That's good enough for me for now but if I want to add any more apps later I'll move them over to USB after installation as well. After moving these apps I recovered about 600M of internal space, taking my available space up from about 800M of 4.27GB to 1.41GB.

My guess is you'd need root access to move any apps installed by the system this way. I also tried moving the IMDB TV app, which is non-removable bloatware, but it just wouldn't move. Likewise for Popcornflix, also installed from the Fire Appstore. it too moved easily and ran perfectly afterwards. I tried it next for Netflix which was installed from the Fire AppStore.

If you click on it there you can use the FireOS UI to move it back to internal storage, you don't need ADB again for this. After you move it the app will appear in 'Manage Installed Applications' in the FireOS Settings as installed to USB. I tried it an it worked perfectly for Total Commander.

The article then goes on to tell you how to use ADB to move an app you have already installed in internal memory to the USB memory even if not explicitly declared as USB installable. After it tells you how to make the FS4K accept the USB stick as system storage it talks about how an app can't normally be moved to USB memory if the developer hasn't explicitly declared that it can be (this is an Android thing. I remembered that I had seen a possible solution in an article about forcing a Firestick 4K to use a USB stick as internal storage even though it normally won't.
