That's right, even if the app can handle a certain type of files, if it 
doesn't offer, you can't force it be the handler.

You'd probably have to look at the manifest files inside the APK files 
for the browser app, likely it has defined "intents" such as 
ACTION_VIEW, if you then installed chrome and it defined the same 
intent(s), then the device would then ask whether you wanted the native 
browser or chrome to open URLs.

Back to your kindle problem, is there no way to import the folder of 
eBooks into the kindle app, rather than trying to launch them from a 
file explorer?
