Kindle Fire Challenges: Getting those Apps using GetJar

After receiving a Kindle Fire a month ago, I managed to successfully install those games my children has been yapping about– Angry Birds, Angry Birds Rio and others. So its not Words for Friends anymore– there’s more.

Thanks to numerous dissatisfied Kindle Fire users, and numerous hours of reading android forums including that of Amazon, I managed to stumble on this article. Installing getjar was not hard. It does not require alot of ninja moves (side loading). All you have to do is navigate to: http://m.getjar.com/ and download the application itself. You will find the application by checking the download area of your Kindle Fire’s Silk browser. Install this– oh, you will need to allow 3rd party installations first. Navigate through the settings of your Kindle and allow.

Once you have installed GetJar, you can install whatever application is available on GetJar.

Here’s a list of my favorite apps via GetJar:

1- Angry Birds Seasons

2- Angry Birds Rio

3- Angry Birds

4- Classic Notes

5- Spring Pad

6- Fruit Ninja
