I had a Kindle 2 since 2009 and my husband bought me the original Kindle Fire last Christmas. As soon as I opened it I knew I that in order to get the most out of it, so I did my homework and found a terrific book that was perfect for all levels of user. It had step by step instructions with color screen pictures as illustrations of the steps. I purchased the actual book so that I could follow on my KINDLE side by side with the book. This book is called "My Kindle Fire" by Jim Cheshire. I do not know Mr. Cheshire and nor do I have any financial stake in this book. I have recommended it to many people who were as  impressed as I was.  This Christmas he bought me a new Kindle Fire HD 8.9 so I checked and found his new "My Kindle Fire HD."I happened on this book and figured I would buy the e-book version for reference. My  opinion is that this should be considered the equivalent of a classroom handout and not a book.  The author refers to Kindle Fire HD  a few illustrations appear to be the original Kindle Fire (2011). He writes about the front display has the carousel and and "Favorites" but as far as I know (a family member got the KINDLE HD 7" and it is the same as as my 8.9") the favorites are no longer on with the page with the  carousel.  You must tap the star to go to the favorites. The author should have known this. I feel that this book should have been so much more and it wasn't'.
