LDS Tech has published an article that explains how to get the LDS mobile applications onto a Kindle Fire, Nook Color, Nook Tablet, or a generic Android tablet.
The Android applications will work on these devices, but it takes a few steps to get them loaded, since they are only available in the Google Android Market and these devices can’t access the market place directly.
Until the Church is able to distribute the applications through alternative markets, you can install them through a process called Sideloading. The article “Android sideloading” explains how to do this.

I’m so appreciative now being able to download these LDS apps on my Kindle Fire. They are the only apps that I wanted to instal but until now have not been available for the Kindle.
Thank you, thankyou, thank you!

Just a further comment by way of a question; The Gospel Library App for Android doesn’t have a speach option as it does for iPad & iPod – just askin!
Also, the Tools App doesn’t have the calendar as it does for the iPod & iPad. This is an important omission for me.
Is there any chance that the 2 items noted above will be included at some stage in the Android Apps?
Still a very happy camper nevertheless.

Rob,
Audio playback will be available for scriptures, general conference, manuals, and magazines in April in the Gospel Library app. Until then, you could use the Mormon Channel app, which offers audio of scriptures, general conference and magazines today.
The Calendar should be available on LDS Tools for Android in March.
Are there scriptures somewhere for the kindle (not fire)? I have a free Book of Mormon from Amazon but you cannot you the button to go forward and backward by chapter for some reason. Hard to keep up in Sunday school. Just curious if there is something out there that I don’t know about.
Thanks!
