Describe the feature/enhancement

It would be great if the app was available in the Amazon app store. Amazon tablets and Fire TV use their own version of Android with their own app store. They do not include the Google Play store. Amazon do not charge for a developer account and it is easy to upload apps. Many open source apps like Jellyfin are available.

Would you consider uploading the Android app to this store? This would allow it to be used on Amazon tablets etc.

If you are not interested, I would be happy to do this myself although only with your permission! I have several Amazon tablets which I need to keep in kids mode (so sideloading is not possible) and it would be great to use Audiobookshelf on them.

I considered the webapp instead but in the kids mode browser it does not persist auth, even with cookies enabled.

I have an account and tried a long time ago but got rejected without a good reason. I can try again though
