Apr 17, 2013 05:35 PM EDT by Molly Klinefelter, LAPTOP Assistant Editor  

While the Kindle Fire doesn’t come with the Google Play store and its more than 800,000 apps, it does offer Amazon’s selection of almost as many useful programs. Whether you’re looking for an awesome game, a way to organize your email or a streaming radio service, you’ll be overwhelmed by all the choices in the Kindle Store. Fortunately, you don’t have to go it alone. Here are our top 10 picks. 

Pulse News (Free)

Do your eyes glaze over as you gaze upon headline after headline on your traditional RSS reader? Pulse News offers a tidy alternative, slurping up your favorite feeds and reorganizing them into a layout of neat boxes arranged by source. Tap the refresh icon in the upper right corner of each row to get new content, or scroll through the list of stories by panning to the right.

Pulse curates your news by prepackaged topic (Art & Design, News & Analysis, Science, Sports, etc.), or you can choose from the directory of sources to add your favorite sites to this visual mini-reader. Consider the wealth of sharing options and the ability to beam longer pieces to Read It Later—and you’ll realize that this app is a must-download.

    I’d add ArkMC to the list. It allows me to control all dlna devices in my home, watch movies from NAS on Kindle, control TV, stream YouTube from Lindle to TV.

    There are a lot of apps on google play that you can’t find on the amazon app store. You have to either sideload them, a tedious process, or you can download them directly from sites like freefireapps.net. Download the app directly to your Kindle the run the file to install the program.
