I was contacted by a customer yesterday who was having trouble installing PocketBible for Android on her Kindle Fire HD. When she first contacted me I don’t think she realized her Kindle was even an Android device, and she certainly wasn’t familiar with the concept of installing third-party apps except through the app store built into the Kindle. The instructions below got her up and running right away. You may not have a Kindle Fire HD, but the instructions should work in general for any Android device.
You need to make sure you’ve enabled “third party apps” on your Kindle. Go to Settings and look for “Device” (it may be in the “More…” menu). Look for “Allow Installation of Applications” and turn it on. You’ll get a warning message but that’s OK – they’re just trying to scare you into only buying software from Amazon. 
Once you’ve done that, just go to the Web browser on the Kindle and type in this:
http://LPB.cc/Android
PocketBible should automatically download. On some devices, you’ll be prompted to install the app but on the Kindle you may have to tap the notification number next to your name in the upper left corner of the screen. You will then see a list of notifications. One of them should say something like com.laridian.pocketbible or pocketbible.apk and “download complete”. Select that one.
You’ll be asked if you want to install PocketBible and it will ask if you want to allow PocketBible to use network communications and some other things. Choose the “install” button and when it’s done choose “open”.
Once PocketBible is installed you can choose it from the carousel like any other program. The PocketBible icon will look “blurry” but that’s OK — Amazon uses low-resolution icons for third-party apps because they’re upset that you didn’t give them any money to run the software on their device, so they want to make you think there’s something less than professional about our app. Don’t worry about that.
Many thanks for your very prompt help. This worked very easily
Best wishes

I had My Bible on my Palm T5. I got a Kindle Fire HD for Christmas. There was nothing on the Amazon site. I was so happy to see you had an alpha version on your site.
1. You should also include the non-Google link in all updates. The Google apps and store do not play well with Amazon. I had to really dig around on the web site to find the direct link to install version 1.
2. A lot of people probably don’t realize that the Kindle is really an Android device. You should provide some additional information about installing on Kindle. As above, I had to really dig around on the site and in the blog archive to learn how to install this on my new Kindle.
I very much enjoyed My Bible on the Palm and am so happy that I can use Pocket Bible on my Kindle too. Thanks for all the effort you have done to make a great Bible reader.

John,
The product page for PocketBible for Android at our site (http://www.laridian.com/catalog/products/PCDAPBPGM.asp) has the non-Google-Play link.
We eventually plan to have PocketBible available at the Kindle store. In the meantime, you can always install the latest version by simply going to LPB.cc/Android in the browser on your device.
