Amazon Fire tablets are a bit different, and the main thing to differentiate them is their screen size and resolution. There’s the Amazon Fire 7, Fire HD 8, and Fire HD 10, with the number referring to the screen size (in inches) and ‘HD’ showing that the device has a high-definition resolution

Amazon Fire Tablets restrict you to the Amazon Appstore, but runs on Fire OS, a custom version of Android. That means, that you can install the Play Store and gain access to millions of Android apps and games, including Google apps like Gmail, Chrome, Google Maps, and more.

If you never use your e-reader for web browsing and never connect to a computer other than your own, the risks of infection are minimal. Kindle tablets are more problematic. It’s possible for a Fire or Fire HD to become infected while online, either from downloading a non-Amazon app or visiting a malicious website.

Updating a Kindle Fire’s operating system allows it to work with all the latest files and data and also can remove any glitches found in past versions of the OS. With regular updates, your Kindle Fire tablet should stay in good working order for a number of years, even as newer apps and software are released.

The most common reasons for Kindle charging slowly are the use of unofficial chargers, incorrect charging cables, or when the Kindle battery is too old. Charging your Kindle through a computer via a USB port can also take longer than usual.

When charging your Kindle, make sure the Kindle’s charging light located by the power button shines yellow, the normal charging color. The light turns green when charging finishes. If your Kindle’s battery isn’t charging, the device will not power on.
