Need Amazon's Kindle Fire Edition of the Audible APK

I tried to upgrade my Audible app on my Kindle Fire (running 6.3) using the more recent APK from Google Market/Play and ended up completely breaking the Audible app.
I can't roll the upgrade back because the upgrade overwrote out the Amazon version of the APK.
Does anyone no where I can get these two APKs:
>> AudibleAndroidApplication-venezia.apk
>> AudibleForAndroid-otter-unsigned.apk
I've searched the web and called Amazon customer support and that hasn't helped.

If got it, please tell me, thank you!
Nope -- still trying to get these APKs. Do you have access to them?

I got the 'venezia' APK but installing it alone doesn't work. Guessing I need both. So still hoping someone will have the 'unsigned' APK.

extracted these from the 6.3 stock rom.
Edit: helps if I actually attach them.
THANK YOU!!!

Uh....yeah....Kindle and no books

Since I rooted my Fire I seem to have lost my books and can't seem to fond them anywhere. This is on the Kindle Launcher. And also Twitter closes unexpectedly all the time. Main question here though is how to get my books back in the Kindle Launcher.

Fixed, just completely unrooted my Fire. I still have GameBoid so it's all good.

You couldve just downloaded the kindle app from amazon and all your books are there, including where you left off.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda premium
Yeah, but it's not the same. I bought the Fire over other tablets for the Fire, not the app, I have my phone for that.

Actually that is not true..the kindle app for android screws with your subscription deliveries for Mag's and books. What I did was after root I immediately put root keeper on there and unrooted .. that will help.
When I lost my subset I went into the system > apps folder and reinstalled kindle for otter. Then I ramln a sync and I was downloading my suns again.
My wife bought some subset and books when we first got the kindle fire but when those expire I am going full ice and Ak going to get books and Mags thrum play or Barnes and noble's app and ditch amazon altogether

Good advice here ... thanks. A friend came to me with his KF today saying his books would no longer open (nor did they show a book jacket/title). His KF is/was rooted, but running stock ROM. Found your post and had his books up and running in no time.
Lol dayum! I have since turned my autocorrect OFF...
Heh.. i got that answer from another here by the name of straylight so i must give credit where credit is due but yw

Has anyone got Zynga’s new game Horn to work on the Kindle Fire?

Hey guys I am just trying to see if anyone in the Kindle Fire community has gotten Horn to run and play yet, if you have please let me know your setup? What ROM are you using etc ? I cleared out the 2 gigs required to install the game and installed straight from Google Play Store but with no success. The game says its installs just fine and tries to boot up to a black screen then kicks me out and quits running. I would appreciate any help or tips u can send my way...Thanks in advance

I was going to try it out but yeesh, 7 bucks and 1.8gb?! I don't think I even have that much free space.
Yea I wouldn't recommend jumping in and giving it a try until I can get it running. I already knew it was a pretty good game because I had been playing it on iOS before it launched on Android. I have been checking everyday for an update but so far nothing to speak of. I will update this post if I can ever get it to run. I wouldn't hold my breath however.

ebook lending with ROM

apologies if this has been asked/answered before.
the wife has a kindle fire that i have put CM9 on. and for the most part she is fine with everything.
but she has amazon prime and i guess you can "check out" books for your kindle. but we are having a hard time figuring out how to make that work.
I was able to purchase FREE books and sync them with the kindle app.
but can't seem to get the lending thing down.
any help is appreciated.
thanks!
anybody? nobody reads books on their kindle? lol
Not sure what advice I can give you. I am using a CM10 ROM with a the generic Kindle app for android and I don't have a problem borrowing books. When I am browsing the Kindle book store the books that are available for borrowing (not very many actually) are marked with the "prime" tag just like they are when using a stock Kindle. You may need to be logged in to your prime account to see that but I am not sure since I'm always logged in.

Thanks for the reply - that gives me something to go on..
we would have expected to see what you are seeing, but whenever we press the kindle store icon, it just takes you out to an external web page and its difficult to navigate.
I'll try a clean wipe and install of cm10 tonight and see if that helps
Thanks!

Actually I am seeing the same thing you are getting (the web page). That is the way that the generic android Kindle app works. Unfortunately there is a huge difference between the Kindle app built into the stock Fire os and the android app (stock is much better). I have read several threads by people wanting to install the stock app on a custom ROM but I am not sure if anyone has been successful. You might want to try searching for that.

If you find a way to install the stock reading app post the link please. I want to do it too.

And have you tested this on 8.4.3?
Sent from my Kindle Fire 8.9 HD via T-T Hd
Yes it works, I have had a few reports of it on the 8.9 inch model. Luckily each kindle os works the same way so its easy to patch so it works across all of them without any specific tweaking for any given os.
