2. Newsstand

Newsstand is where all your Kindle magazine and newspaper subscriptions are gathered. Here you can read, subscribe to, and sample (with a trial subscription) a variety of newspapers and magazines right on your Kindle Fire. Traditionally, Kindle magazines and newspapers have been black-and-white affairs, because of the limits of the e-ink Kindles. The Kindle Fire, as you know, has a great color screen, and more than 400 magazines and newspapers now take advantage of this feature by offering their content in color. The subscriptions that offer only text-based reading experiences are called text view magazines, while magazines that offer a more printlike experience are called page view magazines. Subscriptions that support page view are labeled “Includes page view” in the Newsstand store both on the Kindle Fire and on Amazon.com.
