From installing the Play Store to controlling your smart home gadgets

Amazon's lineup of Fire tablets are some of the best bang-for-your-buck devices you can find today — especially if you wait for a sale. With all three models now updated with modern processors and USB-C, it's a better lineup than ever. With Prime Day happening right now, Amazon's entire lineup of tablets is on sale, with discounts as deep as 50% off their usual prices. If you've recently picked up a Fire device but don't know where to start, here are the eight things you should do right away with your Fire device.
The Amazon Appstore is fine, especially when combined with web apps through the Silk browser. But let's be honest: there's no replacing the Play Store, especially when you're trying to install must-have apps like Gmail and YouTube. You won't find any of Google's applications on the Appstore, making this an essential step for power users and Android newcomers alike.
