AMAZON KINDLE FIRES --- TIPS FOR BEGINNERS
May 3, 2014
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. WHAT IS A KINDLE FIRE?
Tablet: The Kindle Fire is a tablet computer. “Tablets are the perfect choice for a take-it-with you, do-
all, device, good for e-mail, Web surfing, action games and more. Displays are crisp and bright enough
for you to enjoy movies, books, magazines, etc.” (Consumer Reports, August 2012, page 38.)
Compare Kindle Fires: Go to Exhibit A for detailed information.
Wi-Fi: All Kindle Fires access information via "wireless fidelity". The term refers to certain kinds of
wireless local area networks, or WLAN (as opposed to LAN, or computers that are networked together
with wires). At home, you will need a modem to update information. WI-Fi is available free at most
public buildings, hotels and restaurants.
4G: Some Kindle Fires are available with 4G LTE capability. This refers to the fourth generation of
mobile telephony (that is, cellular) technology. 4G requires an extra charge subscription from AT&T or
Verizon.
