Amazon Fire tablets rank among the best cheap tablets around; they're lightweight, durable, and come with quite a few useful apps. However, unlike other Android tablets, Fire slates don’t (officially) have access to the Google Play Store, so you can’t download many new apps.
The Google Play Store is a staple of the Android experience and your gateway to the world's best Android apps. Amazon Fire tablets only let you download from a curated list of apps – a far smaller selection than the Play Store offers – so many people choose to side-load the Play Store onto their Amazon devices.
