What version of Android does Kindle 1st Gen run on?

I am using Amazon Maps SDK which requires API 13. I am wondering about the following

What version of android does the kindle first gen run on, are there updates for it since its released on version 10?

Will my app requiring min api level 13 be available for the first gen kindle fire on the market?
