Amazon devices only allow you to download apps from the Amazon store by default; however, with a little effort, you can install Google Play on a Kindle Fire to exponentially increase the number of apps you have access to.

Installing apps outside of the Amazon store can expose your device to viruses and malware. Consider downloading a security app like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware before you begin.
