At the moment I am in the US for the next 9 months, but after that im going back to Germany. I'm really considering picking up the Kindle Fire here and then just use it in Europe. The mean reasons I want the Kindle for are surfing, youtube, reading books, and maybe some apps (games or so). So my main question is now, wether the amazon app store will work in Europe? I don't care about the Cloud or smth, but about the apps. So do you think the apps will work in Europe?
Otherwise, I would propably buy a HTC Flyer which would be 100 bucks more and would propably not have as good hardware as the Kindle Fire (Dual Core CPU compared to Single Core CPU). So would you suggest me pickung up the Kindle Fire or the HTC Flyer?
I think the apps will work in europe. Only thing not working is the Amazon cloud.

I got Ashphalt 6 from the Android Market when it was on sale for $0.10 for my Samsung Galaxy s 4g. I tried side-loading it on my Kindle Fire and it starts then says it's not compatible with my device. If I try to use Android Market to push it, it doesn't allow me to push to the Kindle Fire, saying again that it's incompatible.
i'd love to see Ashphalt 6 running on the Fire but I won't pay $7 in the Amazon App Store for it since I already bought it. Anyone know how to get it to run on the Fire?
Edit: NM it's on sale for $0.99 on Amazon, I just bought it again

They suggest that the Kindle Fire will be launched in the UK during May 2012. This can't come soon enough.
I don t thing so.
Since the new Samsung nexus 7 zoll tab is announced.
maybe amazon will sell a new KF2 here in europe
Sorry to be selfish, but I hope it's not true. I recently acquired a second KF off ebay and I live in Europe.....
for what, the nexus or the KF2 ?

Christmas 2012 suggested for Kindle Fire release now:

Will it be the same specs as now or a newer model?
It's crazy that they've left it so long (legal issues right?). I'm likely just going to import one (for app development purposes, I want to optimise for the Fire and sell in the Amazon store). Will I have any trouble accessing the app store and stuff in the UK if I am using an imported one?

You won't be able to use the Amazon appstore but Google Play should work fine.
Hello
My Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet received Fire-OS 7 few weeks ago.
I have installed Play Store and few Google Apps in it.
It would have been nice if we receive Nearby Sharing as well.
Was thinking of getting one as a cheap streaming tablet, but no interest in Amazon's limited "Android"
