I don't know if this is an issue or not but an app on my kindle fire wouldn't connect to the internet which was perplexing. Turns out I had recently set the firewall on my router to "high" and this blocked the app even though others apps worked fine. Setting the router firewall to medium solved the problem and wifi connectivity was reestablished with the app. Some ereader internet connectivity issues involve adjusting the ereader MAC address on the router as well.

MAC Filtering
Some routers filter all devices that haven’t been approved by the network administrator -- you. If you’ve set up your router to use MAC address filtering, you’ll need to enter your Kindle’s MAC address into the router’s management software. On the Kindle, open settings and then choose “Device” and “About” to reveal your MAC address. Check the router manufacturer's website for the IP address for the router -- usually 192.168.0.1 -- and enter the address into the Web browser on a computer to access router settings. Click on “MAC filtering” and add your Kindle’s MAC address to the list of allowed devices.
