This review is from: Kindle Fire: Visual QuickStart Guide (Paperback)
This book is the most helpful I've found at clearly explaining how to use a Kindle Fire to a complete techno-idiot. Great pictures.
My only complaints are that in places the print was either too small or too faint to be read easily.
