If you are willing to take a bit of a risk, you can turn Kindle Fire 7 into pretty much a normal android phone free of charge.

Thanks for that. Having persuaded some friends of the joys of the Chromecast, one of them then went and bought a Kindle something-or-other (hdx?). I was quite annoyed to discover that the version of the BBC iplayer on the Amazon appstore did not support Chromecast, and spent some time jumping through hoops to try to get it to work, with only partial success (I think I managed to get access to the Google appstore, but still couldn't get the proper version of iplayer to work, for reasons I've now forgotten).

The more radical approach looks promising, but I'm not sure I want to risk it on somebody else's account!

The guide I wrote is for kindle fire 7. Similar guides on web for hd models. The guides are safe generally unless unless you decide to root tablet - then care is needed.
