In a recent survey, the Kindle Fire came second in a list of the top selling tablet devices. This shows how popular the Amazon device has become.
The Kindle Fire runs on Fire OS which is a modified version of the Android operating system developed by Google. It does not have access to the overpopulated Google Play Store but Amazon Kindle Fire apps can be found in the Amazon App Store.
As such, there are many useful applications there, which many might not have heard of. This is shameful because the Kindle tablet has got both the hardware and the software, to handle a wide variety of apps. Moreover, the Amazon App Store has a number of nifty Kindle Fire apps which help in day to day activities.
1. Evernote
Evernote is a one stop app for all note related things. The app’s primary function is to serve as a notepad. The notes can not only be text but also photos and audio files.
There is a tagging system which allows for faster searching of particular notes. Notes can also be arranged onto different notebooks for better organization.

All the news feeds from your various social media are put together in an organized manner by Flipboard. Other sources of news like the New York Times can also be subscribed to.
