They allow you to communicate with family and friends through social networks, watch videos, as well as perform a variety of tasks. Therefore, it is not surprising that many owners want to install applications on Amazon Kindle Fire 2. This can be done in several ways.

You can launch the installed applications not only through the Play Store, but also from the main screen of Amazon Kindle Fire 2. Removal of third-party programs is also possible both through the Play Store and through the main screen of the smartphone.
