Access to Kindle Fire devices outside of USA

We are not based in USA. Can we get a 'pre-release' device that works properly in Europe so we can actually test apps on real devices that are going to work as consumers will experiance them ?

Hi, We have just released an emulator for Kindle Fire, available via the Mobile App Distribution portal. You can find additional information regarding the emulator at: https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/emulator-guide.html Our FAQ also speaks to devices for development and testing purposes: Q: Are Kindle Fire test devices available for developers? Unfortunately we are not able to provide test devices for developers at this time. Kindle Fire is available for purchase at www.amazon.com/kindlefire and is available to ship immediately. We recommend that you review the device technical specifications for Kindle Fire. Also, to help developers test their apps, the Kindle Fire Development Resources include a Kindle Fire emulator add-on. The add-on can be installed via the Android SDK Manager and is pre-configured to emulate the Kindle Fire device specifications. See Using the Kindle Fire Emulator for details on how to install and use the Kindle Fire emulator add-on. Note that you need to log in to your distribution portal account to access this information. Thanks, Chirag

You can find plenty of Kindle Fires on Ebay; then you'll have your USA amazon developer account and your good. Should you need to test based on USA GEO IP then get your router enabled with VPN (e.g. DD-WRT) and use a commercial service like www.hideipvpn.com to appear in USA or if have a MAC you can share your internet connection (VPN) via Wifi to the Kindle.
