If you got ES File Explorer from Amazon's app store, you have a

ES is still in my Amazon Appstore account library but I haven't
installed or used it in a long time.

Or, maybe Amazon is just eliminating access to their app store on
non-Amazon devices.  Maybe you can still access their app store
using their store app on Amazon devices (e.g., Fire tablets nee
Kindle).

I'm not wasting money and time on a Fire tablet to find out after the
cutoff date.

Well if you change your mind It's relatively easy to load the Google
Play Store on an Amazon Fire tablet. It then becomes like most other
Android tablets. I've used such a modified 10" Amazon Fire tablet for
awhile now and find it superior to others its price range. But then I
digress...

The app is not available at Google's Play Store.  It never came
back. Looks like Amazon is dropping access to their Android app store
to users on non-Amazon devices.  The app author doesn't even point to
 the Amazon app store.  So, for me, there is no point in wasting time
 retesting this app of dubious reputation that will soon be
unavailable except at a dubious download source by a site that
doesn't use a site cert.

I won't miss ES since I no longer use it. I was just pointing out that
Amazon apparently wasn't as paranoid as Google in keeping ES in its
store even after all the bad publicity. Question is, is that a good
thing or a bad thing...
