I just added the Google Play store to my old Kindle Fire 7 5th generation. It was super easy and it actually worked!
Here's how I did it:
Make sure you have a Kindle Fire 7 5th generation by going to Settings, Device Options, Device Model
If Device Model says Fire(5th Generation), then do the following:
Go to Settings, Security & Privacy, click Apps from Unknown Sources to allow the installation of non Amazon appstore apps
Open the Silk browser
Click on this link to download and install the Google Account Manager APK
When that is finished,
Click on this link to download and install the Google Services Framework APK
When that is finished,
Click on this link to download and install the Google Play Services APK
When that is finished,
Click on this link to download and install the Google Play Store APK
For each of the above links, click the Download button on each page. The apk will download. Click the Open button. Click Next until you get to Install. Click Install. The APK will then install. Proceed to the next link and do the same thing.
When all 4 APK's have been downloaded and installed, there should be a Google Play Store app on your Kindle.
You will have to log in to your Google account. After that you can download apps like you would on an Android device. This works because the Kindle's Fire operating system is based on Android.
So far I have installed Ebay and Etsy on my Kindle Fire 7. They both work great!
