How to download Google Play Store on Amazon Kindle

Amazon Kindle is undoubtedly the best E-reader available on the market. Amazon uses the FireOS as the firmware for its E-readers. The Fire OS is based on Android. The moment you pick up an Amazon Kindle tablet, the very first thought on your mind is of an Android tablet, but right after using it for a while, you will be greatly disappointed. That was the case with me at least.

The Amazon Kindle doesn’t have anything Google in it. There is no Google Play Store, no Google Books, no Google Play Music, no Google Play Services and no Google Docs either. It looks like Amazon wanted to create a too much clean device so it considered all the Google Apps as bloatware and removed them from scratch.

If you want to use your Amazon Kindle solely as an E-reader, you should be unquestionably fine with it. However, if you want to unleash the real tablet power hidden inside your Kindle, you do have the right to go ahead and bring in the Google Play Store. The Google Play Store will pave the way for all the Android applications and that’s how you will be able to maximize the use of your Kindle.

Follow these simple steps to download Google Play Store on Amazon Kindle. The Google Play Store will be installed with the help of APK files, which means this method is completely safe and sound. This method is verified, it has worked for thousands of users. Let’s install Play Store on Amazon Kindle now.
