They do, but usually weeks behind Market updates due to the process Amazon uses to validate the files.
And even when they do update (ex. Angry Birds) sometimes it won't show as an available update. Best bet is to get an app like AppBrain and check for updates through it. Then if it says one of your Amazon apps has an update, you actually have to go search for it in the Amazon store and manually force it to update.
This sometimes still doesn't work. For the latest Angry Birds Seasons update, I had to update to the free version in Market, THEN Amazon told me there was an update for my "paid" ad-free version.
GAY!

Surprised I haven't seen a thread made about this yet. Free today only. ICS Compatible, works on Galaxy Nexus. Works pretty well too!

Don't know if this goes here but free remote desktop access is pretty awesome. I just installed it and it runs perfectly on 4g and wifi. Check it out. Don't know how many more hours its free so grab it now

Will there be problems upgrading future versions? I downloaded a few apps when they were free through getjar & now I'm not able to upgrade them through the market.
You can't update them through the market because you didn't get them from the market. I suspect you can update them through get jar. You are able to update apps you get from the amazon market place on the amazon market place.

Yes, you can get the free updates through the Amazon Market. I have gotten 15-20 of the Free App of the Day and several have had updates. Market icon appears in the bar just like google market does.
Good on Amazon for doing this.

+1 you can updates from Amazon App Store. I don't think the Android Market has this version and is exclusive to Amazon for the time being.
Usually Android Market gets the latest updates as devs' updates need to be approved by Amazon so Amazon's App Store usually doesn't get the latest right away. Maybe a couple day afterwards, but this is a good offer.
Got it, used it, works great on the GNex.
Is Google play available in the UK yet? If so, how do I get it? (legit way).
Thanks

Some people have posted they have...Although, I'm in London and haven't yet. I've tried clearing cache and uninstalling updates...
Go on the market and accept the new terms that pop up, then keep opening and closing the market until you get taken to Google Play instead.

I just hope they change the layout for the market like the Apple App store its so much more cleaner and easier to navigate.
I like the whats hot, top 25 sections on the App Store.
I just hope Google changes the layout.
Thanks all. Still don't have play yet but thanks

There is no difference, Just says Google Play at the top Instead of Market, who came up with "Google Play" by the way lol, I received the update earlier on my Xperia Play 2.3.4, I'm in Wales, UK, Sim free.
Well mine still says market, could it be because I still have 2 updates available (which I don't plan to do)?

Hello,
I'm experiencing some issues after using first aide to root my kindle and install Google market.
If I click on shop I now receive an error and same is on offers, nothing gets launched.
Rebooting didn't fix the issue.
Any idea?
I also tried to put Google market as default but got just an error...

Is it Google Play or Market? If its Market, you will get a time out error on a slow network because it will be updating to Play Store. Same goes for an older version of Play Store too. My suggestion for you would be to download the latest Play Store (or a modded one that allows you to bypass their supported device check) and install it. There are a few threads for that around XDA. :good: Good luck
For some reason I could download it on my old nexus 7 but on the new one it says not supported. So did they stop supporting it? I've searched all over Google and all I get is links to the Google store. If anyone has the latest version and could upload it that would be awesome

Hopefully it's just an oversight and they will fix it soon. If not though, it would definitely be nice to have

Install the Amazon AppStore, find the tablet app, uninstall the AppStore.

I thought the apps you download from the Amazon app store are deleted once you uninstall the app store?
Edit* Guess they changed it, that worked!! Thanks for the info

they were never deleted, but they wouldn't work without the amazon app store installed.
would still be nice to have this app if anyone can pull it off and post it. the phone one works fine, this one just worked a little better.

After I installed Google play and updated Google service, now when I try to open the kindle app it just goes to the home screen (adw)
Is this a known issue?

I have Kindle working just fine on my OTA updated US unlocked Fire phone with Google Play Store reinstalled.
Thanks for confirming.
Mine is not rooted... or I forgot... don't use this phone much.
Anyone knows how can I reinstall it? There's no kindle app on Amazon store. Man Amazon really dropped the ball on whatever android experience they were going for... I might just try to install the one from play store
Ah wait, if yours rooted that means you're on a much older version of fire os. Mine was bought late so I have the last version

Hi, gcbxda. My Fire Phone is not rooted. I moved to 4.6.1 a few days ago. Just a shot in the dark - try clearing cache, etc. Go to settings, applications and parental controls, manage applications, set the filter to all, select Bookstore.

My Unlocked 4.6.1 phone has 2 Amazon kindle icons now. App info says Book store ver. 2.2.2000429100 which opens fine and works, and the 2nd is Amazon Kindle ver. 1.5_1357580710 which does nothing like you described. Weird part is the first one has no name under it.
Mine is the same as your first one. It says Books under the icon. I think this one came with the phone, but it may have been automatically updated in Google Play Store.
aha. yeah. i have two icons as well. in pretty sure i never installed from Google store. it must be how the annoying fire home screen works. somehow it needs those two apps and hide from the user... which other launchers do not do.
