/Thanks for the welcome and the suggestion of getting the Amazon
account. I've already created the account, using my pc. It's just that
I've, so far, been unable to enter the email address with the on-screen
keyboard. I've also tried practicing by putting url in the address b
ar, no joy there, either.
Cheers,
Dave

hi dave. welcome!
do you have an amazon account?
that's the first step in registering.
username - email address as registered with amazon
password - amazon password
just a heads up.
a couple of us on the list have spoken about our bluetooth keyboards.
yes a bluetooth keyboard is alot easier to use than the virtual.
but, in a pinch, with a micro to full-size usb dongle, one can use a
full-size usb windows keyboard for typing.
stay well ... william

Hi,
Dave in Boston, here; glad to have found you all. I'll likely have many
novice questions. I'm new to the tablet and touch-screen space, and
thought a Fire would be a reasonable, inexpensive way to enter. I'v had
access to some sort of computer or terminal for many years.
Laz, thanks for shipping that Fire so soon after I ordered; the package
arrived before the 'your order has shipped' email notification.
So far, I've done some voice preferences setup, read a few web pages,
and tried the lessons in the user guide. I had the impression that the
typing lesson would present me a keyboard for exercise, it did not. The
lesson on swipe navigation also seemed to give no feedback on how I was
doing. I'm still unable to register the device, owing to my inability
to use the on-screen keyboard; my husband plugged the wifi password in,
just so I could look at a web page or two.
I wonder if Laz would sell enough usb or bluetooth keyboards to make it
worthwhile? I'd prefer the bluetooth option; it would keep the usb
available for power.
Just a thought,
Dave
