How to Install Amazon Apps on Android Tablet

Installing Amazon apps on an Android tablet gives you quick access to shopping, Kindle books, Prime Video, Amazon Music, and more. Most tablets support these apps through the Google Play Store, but you can also use the Amazon Appstore or sideload APKs when needed.

Below, you’ll find the easiest methods with step-by-step instructions and fixes for common installation problems.

1) Install Amazon apps through Google Play

Tap the Play Store icon on the home screen and sign in with your Google account if needed. Next, tap the search bar at the top and type the name of the app you want, such as Amazon Shopping, Kindle, Prime Video, or Amazon Music.

Now, select the correct listing and tap Install. Open the app once the installation finishes, sign in with your Amazon account and adjust notification and permissions settings as needed.

2) Install the Amazon Appstore on your tablet

Open your tablet’s browser, go to the Official Amazon Appstore, and download the installer file. Next, go to Settings > Apps or Security on your tablet and enable Install unknown apps for your browser. Now, go to the Downloads option on your browser and tap the APK file to start installation.

Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation. Lastly, open the Amazon Appstore, sign in, and install any app of your choice.

3) Install Amazon apps via APK sideloading

Download the APK version of the Amazon app you need from a trusted site and save it to your tablet’s Downloads folder. Then go to Settings → Apps → Special access on your tablet and enable Install Unknown apps for your File Manager.

Now, tap the APK and complete installation. Finally, open the app to verify it launches correctly and sign in with your Amazon account.

4) Install Amazon apps on tablets without Google Play

This applies to older Android tablets and some models from Huawei or regional brands.

• Use the Amazon Appstore as your main marketplace: Install the Amazon Appstore and download Amazon Shopping, Kindle, Prime Video, and other apps directly.
• Use APK sideloading as fallback: If the Appstore fails to install, use APK sideloading. Confirm compatibility by trying an older APK version when needed.

5) How to update Amazon apps on Android

Apps installed through Google Play update automatically while apps installed via the Amazon Appstore update inside the Appstore’s Updates section.

However, sideloaded apps must be updated manually by downloading a newer APK.

6) How to uninstall and reinstall Amazon apps

Reinstalling often fixes crashes, login problems, or slow performance. Open Settings → Apps → Amazon app name. Next, tap Uninstall. Finally, install again through your preferred method.

7) Troubleshooting installation errors on Amazon apps

• App not compatible with your device: Update your Android version if possible, try installing through the Amazon Appstore, and use an older APK version when the latest release doesn’t support your tablet.
• Install blocked or stuck at 0%: Clear Play Store and Play Services cache, switch to a stronger Wi-Fi connection, and restart your tablet and retry.
• Can’t sign in to Amazon account: Clear the Amazon app’s cache and data, disable VPN or proxy settings, and ensure two-factor authentication codes arrive on time.
