You can download any file you want to a Kindle ereader. Unfortunately, you won't be able to do anything with unsupported formats. As for running a Gameboy Color game? Someone would have to write an emulator for a Z-80 processor and the GBC hardware. You would need a jailbroken Kindle at a minimum to run it.

What I was trying to say is that a Gameboy Color uses a Z-80 CPU plus specialized hardware. You could copy a file to your Kindle using an USB cable but it would do you no good without the emulator to actually run that code on your Kindle's ARM processor. There was one thread a while back about GBC emulator for a Kindle... quick search came up with this thread: [URL="https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=284364"]Gambatte-K - Game Boy Color emulator [/URL from 2017. As the note in the first message says:
