I recall one apk did not load for me, but I was able to get google play and now i have access to all those apps, my gmail, my google calendar, and google and google voice search. Do this for each apk the above site suggests. Hit the power button once to put the fire in sleep mode then wake it back up (getting rid of the offer if needed) and now the install button is available. What most sites and videos do not tell you is what to do when the word 'install' doesn't light up or respond to your touch (thanks to a comment on youtube, i found this answer). of the four google apk's you will need to install are then a shortcut away. Most of them will tell you to start you must go to Settings and then Security and allow apps from unknown sources, do it! I do not suggest you try to follow these videos beyond that (do continue to watch, though, to learn what you will be doing next), instead simply search install Google Play on kindle fire and there will be options in the fire's silk browser. There are lots of you tube videos that will help, merely search for how to 'install google play on amazon fire' there and pick a video or two to get an idea of what to do. It is fairly easy, with some 'secret' information, to get google play onto a fire. You can download any app from the amazon app store, yes, but google play is not available there and i really wanted some of my google apps, among others.
