Get an Amazon Fire Tablet. I'm posting this with one. It lets me sideload
 anything from anywhere. Course its older Android fork won't run everything
 new but that's not been a big problem for me. I can usually find a
 workaround. And it runs some of my older stuff that newer Android won't
 (like my old Groundhog newsreader). I sideloaded the Play Store so it plus
 the Amazon Appstore have apps aplenty to choose from. Just hoping that
 Amazon doesn't take Google's lead and screw things up...
