Third-Generation Kindle Fire HD Gets Bootloader Unlock Tool

The Kindle Fire HD is a fairly nicely built tablet with some decent hardware that won't break your bank account. The device runs a modified build of Android called Fire OS and does not come with any Google Play Services. Although you can sideload Google Apps, you're still stuck on Fire OS. Thankfully, XDA Member spudowiar has released a bootloader unlock method which will hopefully open the floodgates for custom ROM development.
