Apps For The Kindle Fire Not So Restricted After All

We have been told that you can only download apps for the Kindle Fire from Amazon, and they are screening the apps to assure there is no malware. But, if you have access to an Android phone, PC Magazine tells you how to get around that limitation, so you can happily download all the crappy malware you want.

You'll need a microSD card in that Android phone and Astro File Manager. On the phone you select apps and then back them up to the microSD card. Copy the files from the microSD card to your computer. With your Kindle Fire, download "Easy Installer." Then hook up the Fire to your computer via USB. Move the app files from the computer to the Fire. Disconnect the Fire and use "Easy Installer" to install the apps.
