This worked beautifully - thanks so much for the tip. What I did was I used Astro on my Xoom to backup my apps into a directory I knew I could access from my PC when the Xoom was connected to it. I then connected the Kindle Fire and copied the files into the download directory. After that, I used the Quickoffice app on the Kindle (which was preinstalled) to "run" the files, which caused them to install. Since one of the apps I copied over was dropbox, I won't have to go through this gyration again - I can just copy stuff to download using Astro and the upload via dropbox. Sadly, the Kindle Fire seems to be a better squeezebox controller and player than an eReader.
