The Kindle Fire is a great reading tablet, but if though the device is mainly for reading, you can still transfer pictures to it, and very easily too. Before you begin, however, you need to purchase a micro-USB cord, because it is not included in the box the device comes in. Once you have that, you will be free to copy pictures over to your Kindle Fire.
Steps
Make sure the device is powered on and that it has enough battery life to transfer pictures. Typically, more than 30% battery life is ideal for transferring pictures. If the tablet shuts off during a transfer, you risk data corruption, making your pictures unviewable.
Connect the Kindle Fire to your PC using the micro-USB cord. Get the micro-USB cord you purchased and plug the micro end to the Kindle Fire’s charging port, which is located at the bottom of the device. Next, plug the USB 2.0 jack to a vacant USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on your computer.Advertisement
Unlock your Kindle Fire to enable the connection via USB. It will detect the connection and notify you on its screen.
