Book Description

Your new Kindle Fire tablet offers a wonderful portable media experience. Amazon's tight store integration helps you fill your device with movies, books, games, and more. Just browse to the store, make your selections, and soon you're enjoying that content on your device.

So what do you do when you want to go beyond the store? What if you have a PDF that your business partner sent you to review or you want to listen to music from your iTunes library or download a podcast? What happens if you buy your books from third party vendors, and not from the Amazon store? Can you install apps from the Google Marketplace that haven't been released yet in the Amazon app store for Android? What happens if you want to view pictures from your personal camera, or AVI recordings from your computer's TV tuner?

In each of these cases, you can still access and enjoy that content on your Kindle. This book shows you how. That's because the Kindle Fire's content doesn't end with the Amazon store. You can easily add, view, and remove media outside of purchasing them directly. This book shows you how.

You'll read about:

* Connecting your Kindle Fire to a computer to manage content
* How to load supported media file formats and how to play unsupported formats
* Moving files to and from Amazon's Cloud Drive
* Secret mail tricks to load media and applications
* Sideloading applications from the Google Android Market
* Managing your media library and cloud storage from the web

and more!

Best of all, you can do everything in this book with no advanced hacking necessary. If you thought you'd have to root your device and void your warranty, think again. You'll learn how to bring content to your Kindle Fire using approved transfer techniques, without any low-level system hacking.

3.0 out of 5 stars Short and a bit simplistic December 26, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Not bad for 3 bucks and has some good content, but not deep in any way. Rooting is "beyond the scope" of the book :-( but might be worthwhile if your needs are simple enough.

I read it twice in a week. Easy read and easy to follow. Unlocks MOST of the potential of the Kindle Fire.I have learned a lot by playing with my Kindle, but I learned some things I did not know and it saved me some time. Helpful and informative. Tells you where to get more info too. The only thing missing is a full explanation of some settings in the Fire that there seems to be no information yet published.Have you noticed some settings that you have no idea what they do? The casual user would not be missing anything by not knowing these things...but I want to know. I wanted to give four stars, but that would be unfair because until I find such a manual, this is the best I have found. BUY IT, READ IT, USE IT. Enjoy learning to do things that your friends with "Fires" will probably not know! They will look to you for advice and you will be able to deliver.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not For Me January 16, 2013

Just because it’s free doesn’t mean it’s worth downloading. I got a new Kindle and quickly started downloading a bunch of apps, books, etc. This one is not for me…but maybe you’ll like it.
