Depends on what you mean by "work". You can no longer get all the free 
Amazon Prime stuff, but that's basically free book "rentals" (which I 
wasn't super interested in, as I don't want to read books on a Kindle 
Fire) and free movies/TV shows, which (again) I don't want to do on the 
Kindle Fire, and which I can do on my PS3.

You still have a Kindle app, the Amazon app store apps, etc. Just like any 
other Android device.

I did make a backup before I flashed an Android ROM, too, so I could 
always go back to the Kindle software.
