Amazon Publishing - Which version from the GS Pub Portal do I upload to Amazon?

There is some confusion on my end. In the publishing portal on GS, there is the Amazon Kindle build and the Android Build section. If I am targeting GameCircle on both Kindle and Android Devices, do I upload both binaries generated in both sections of the GS Pub Portal?

I ask because when I upload my kindle version to Amazon, the "Device Support" section for one binary will only let me check "All non-Amazon Android devices based on my manifest" but a couple nights ago I uploaded the same Kindle version I could only check all of the Kindle Options...and the "All non-Amazon Android devices based on my manifest" was disabled and I couldn't check it.

Do I upload both Android and Kindle .apks? Sorry for the multiple questions, I'm doing this all for the first time and I'm pretty confused.

    I believe you just need the android version. It will cover ALL android devices including kindle. Although I am getting a game circle error using that one. Still waiting for support.

    Thats exactly what I'm getting. Invalid API Key...I think it just needs to be approved so the security profile is authenticated.

    I've uploaded both versions, kindle and Android...we'll see what happens I guess. But still would love to know exactly what to upload.

    I guess it makes sense that if you are strictly targeting kindle, to upload only the kindle version.

    For Amazon you upload the unsigned APK. No need to sign it.

    Amazon does their own signing because they include a DRM system for copy protection.
