This can be done on the Account page. I also show you some really cool features! The instructions on this page are for the Kindle Fire tablets , but most features are the same on the and tablets , some of the pictures may be slightly different. However, if you have the first generation some things are still the same so check 'em out. Not sure which Kindle Fire you have? Let me show you! When a text box is selected on the Kindle Fire the on-screen keyboard will open up.
If you're reading this page on another device, one of the easiest ways to test out your Kindle Fire keyboard is to use the "search" feature at the top of your home screen above the carousel. The first thing to do is to check your keyboard's default language and settings to make sure they are set to your personal preference. I was helping a local friend a few days ago with her new Kindle Fire HD and discovered her keyboard language was set to English United Kingdom. This was odd since we live in the mid west of the United States.
We also found other settings for the UK and she didn't have access to Amazon coins. So we'll be contacting Amazon soon to figure out what's going on. If you also find that your keyboard and other default settings are not set to your country's location or language, I'd recommend contacting Amazon Customer Service to sort it out.
Once you've checked that your keyboard's language is properly set, it's time to check your settings. Personally, I don't like hearing the keyboard sounds, but perhaps you do, so feel free to leave that on.
I also loath auto-correct. This "feature" automatically changes words you type to the word it "thinks" you meant to type which drives me nuts! If you're having spelling troubles this might be the culprit. I don't mind the auto-capitalization and find that this feature is more helpful than not, so it gets to stay on. As for the next word prediction, this handy feature is actually quite cool. Over time your Kindle Fire keyboard will acquire a list of common words you use which are added to your personal dictionary.
When you begin typing, a row will appear at the top of your keyboard with several words to choose from. These are for the current word prediction but if you select one of these words then another set of three more words will appear, these are the next word prediction choices.
Tap to insert any of these words. The next word prediction feature may or may not be helpful, depending on your typing history and what you currently want to type.
For example, if I type a lower case "t" the current word prediction appears above the keyboard:. Gorgeous chocolate cupcakes sound delicious! What have I been typing to cause this to be my keyboard's next word prediction? This should be obvious, as this setting will check the spelling of words you type, which is usually a good feature to have turned on, but if you need to you can turn it off.
Words are added to this dictionary when you select them from the list of words that appear at the top of your keyboard once you start typing.
To delete a word from this list select the check box to the right and tap "Delete". Or tap "Select All" and then "Delete" to clear out your entire personal dictionary. Wow, my dictionary is full of unfinished words from all the fiddling and testing I've done with it.
I need to clean it up! Both have shiny screens with generous black margins, which connect to the same matte-finish side edges and back in a single piece. Unlike the PlayBook designed to be used primarily in landscape orientation, with all buttons and connectors on its long edges , the long edges of the Fire designed to be used primarily in portrait orientation are completely smooth and bereft of anything to touch. As the only button found anywhere on the device, the power button is forced to perform more tasks than just switching the Fire on and off.
If the tablet is completely turned off right out of the box, for example , press and hold the power button for a couple seconds to bring the screen to life.
To dim the screen, save power, and protect against unintended taps or swipes, press the power button briefly to put it to sleep. If the Fire freezes and stops responding to your taps, press and hold the power button for 20 seconds to trigger a hard restart. Running along the top of the Home screen, the Status bar gives you quick access to a variety of information and settings, shown in Figure To look for content of any type on your device, just tap in the box.
Library search is enabled by default orange text shows which mode is active , so all results will be from your device, grouped by content library, as shown in Figure Search results will whittle down with each character you type. The Search box is also a handy way to quickly search the Web, without first navigating to the Web browser and going to Google.
Just tap the Web tab to switch from the default Library search the Web tab will appear orange, and Library will turn grey and type your query.
Tapping Search will launch the Web browser with the Google page for your search results. Whenever you tap in a field on the Fire that expects text input, the virtual keyboard pops up at the bottom of the screen, as shown in Figure , and a blinking cursor will appear in the text box. Tap the Shift key the up arrow on the left side of the keyboard to switch to capital letters. Tapping the Shift key twice in a row turns on caps lock tap once more to return to the lowercase keyboard ; otherwise, the keyboard returns to lowercase after you type a single capital letter.
Tap the !? On this screen, the ABC key will occupy the position previously held by !?. Tap it to return to typing letters. If you need a little more room for your fingers to type, move the device into landscape orientation. While the whole screen shifts, the keyboard spreads to fit the width of the new position, giving you more real estate for the keys to breathe.
