Amazon Fire Tablet (Google Play Android) Setup Guide

We would recommend updating your Amazon Fire to the most recent release of the Fire OS (5.3.6.4 for a 5th Generation device as of the time of writing this guide), and updating all the installed apps to the latest versions. We would also recommend you have an up-to-date Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware app installed.
