Help Can Amazon Underground be installed on an Android tablet?

Hi everyone. I have a Nexus 7 (2013) and a Kindle Fire ($50), and even though the Nexus is better in pretty much every way, I find myself using the Fire more because of the free games on Underground.

I was looking into how to install Google services on the Fire, and then the question occurred to me, couldn't I just install the Amazon app store on my Nexus? Or is Underground something different that Amazon only allows on Fire tablets? Are there any issues with doing it, such as compatibility? Or is this the best of both worlds (Android and Underground) that I think it is?

Thanks!
John
 
Now I feel bad for my Fire. Not sure what I'll use it for if I can get the free games on my Nexus.

Yep I would too. I love my N7 (2013 version) - still handles everything I can throw at it (albeit I'm a serial flash-aholic so it's rooted with a custom rom and kernel on there) and for me the 7" form factor is the perfect size. I hate the fact that stuff keeps creeping up to larger sizes - I want a phone that fits in my pocket and has a decent battery life, and a tab that isn't like lugging another laptop around :mad: (resolution - let's just not go there).

So yeah, time to off-load the kindle ;)

I completely agree about size. In fact, my only (slight) complaint about the Nexus is that it's a little long. Good for holding when watching videos, but otherwise sightly awkward.
