This $20 app turns your cheap Kindle into a full Android tablet

The Kindle Fire is a great little cheap tablet, but out of the box it doesn’t run a modern version of Android, doesn’t connect to your Google account, and doesn’t have access to all of Google Play’s million or so apps.

Except mine does.

I have a Kindle Fire in my hands. It’s $150, light, feels great, and has a 1.2Ghz processor and 8GB of storage. And thanks to the magic of a $20 app from N2A OS, it runs a full and complete and modern version of Android and, yes, can download and play Candy Crush Saga.

Essentially, it’s a jailbroken Kindle.
