Below, we’ll detail how to update your various Kindle and Fire HD devices, including what software version you should be on and what to do if the update doesn’t install properly. Neither process is particularly hard or lengthy, but it helps to know what, exactly, you need to do when it’s on you to keep your devices up to date. These updates usually happen automatically, but in some cases, they don’t, meaning you’ll need to start the update yourself or manually apply the update to your device. Like other tablets, the Kindle, Fire HD, and Fire HDX all receive occasional updates that add new features and improve security. The Fire HD and HDX have all the reading capabilities of the Kindle but also provide access to internet browsing, video streaming, and more apps than you can count. Simultaneously, the Fire is perfect for those already deep in the Amazon ecosystem looking for a tablet that takes advantage of that. With the Kindle, you can download and read everything from books to magazines and even newspapers. While Microsoft’s Surface and Apple’s iPad are among some of the best tablets out there, you still can’t go wrong with Amazon’s Kindle and Kindle Fire HD tablets and e-readers.
