Fire Tablets For Dummies

Introduction

Amazon’s Fire tablets provide a very affordable way to get at all kinds of media, from music and videos to books and colorful magazines. Any of the four tablet models also allow you to browse the Internet, connect to your Facebook account, make video calls via Skype, take photos, check your email, and read documents.

Finally, a complete chapter on using a Fire tablet to connect with and protect your family shows you features that integrate into your household.
