- Select the Home tab and then locate the Kindle icon. When you find it, tap it to launch the Kindle app.
- In the navigation bar at the bottom of the Kindle app window, tap STORE
- You may be prompted to give the Kindle Unlimited service a try. Click here if you’d like to learn more about it (link opens in a new tab/window) – otherwise just tap the Continue to store without Kindle Unlimited link.
- You can now search for a book or browse through the categories. When you find a book you like you’ll be able to purchase it through the Kindle app on your Fire HD. That’s it!
