Updated blog articles on installing non-Amazon apps and making Flash work on Year 2012-2015 Amazon tablets

Just an alert to newsfeed and Kindle Blog Edition readers

While working on a blog article on recent minor Amazon feature changes and additions toward the end of the year, I updated two blog articles to make them usable for Year 2015 Fire Tablet users who find they need to use an app that's not in the Amazon app store and want a guide to how that is done as well as those who might need to use non-working Flash on some sites.


  As a result I updated the following two articles, but blog newsfeeds (such as Feedly or NewsBlur) are not updated to show these articles as recent if they were first put online some time ago, even if they are updated from time to time after new lines of devices are released.


1. How to install Google play apps (non-Amazon apps) on a Kindle Fire HD / HDX. The reviewer Myth that the Kindle Fire tablets use only Amazon apps. UPDATED May 11, 2014, Jan 3, 2015, Dec 22, 2015

2. How to Install Flash on Kindle Fire HDX/HD, Yr 2013-2014 models and Yr2015 Fire tablets. Step-by-Step guide on How to Play Flash video on Flash-intensive websites. Several tips on streaming video. Large update 1/9/15, smaller update 12/22/15.

Notice to feed-readers re an updated blog entry for installing and playing NON-Amazon (Google Play apps) on Kindle Fire tablets (basic, HD, HDX)

This is a brief entry just to alert feed-reader users (using sites like Feedly.com) that the Kindle Fire HD/HDX Guide to installing and playing NON-Amazon apps (finding Google-Play apps that we can download direct -- NO 'side-loading' necessary) has an update to point out that the settings-location for allowing installation of NON-Amazon apps was moved to another settings category when they released the updated Kindle Fire tablets (HDX line, HD 2nd Generation) at the end of year 2013.

See updated entry for how to fix that.  (The feeds don't all pick up revised blog entries as current ones, and Feedly.com doesn't.  [Correction, this time it DID, but I'll keep this for any other feeds that don't carry these forward -- Thanks to Feedly for changing the process to include updated versions of older entries.]

Thanks to blog commenter Boyd for pointing out that Amazon moved the settings-location for allowing installation of non-Amazon apps
