With the new Kindle Fire software update, you can now browse to the Google Android Market website. Does this mean you can now install Android Market apps to the Kindle Fire over the web? Not exactly, because there’s no simple way to associate the Kindle Fire with a Google account, which is how Google’s web-based Android Market links to devices. Regardless, this step was the right one for Amazon to take because it allows people to see what Android apps Google does offer, and it no longer hijacks the web page a user wants to view.
