Introduction
• An 8-megapixel rear-facing camera on the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9” to capture
photos of the world around you. Both Kindle Fire HDX models have a
front-facing camera to facilitate video chatting.
• Improved position of power and volume control buttons to make it easi-
er to adjust the volume on your device while holding it.
• A “Mayday” button in the Settings screen offering 24/7 live support from
Amazon. This feature is available only on the Kindle Fire HDX models.
• Prime Instant Videos available offline. If you have an Amazon Prime
membership, you can now download Prime Instant Video movies and TV
shows onto your Kindle Fire to view later offline.
• Better content management. The Kindle Fire identifies items that have
not been used recently and offers the option of archiving them to the
cloud to free up space on your device.
• Better app management. You can switch between multiple apps or con-
tent with a side-swipe gesture.
All Kindle Fire models come with a free month of Amazon Prime, if you don’t
already have an account. Amazon Prime offers unlimited streaming of more
than 25,000 movies and TV shows, making it easy to watch a show wher-
ever you have Wi-Fi (or 4G) access. Prime also lets you borrow one free title
a month from the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library. And if you shop for other
products on Amazon.com, you can get free two-day shipping on most items
as part of your Prime membership.
What You’ll Find in This Book
The Kindle Fire is a tablet computer for people who aren’t necessarily com-
puter geeks and who just want to be entertained, read a good book, or have
fun—and might have the occasional need to get some work done. My Kindle
Fire HDX was written with that same mindset. I show you how to get the most
fun out of your Kindle Fire HDX and teach you how to access your personal
documents when you need to work. However, if you are a computer geek
who is new to the Kindle Fire, this book can help you as well.
This book covers all the capabilities of your Kindle Fire. I cover each feature
using a step-by-step approach, complete with figures that correspond to
each step. You never have to wonder what or where to tap. Each task shows
you how to interact with your Kindle Fire using simple symbols that illustrate
what you should do.
