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 Amazon tablet is the new tablet to beat. There is a compelling draw to such technology, and an obvious popularity. Being new as both a product and the supporting technology, the Kindle Fire requires careful explaining. 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 book loan program Amazon has instituted, as well as how to borrow Kindle books from libraries and lending books to others. The last two chapters cover apps for Kindle Fire so users know about the latest/greatest apps available. New features are likely to be added to the new device; a camera (still and video), 3G, and a microphone, as well as a 10 inch screen. Other changes to the hardware include better performance, a crisper screen, and a better touch screen.
