some other restriction? Even the links below shows that Czechia is supported.
