Kindle app won't update

[Jim Barr]

I have Google Play installed on my Kindle Fire HD 8 6th gen, and it shows a nice update available, but it won't update. The Amazon app store doesn't show any updates.

Is there a workaround, or do I just have to wait for Amazon to release an update?

I'm surprised that Amazon doesn't provide the update.

Suggestions?

Apparently Amazon has loaded a slightly different version of the Kindle app on Kindle Fire tablets, so the play store version will not update it. No idea why they did that.

It also frustrates me to no end that the Kindle app on Kindle Fire tablets cannot be locked in portrait orientation, while the Kindle app on every other android device can.
