Synopsis
This book is for people who want to get the most from the latest in tablet technology. The Kindle Fire is Amazon’s premiere tablet, and Amazon supports the device with access to a large music and video store, a growing app store, a massive library of e-books, and a large customer database complete with stored credit card information for fast, one-click buying. The Kindle Fire is the new tablet to beat. There is a compelling draw to such technology, and an obvious popularity.
This book documents each feature, approaching it from the point of view that the online support and documentation is lacking. All topics for the Kindle Fire are covered. The reader will want to keep this book close at hand, referring to it often as they explore the many features of their new device. This edition adds information about the new services Amazon has instituted, as well as how to get the most out of the new features that come with the Android Key Lime Pie Operating System. The last two chapters cover apps for the Kindle Fire so users know about the latest/greatest apps available. New features are likely to be added to the new device and other changes to the hardware include better performance, a crisper screen, and an even more improved touch screen capabilities.
