this allows you to chat face to face no matter where you are

When you purchase the Kindle Fire HD, you’ll already have the Skype app in your Cloud. Go to Apps and toggle the switch to Cloud. You’ll see the Skype icon there. Tap it to download it to your computer.

If you have a Skype account, you can use that account on your Kindle Fire HD. If you do not, go through the account creation wizard to get set up.

If you have contacts on Skype, they’ll show up on your list as soon as you log in. If you don’t, you can add the by tapping Contacts and searching using the Magnifying Glass icon. You can share them in several different ways, including based on prior calls, your calendar contacts and so forth.

Calling

All of Skype’s features can be used on your Amazon Kindle Fire HD. If you purchase credits for it, you can use it as a phone to call regular landlines. When you want to place a call, you have three different options: audio, video and IM

Making a standard audio call, called a Voice Call on Skype, requires only that you tap on a contact’s entry and select the option.

When you make a video call, your camera and microphone will automatically start up as soon as the person on the other end of the line accepts the call. This allows you to chat face to face, no matter where you are.
