Chapter 4: Getting the Most out of Your Kindle

Your Kindle has a lot of potential as an entertainment device. It also has a lot of potential as an educational resource for adults and younger people a like. It does have some productivity functions and, though they are limited, they may still be useful.

Hooking Up to Stereo Speakers

This was covered briefly in a previous chapter, but here are some tips you can use to get the best possible sound out of your Kindle Fire HD. Because you can access your entire Amazon music collection on the device, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t go ahead and use it as a music player by attaching it to your stereo.

External Speaker Options

There are plenty of different options for external speakers for your Kindle Fire HD. Some of them are very small devices intended to give you a bit of a boost in sound performance. Because the Kindle Fire HD has very good speakers on it already, these may not be worth the money to you.

A standard set of computer speakers provide excellent sound, particularly if the set includes a subwoofer. To use these speakers, plug the 1/8 jack on the speakers into the Kindle Fire HD’s headphone jack and you’re ready to go. Adjust the volume on the Kindle and the speakers until you get the right volume with no distortion. Too high a volume on the Kindle and too low a volume on the speakers will cause distortion.
