As an avid user of many gadgets, I always try learn how I can squeeze every ounce of functionality from my gadgets. In the last year I bought several tablets, including iPad and excellent ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101-A1, and right now I am considering to replace my older Kindle with new Kindle Fire HD 8.9" version, that was released last month. That's how this book came to my attention and so far I am pleased with the amount of information it contains.Topics covered are:1. Basic functionality of Kindle Fire HD, such as locking/unclocking screen, screen rotation, how to tweak display, how to use camera, etc. So far nothing complicated for anyone who owns a tablet.2. Setting up Wi-Fi.3. Storage options, including how to use Amazon Cloud that promises unlimited storage space.4. Recommended apps for the Kindle Fire HD. So far there are not that many apps available, compared with other major tablets, but I am sure situation will imporve.5. Reading Kindle books. Kindle Fire HD has biggest screen size and highest screen resolution out of all Kindles on the market right now, though my understanding is that technically it is not a Kindle Reader. I also wonder how much eye strain you get from reading text from LCD screen rather than usual E Ink reader.More topics also discussed.Book answered some of my questions and raised others. I understand that the book's purpose is not to make it easier for someone to choose a new Kindle tablet but, instead, help current users of Kindle Fire HD, and in that role I think book succeeds rather well. Good, clickable Table of Contents, many pictures to illustrate different functions of Kindle Fire HD and clear instructions on how to use them should satisfy any new user of Kindle HD Fire.Recommended for both users of Kindle Fire HD and people who are considering to buy this interesting tablet.
