Introduction
You might have purchased your Kindle Fire primarily to read books
and watch movies, but the device you hold in your hands can do
so much more. After you connect to the Internet and register the
Kindle Fire with your Amazon.com account, you’ll quickly fill it with
books, periodicals, music, videos, apps, and games. You’ll use it to
browse the Web. You’ll even add your own photos and personal
documents, making your Kindle Fire uniquely yours.
That’s not to say that the Kindle Fire isn’t good for reading. You’ll
have access to millions of books on Amazon.com and other web-
sites; many of them are free or cost $2.99 or less. You can borrow
books from your local library. When reading is inconvenient, such as
when you’re driving, you can even have your Kindle Fire read to you,
either with an audiobook or using text-to-speech. You’re also not
limited to books; you can read magazines and newspapers, as well.
The Kindle Fire is primarily intended for consuming content—that
is, for reading, listening, or watching. Much of that content is stored
in the cloud, on Amazon’s servers, and you access it over a Wi-Fi or
4G connection. Even if you download content to your device, at
which point it becomes device content, a copy stays in the cloud so
