I'm surprised that Paypal retired the Amazon Fire version of their app since the Amazon Fire Tablets run a modified version of Google Android which has the Amazon App Store, and Amazon apps like Prime, Amazon eBook store, etc. I wonder can Amazon Fire users can still sideload the Android version of the Paypal app into the Fire Tablets. You can also install the Google Play store on the Amazon Fire tablets by sideloading the Google Play and Services app, or installing a custom ROM on the Fire tablet.
I think Amazon retiring the Paypal for Blackberry is not a huge deal since newer Blackberry phones like the Blackberry Priv uses Google Android as the operating system, and more Blackberry Android phones will be released in the future.
This is disappointing for Windows Phone users who use the WP Paypal app because they can't sideload or install the Android version of the App from the Google Play store, and Paypal will most likely not re-release the Windows Phone Paypal app in the future.
