The Kindle Fire HD, likewise other Amazon tablets, is a device that comes with awesome specs at a good price. These tablets give you a totally new experience when reading eBooks. The only thing that these tablets don’t have is the Google Play Store, as Amazon’s AppStore comes pre-installed on these devices.
However, thanks to XDA Developers, now you can install Google Play Store on your Kindle Fire HD without any problems. Stopxwatch, a XDA Developer member, has come with a solution which allows Kindle Fire users to install the official Android application store. However, keep in mind that this guide will ask you to add some files in the system folder and for now there is no way you can restore the original system folder, so please proceed with caution when doing this.
