What You’ll Find in the Book

Your Kindle Fire is full of surprises. The major functions are easy to discover, but some of the neater features are hidden away. As you read through this book, you’ll find yourself saying, “Wow, I didn’t know I could do that!” This book is designed to invoke just that kind of reaction.

Here are the things we’ll cover in this book.

• Chapter 1, “Getting Started with the Kindle Fire”, walks you through the initial setup of your device and how you can access some of the common settings. You’ll also learn how to use touch to operate your Kindle Fire and how to use the onscreen keyboard.

• Chapter 2, “Amazon’s Cloud Services”, takes you on a tour of the online services that Amazon offers. Because these are the services that drive a lot of the Kindle Fire’s functionality, you’ll benefit from learning how they work and what they offer.
