The Kindle Fire is a similar product to the iPad, and was launched by Amazon in 2011. It allows you not only to download and read books, but also to listen to music, surf the net or watch movies. There are multiple ways to download books to a Kindle Fire. If you want to find out, just follow these steps.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Using the Amazon Store on Your Kindle Fire

The option is located at the top of the screen, between Newsstand and Music. You will be taken to a "bookshop" where all the books you have received or downloaded will appear.

Step 5. Select the book
Tap the book and you will be taken to a screen with the price of the book, its rating, cover and description indicated. If the book is available for rental, you will see a button that says "Rent Now with 1-Click". If an excerpt from the book is available, you will see a button that says "Preview". Reading a preview is a free and easy way to know if you like that book.
