What is the Kindle Device?
A Kindle Device is known as a small hand-held electronic device that is majorly used for reading books, which has been developed by the Amazon retailer online. The Kindle was launched in the early 2012 when it was then the Kindle Fire, and later it became the Kindle Fire HD, with more functionality that was added than that of the previous Kindles and which is similar to a tablet device, based on an operating system that is called the Android.
When you are purchasing an e-book through the Amazon, the e-book gets automatically delivered to your account’s default Kindle device. It is fine if you only have one Kindle on your account, but in some cases you may still want to change which device is set as the default if you have more than one.
