Did find a manual of sorts on the Kindle -- Apps > Help & Feedback > User Guide. Wanted to know more about Music, but "Loading. Please wait..." - never did.... The other topics appeared. If I had a photogenic memory, putting a manual on an electronic device would be great. I need a printed page right next to the thing I'm trying to learn how to use! LOL I had previously looked at several links shown in the search engine for "Kindle Fire HD Owner's Manual" and other similiar wording. Found several places that wanted to sell the manual. No thanks. Just looked again and found the manual in PDF format by the nice people/person at Manual Buddy. Printed that out, but decided I'd still like to know more. (Guess there's no pleasing some people. :) ) Went shopping at (what's becoming my home away from home) Amazon and bought 2 paperbacks: My Kindle Fire HD by Jim Cheshire and Kindle Fire HD: The Missing Manual by Peter Meyers. There! If I can't learn more with bigger print and colorful pictures -- well, there's no hope for me. Ha Thanks all for your help. (Books aside, I've bookmarked the links you've given me, and I know I'll be visiting them.)

I have a 2nd generation kindle fire and love it. I read on it surf, check email, watch hbo, netflix and stuff on it so it suites my needs. I want the larger screen HDX when money permits. Storage is not an issue for me since all your books and apps you purchase from amazon are stored in your amazon account so I can delete and load as needed as long as I have a wifi connection or I use the mobile hotspot from my cell phone if need be. I also have an older e-ink keyboard kindle but I don't read on it as much anymore as I just prefer to read on the fire but it depends on what your eyes like. If you are not going to be using it for much why not get the 7 inch HD kindle for $119 since it's cheaper. I have used my friends HD and it's nice. Mary

I recently had that problem on my ipad, my books were gone. I looked in my little ipad book and it said when you lose an app, that sometimes it helps to shut it completely off, then turn it on again...and it worked! I usually don't turn my ipad off, just goes in "sleep" mode I guess. It may work for you too. The ibook app. showed in the ipad but when I tapped it, there wasn't any books there.

you are very welcome. I subscribe to all three of those lists and get them daily takes only a few minutes to scan through to see if I am interested in any and if so it is just 2 clicks to get it into my library. My husband reads almost a book a day or so and I keep him well stocked up from those lists and good books too. Amazon also list one a day as a special and you can do a search there as well for free kindle books.
