Reading Google eBooks on a Kindle Fire entails sideloading the Indiebound Reader App (which also works for the Nook, Android, iPhone, and iPad -- you can find the app in your device's app store).
The Kindle app is available for most major smartphones, tablets and computers. That means you can buy a Kindle book once, and read it on any device with the Kindle app. You can also read that same Kindle book on a Kindle device if you own one.
