How to Sideload Apps on Kindle Fire Tablets
While the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX is an amazing device, the app selection for it is somewhat limited compared to other devices. Since it's Android-based, though, you can quickly and easily perform a process known as "sideloading" where you load apps (like browsers, music apps and more) onto your Kindle Fire HDX using nothing more than your computer and a few minutes of your time.
In this book by bestselling author Charles Tulley, you'll learn exactly how to sideload apps onto your Kindle Fire HDX with the help of step-by-step instructions from beginning to end along with detailed screenshots that guide you the entire way.

Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 owner
Great, simple, short book that guides HD &/or HDX users through the process of "sideloading" non-Amazon APK'S (apps) onto an Amazon affiliated device (HD & HDX only in this book). Easy, well-planned steps are simple even without an abundance of computer knowledge/terminology.
Recommend this book to anyone interested in obtaining an apk that isn't available through Amazon.

Good info but...
if you are a novice and you need beginner info then this is the book for you. but if you are past the rookie stage you will need more advanced info.

Waste of money
I found this book to be no more informative than a Google article. Save your money. Doesn't even have a list of chapters or index.

Clear Instructions
Mr. Tilley provides a clear explanation of what sideloading is and gives clear step by step instructions on how to do so. Since Amazon does not guarantee the apps it advertises in its App Store, you may as well go outside the Amazon Empire to download what you need/want as long as you are reasonably certain the site/app is safe. Mr. Tilley also provides instructions for removing the apps from your Kindle Fire. Basically, he does what the title claims.

Good overview
The author presents a good overview on railroading on a Kindle Fire HD/HDX, I was personally hoping for more specific information on apps that I've been having trouble with.

Truly easy instructions for side loading apps
Very user friendly directions, along with very good websites for further investigation. Definitely a good read if you want to install apps that are not from Amazon.
