BEWARE: The new fire stick select now uses Amazon's homegrown Vega OS which doesn't support sideloading.
Pay a little extra for the Max version. Base models suck.

Beware - Amazon is locking down newer fire sticks - you might not be able to sodelod apps
On devices running Vega OS (like the Fire TV Stick 4K Select released in late 2025), Amazon explicitly states that only apps from the official Amazon Appstore can be downloaded.
