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?
