Kindle Fire, one of Amazon's ambitious products will now allow users to have an even wider array of options to choose for, apart from the books, movies and music, et al that have been there, since always. According to an official announcment, beginning from next week, thousands of Android apps and games will be made available to the users of Kindle Fire. Among the apps and games, which the users will be able to experience on Amazon, include Netflix, Rhapsody, Pandora, Twitter, Comics by comiXology, Facebook, The Weather Channel and popular games from Zynga, EA, Gameloft, PopCap and Rovio. 

 

It's finally official

Now with apps and games, too

 

 

 

The announcement further states that users need not register themselves multiple times to download the apps. They could do so by using Amazon's 1-Click Payment technology, instead. The official statement further adds that in order to give the users the best possible experience of the apps offered on Kindle Fire, Amazon have already tested them before on the tablet. Further, it is being learnt that once a certain app gets downloaded from the Amazon App Store, users can avail the same app on their Kindle Fire and other Android devices.
