The really interesting question for mobile devs and Android aficionados -- does it also run all Android apps that 4.2.2 runs?

Resubmitting to Amazon's App Store -- OK. Redeveloping for some "Fire OS" -- nope, thanks..




> does it also run all Android apps that 4.2.2 runs?

This very much depends on your definition of Android. If you have used any Google Play Services (or any Google-backed APIs within Android itself, prior to migration to Play Services) you will need to switch them over to Amazon's equivalents (where they exist).

Since Google is heavily pushing Play Services to developers, chances are many apps will need to have some changes made to them to enable Kindle Fire support.
