Also, they didn't show up in the Fire if I used Amazon on the computer to download them; I had to control the purchase it from the Kindle Fire.

Go to "Books" and then click "Cloud." All your books will be there. Then download each. Then they will be on your "Device." Then use the long hold on each and move them to your Favorites on your Shelves.

No, you cannot. The old charger would take too long to apply the charge to the Fire.

That's just the way it works. You have to tap it with the right amount of pressure at the correct point. Practice makes perfect.

Hold your Fire in Landscape and using two fingers touch the screen and move outward to enlargen the fonts.
