How do I get Amazon apps?

[Copernikus]

I have a stock Atrix. Only thing I have done outside the allowed stuff ATT allows is used the AC_SWM to install the Amazon app store. So I am able to get the deal of the day but can not install them. I get the usual message about not being able to load 3rd party. What do I do to actually install the apps from Amazon store?

I believe you have to root the phone then enable side loading for it to function correctly.

I connect my phone to my PC via, get the apk files from \Android\data\com.amazon.venezia\cache, and use adb (or Sideload Wonder Machine) to install the apk. I didn't want to root my phone, so I have to do it the multistep process, but I'm ok with that.

OK Looks like you did what I want to ,but sorry I lost yaa, "connect my phone to my PC via" ? and "get the apk files from \Android\data\com.amazon.venezia\cache"
I have the Sideload Wonder Machine on my PC but I dont follow where to go to get the apk files for the apps from the Amazon store.

If you connect the phone to the PC using a USB cable and mount it as Mass Storage, you'll have a drive letter for the internal storage on the Atrix. You can then navigate to that drive ( say E: ) and go to E:\android\data\com.amazon.venezia\cache. All of the apk files from Amazon that are downloaded (but not yet installed) will be there.

Great. Thanks for breaking it down. Will give it a try.
