App For Kindle Fire

Is there an app for Kindle Fire to access MyBook? The apps work for Android cellphones but they do not seem to be avaialble for Kindle Fire even though it is based on Android.

The Kindle Fire OS is based on Android, but has been customized beyond recognition and most of the Android Market apps are incompatible. I don’t think WD will make an update just to support the specific operating system of a specific device, if anything, Amazon should add a general Android compatibility layer to allow the tablet to behave like an Android tablet instead of an Amazon tablet.

This will allow most apps that are meant to work on Android 2.3 to work on the Kindle Fire.
