Amazon Kindle Fire - How to use Android Market

Sideloading is the process of installing Apps that are not from Amazon, on your Kindle Fire – for example the Android Market. In order to do this, you must enable it in the settings first.

From the homescreen, press Settings – More – Device. Then find Allow Installation of Applications From Unknown Sources and change this to On.

Now you can copy other Apps on to the device as files. In order to open the files however you will need to get a free App called ES File Explorer from the Amazon marketplace.

Once you have installed this, copy the App installation file to your computer via a USB cable and open it in ES File Explorer.
