Is there a version of the Kindle Android software that will work on the G-Tablet?
I see several posts saying people have made it work. But they seem to never say where they found the software or what the filename was or what device it was for.
I have an old Kindle, but would like to read on my tablet if it works well.

get the market working and download the Kindle app for Android from the market.
I have the Kindle app and the Nook app on my tab.
Sent from my GTab...
I flashed my G-tab with TnT lite 2.0 with both flash and market hack installed and can confirm that both Nook and Kindle work.
Link to TnT lite 2.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004
I got the apk even before the market was working. It was not hard to find and may have even been handango.com (the market that comes with the tablet).

I am running the Vegan 5.1 final on my Gtab, everything works well, however the market does not show me some of the apps I have on my Droid Incredible. Things like the NHL gamecenter app or the Five Guys app are not found when I search the market on the Gtab. I have found a few that I installed on the phone but the market lists them as installed will not permit me to install them on the GTab any ideas?
I was going to suggest running the Market Fix, but I do not have them on mine and I have run the Market Fix.
Thanks - I did the market fix before creating the thread and also the one where the device id is changed to say olympus as well - but still no joy. Thanks for your response.
With the Olympus fix I have 5 guys. Do NOT have NHL gamecenter though. Did you do the fix AFTER changing to Olympus? I did. Some have said you don't need to but I noted in the instructions that if you had trouble try rerunning the market fix.
Hi, I just rooted my kindle fire to be able to access the android market, and in the market app it does not even bring up blood and glory when searched? But if I go to the market via the web I can see it but it then says it is not compatible with my rooted kindle?? So I cannot download It.???? So are there just some apps that will not work??? Or is there a way around this?
Thanks!

Apps a deigned to work only with the right hardware. You could try to fake it so the market thinks its a different device but it still may not work
Because its the Kindle Fire the Amazon App Store is default. And so when company's like Gameloft release a game they'll assume that your Kindle Fire doesn't have access to the Android Market and most of the time they'll only release the app for the Android Market meaning that the Market app will filter the app out. One of the ways to get around this is to go onto your computer and download the apk file and then transfer it to your Kindle. Once you've installed it on your Kindle it should run. You can download an apk file via your Kindles browser as long as it is an apk file. I'm not to sure about paid app's however.
Thank for the info!
So how do I go about downloading the APK file (blood and glory) to a computer, as the market again will not let you download it (need android device)??? and once I have the file do I just drop it in to the main kindle drive (no special folder or any thing).. because when trying to find all my other APK app files that are installed on my kindle I can't find where they are store at on my kindle??
I am pretty new to all this still...
Thanks again, you guys are great!
Is anyone else having issues downloading tablet specific apps on to the kindle fire from the web market? It says that the kindle is not compatible.
For example: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cnn.mobile.android.tablet
That app says it is incompatible with the kindle running ics.
Am I alone, or missing something?
Oddly enough the app in the link you posted isn't compatible with my Kindle running CM7, but this one from Time Magazine (for tablets) is: Time Magazine Tablet App
What is the determining factor here?
I guess my Android version checks out for that specific tablet app, but yours should check out too since you're running ICS...
Yea, the Time magazine is compatible as well. Are honeycomb apps still just honeycomb only, and not ics compatible yet?
All,
I'm hoping to get News360 running on the KF running the ICS ROM (which is fantastic btw). But Market says my device isn't compatible with News360 for Tablets. Of course, it's a free app, but I cannot find of an APK of it anywhere. Has anyone been able to get News360 for Tablets from Android Market? OR can tell me how to procure the APK? Or if anyone has figured out how to convince Android Market I'm really running a proper Ice Cream Sandwich tablet and they shouldn't see it as a Kindle Fire and block it?
I HATE fragmentation!

I downloaded it to my Kindle and then uploaded the apk for you, you can download it HERE.
Thank you! This is the Tablet version, right? It didn't have a problem with the fact that it was the Kindle Fire? Or did you get it from Amazon's app store, or what?
Thanks!

It works fine but I mistakenly downloaded the phone version, I'm installing the tablet version and will update my first post. The tablet version is giving me an error about parsing the package.
Edit: I found a few places to download it from but I get the same parsing error with each one.
yeah

Hi, i'm totally new to rooting and installing alternate ROMs, but i just installed KitKat CM11 and GAPPS KK on my kindle fire HD 7" following RootJunky's excellent tutorial video 'How To Install KitKat CM11 on the Kindle Fire HD 7in' -
Everything appears to be working fine and dandy, but when i download a new app from Google Play or 1 Mobile Market, they send the Amazon Kindle version rather than the android version (i know KFT is android but i don't know how else to phrase this) . So far i have about 80% success rate in these downloaded apps working.
For example, Dolphin Browser, Lastpass, MoliPlayer, Pocket, Amazon Kindle Reader all work, most games do not.
My guess is that this is something to do with the graphics demand of the games.
My rather long winded question is this, is it possible to make my machine not appear to be a KFT as far as these sites are concerned. If so would these apps be more likely to work, or is the problem not an incorrect version of the app but rather some incompatibility between KitKat operating system and Kindle hardware.
Any suggestion / info gratefully received.
