Hey guys - I'm looking to root a Kindle HD6 and reinstall a base Android OS on it, and then start re-installing my apps from the Google Play store rather than the captive Kindle options.
I can find all sorts of explanations online, but does anyone have a particular process they prefer or trust more than the others?
background -
I've got a new HD7 that just came in (long story, I got it for $20) so I'm looking to convert the old one to a base Android tablet.
Thanks
bump

If you would have got a Nook, you could install apps from Google Play store. Another reason Kindle sucks. >:D
I've had both a Nook and a Kindle, and much prefer the Kindle. Maybe the Nook has gotten better over the years, though.

If I had gotten a Nook, I would've paid for it myself, since the first one was a gift, and the second a $20 replacement when the gift stopped working.
