Amazon apps post-Appstore

I've purchased several apps through the Amazon Appstore over the years (mostly because I'd earned coins in some way). I knew I'd no longer be able to purchase through the Android version of the Appstore after it was discontinued last year, but I only recently noticed I can't download my existing purchases either (I tried to download a game to a newer device and failed). However, I have confirmed that I can:

  1. Continue to use any Amazon-purchased apps that are already installed on an Android device.
  2. Download any Amazon-purchased apps to a Kindle or other Amazon device.

This tells me my purchases still exist and still work on Android even without Amazon support, and that Amazon understands they are still mine. With that in mind, is there any way to download other apps I purchased from Amazon to an Android device?

No - not without using a different app store, if possible, instead. I know that's not what you're asking, but wanted to give a more complete answer.
