Kindle Fire HD

Wow..that's a bit odd. Not sure why you would need the google play book app.
However, you can get that app on the Kindle Fire HD. I had it for a while...not sure if I still do...so if they haven't changed anything it should still be possible. Here is a forum on how to get the google apps (other than Google Play) onto the Kindle Fire HD _without_ rooting the device.

Before you go through the trouble, I would go to http://community.logos.com/forums/t/64178.aspx and download it from one of the links. They have both the stable and beta versions linked there.
Good luck!

I was just scanning this forum regarding this very same issue. Any luck with getting this fixed?

Larry, did you try downloading Logos Bible App from the forum link above? (http://community.logos.com/forums/t/64178.aspx) I just downloaded Vyrso from that link since Amazon tells me Vyrso isn't compatible with my device (Logos...did you know that?).

Vyrso works just fine on the Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD devices. Amazon simply chooses to not allow the Vyrso app to be installed via their Kindle Fire store app.
There are step by step instructions on how Kindle Fire users can install the Vyrso app. Unfortunately it means the app upgrade process won't be as seamless (you'll need to manually download the updated app and install it when prompted that a new version is available) and the app icon it puts in the Carousel is extremely pixelated. We've asked Amazon if there is anything we can do to the app to get it authorized (i.e. compatible) for Kindle Fire devices but have not been given any steps that can be taken.
The new Verbum app has also not yet been approved for Kindle Fire devices. I'm still hoping it's just taking a while and it will happen eventually since Verbum is more like the other Kindle Fire approved apps (Bible, Biblia, Faithlife) in the resources and features that it offers compared to Vyrso.

I updated the Vyrso stable download page with specific directions for Kindle Fire device users.
From my perspective the Vyrso app is completely compatible with Kindle Fire devices. Amazon simply chooses not to allow Kindle Fire device users to install it. You can install and use the Vyrso app on your Kindle Fire device by following the side-loading instructions posted here: http://vyrso.com/kindle-instructions.
Two pitfalls to side-loading are that the upgrade process is a little more cumbersome and the App icon it puts in the Carousel is pixelated.
If Amazon gets back to me regarding necessary app modifications needed so the Vyrso (and Verbum) apps will be deemed "compatible" with Kindle Fire devices we will do our best to make that happen.

October 2018. Amazon is blocking this link.
Go to https://community.logos.com/forums/t/64178.aspx (on your Fire device)
While the page references build 2.2.10, the link given actually goes to the current stable version.
Fire users may need to go into settings and change to allow installs from unrecognized sites. You will get some security warnings. Do you trust Faithlife?
(If you later get warnings about other apps you install, think 2 or three times before you go ahead. Mistyping a link can get you into some nasty stuff)

The blocked link I referenced is one offered by Gabe Martin in 2012
