Amazon kicks off from the Fire OS almost everything that’s related to Google. And that makes a huge difference.

Amazon’s App Store offers “Google Keep,” “Google Docs,” or “Google Photos” but they are not mobile apps developed by Google. They are web instances of these services – not a good solution for a dedicated user of Google services.
If you use only the most popular Google services, like Gmail or Calendar, you can still connect these services to the Fire’s native mail and calendar app.
For a more advanced integration with Google services, you will need to sideload the Google Play Store to your Amazon Fire. It doesn’t sound like the most convenient solution.
