- Installing flash on Android 4.2 and later requires side-loading and isn't oficially supported by Adobe.

- Enabling Flash in Dolphin on Android 4.2 and later requires editing text files deep in the file system using something like ES Explorer and a text editor.

- Getting Amazon to see Dolphin as desktop Chrome/IE/Firefox requires changing the User Agent in the Dolphin settings (probably the easiest step).

- Navigating and viewing will be done from the desktop version of the Amazon site, so no touch optimization.
It's not a particular daunting task for anyone who tinkers with Android, but for anyone whose response is "what is flash", "what is a file explorer", or "what is a user agent" then I would say it probably isn't a straight-forward process.
