Instead, you'll have to browse the App Store and then have the app URL emailed to your phone (it just asks you for an e-mail address so no phone necessary).

Handango: This is a pretty solid offering, located at, but unfortunately you can't download APKs directly from the App Store to your Kindle Fire.

Opera: Living at is Opera's own App Store.

GetJar: One that I've been finding particularly useful is GetJar.

There are plenty of App Stores out there, and once you perform Step 1, they're all available for the browsing and downloading.
