![]() ![]() Where it says, "Hello, _" at the top right To add approved email address go to and login with the account where your Kindle Fire is registered. If you don't, it won't work, as this is a prevention to keep spam from being emailed to your device. Need to add which email addresses are approved to send files to your Edit Your Personal Document SettingsĮach Kindle Fire has its very own email address. Transfer Files by Emailīefore you can transfer files by email we need to go over some settings, as follows. Unfortunately, you cannot email app/apk files to your Kindle Fire, at least it didn't work when I tried it, but for other types of files it works great, especially if you already have an attachment in your email that you want on your Kindle Fire. Easy.And there you go! It's really quite simple when you get the hang of it. ![]() To move between photos, just swipe left or right. Wait a second and they’ll vanish so you can just view the photo. Here you can see that I’m viewing the logo in a horizontal orientation and that some of the Fire navigation is still present too, including the home button and the back arrow on the bottom. Once you find an image you like, tap on it (or even just tap on one of the blank squares) and you’ll be able to view it in either orientation, depending on what’s better for the image itself. Whether you have thumbnails or not, you can slide your finger left to right and move through the images, they’re organized by date, oldest on the left, newest on the right. Where are all the thumbnails? They used to be present but now some of them are just empty black squares. Now here’s a typical Kindle Fire hiccup, one that I suspect will be fixed the next time they have a system update. Tap on the pile of photos to move into the photo viewer. Eventually, though, you’ll see “Pictures” and “Video”. If you don’t see thumbnail images, no worries, just give it a second to catch up. You seek the “Gallery” app, as highlighted above. Tap on “Apps” on the top right, and you’ll see a display of all the applications you’ve installed on the Kindle Fire, as well as the core system applications: Easiest way to find it is to get to your home screen on the Fire… To view the photos, you need to use the Gallery application. To do that, select the device, then examine the “Properties” to see how much space you still have. The only difference, now that I think about it, is that it’s not quite as easy in Windows to see the available disk space. If you’re running Windows instead of a Mac, the process is identical, the screen shots just look slightly different. When you’re done, simply eject the Fire and the photos are ready to view. Keep an eye on the very bottom of the screen to see how you’re doing with disk space: I’ll add another one by simply dragging and dropping it from my computer into this folder (as you can see, the image “logo33.png”). You can see that I already have quite a few photos on my own Fire. Open the “Pictures” folder and you can simply drag and drop the photos you want… To add photos to your Fire, simply plug the device into your USB port with a microUSB adapter. Still, space management is a challenge on all devices, so that’s nothing unique to the Fire, is it? Having said that, you do realize that your Fire only has about 5GB of space for all of your content, correct? If you’re reading a book or two, no worries, they’re not big, but if you want to drop a few movies, a dozen of your favorite CDs and a few hundred photos from your latest vacation in Cabo, well, it can get a bit tight. In a nutshell, it’s not perfect, and it’s not an iPad. Turns out I’m with you regarding these so-called industry pundits, and actually wrote an editorial for the Huffington Post entitled Does the Kindle Fire Really Suck? I Think Not. ![]()
