Tips in Using Amazon Kindle Fire Outside the US
Once you purchased your Amazon Kindle Fire, the question you would ask yourself is what do I do now? What can I do to fully enjoy this best value for money tablet PC? The first thing you need to do is to have it registered. You basically need to register and get an amazon account but no worries you can do it in three minutes, that is how simple and easy it is to register your Amazon Kindle Fire tablet.
Next thing you need to do is to get apps and games which helps make the Kindle Fire an all purpose tablet. The main concern of people buying the Amazon Kindle Fire outside the US is that the Amazon Appstore and the Amazon Prime is not available in other countries. It is only available is the US at this moment but don’t worry about it because you can sideload apps and transfer videos to your kindle fire.
All you need to do is go to m.getjar.com and download your favorite apps and games like Angry Birds and Facebook. You will need to download a file first before you can download apps and games but don’t worry it is easy. Before you can download the file from m.getjar.com you need to check on your settings first and see if your Kindle Fire is accepting installation of third-party applications.
To do that simply tap on the battery icon on the top right corner of your Kindle Fire, click More, select Device, and turn On Allow Installation of Applications. Then, visit m.getjar.com and you should be prompted to download the apk file. If it doesn’t work the first time you download the file, just try again and you would be able to download the getjar app which will help you download other apps and games for free.
My favorite Kindle apps are Bible, Pulse, Angry Birds, Converter Pro, Drag Racing, Pinball Deluxe, Weather App, Youtube, Gmail, Cut The Rope, Dolphin browser, SpringPad, Drums.
After you have installed your apps and games, you can also transfer your videos and pictures using a micro-usb cable. You can also start purchasing your favorite books, music, videos and magazines from www.amazon.com and have it delivered to your kindle fire. You can use the credit card in your country it will work. I particularly like the newsstand feature, I bought the latest edition of PC magazine and had it sent to my Kindle Fire in no time which is amazing.
You can also use a software called Calibre to manage your ebooks and to convert some old kindle books to .mobi which is the preferred format of the Amazon Kindle Fire. Check out Calibre for more details on how to manage and convert your old ebooks.
Those are some tips and tricks on using your Kindle Fire when you are outside the US. The Kindle Fire for me is the best value for money tablet in the market today because of its features and price. Take advantage of it and use it to its fullest.
