Love My Fire Testimonials

Kindle Fire Fan Testimonials
This is the place where you can rave about this Kindle Fire website and read the ravings from others (LOL)! I'd love to hear from you so please share your thoughts with me.

Here are just two of the fun testimonials this site has received:

"Thanks for figuring out and then sharing the different tips and tricks on your site. Five minutes after subscribing I was installing a couple of play apps on my Fire 2nd gen. and they run just fine. They're running better on my Fire than they did on my phone. Thanks again." -Paul, Idaho

----------

"My son loves you. We thought his kindle fire was a goner - but your tips and tricks have saved it (and my sanity!)" -Stacy

Love My Fire Under New Management

In July 2019 I stepped away from LoveMyFire.com as my direction in life took another path. My friend, Christine, has taken over the site for me and has great plans for its future!

Thank you to all who have supported me and Love My Fire over the years. It has been a true joy and pleasure to create this site and its resources- I wouldn't have done it without such a wonderful audience to share it all with. :)

I posted all about the new changes on my blog. Click the image or this link to see the original blog post.

Good luck to Christine!

I Still ♥ My Fire!

History of Love My Fire

As soon as I opened my Kindle Fire from Amazon I was in love (see My Story to read all the juicy details or share your own experience!).

Instantly, I became an obsessive (aka passionate) fan and have had loads of fun learning everything my Fire can do and I'm still discovering all sorts of gems and goodies!

Over the next few months I often found myself helping other Kindle Fire owners with a range of things, such as basic navigation and how to side-load third party apps.

I've helped both men and women, strangers and friends, and people of varying ages and degrees of technical ability, including those who were confident techi-users and those who had a new Kindle Fire fresh from the box. It's so much fun seeing and talking with others who enjoy their tablet as much as I do!

I also found that when I figured out something new I wanted to share it with others, especially with other Kindle Fire owners. After searching all over the net and being unable to find exactly what I was looking for (a fun fan site for both instruction and sharing) I considered creating my own.

Then I discovered an AMAZING system called Site Build It! (SBI!) Which teaches you how to create a SUCCESSFUL website business just writing what you're passionate about. (See My SBI! Journey to read all about it and even watch a 1-minute video of why I Love SBI!)

Once the thought of creating my own Kindle Fire website entered my mind I couldn't let it go. I kept thinking of all the great things I'd love to share with other fans and what they could share with me. My excitement kept building and building, so I chose to act upon my passion and here we are!

Since I'm always going around saying, "I Love My Kindle Fire!" what better title could I use for this site then that? I've also heard tons of other people say the same thing- I'm not the only crazy fan. :)

The main purpose of this website is to help others so they have as much fun as I do and can say they love their Kindle Fire too!

If you'd like to know more about me (because I'm so interesting) I've typed up a page all about me as well as my personal Kindle Fire Story.

I ♥ My Fire!

Kindle Fire Love!

I think it's hilarious that in this picture of me (the one above and others on the site) I'm wearing a yellow and orange shirt.

Honestly, I did not plan to match the color scheme of my site, it must have been an unconscious connection, crazy karma, or some other form of voodoo. LOL

Love My Fire Co-Author

Update: As of December 2017 Olga was no longer a co-writer on this site. Olga's articles were fabulous and she did a great job. Not adding more of her articles was a choice I made based on this site's finances, and for no other reason.

----------

In April of 2017 I took on a co-writer and her name is Olga! Olga and I have been friends for several years and she's the perfect person to join Love My Fire.

Not only is Olga, totally awesome, she's passionate about technology, mobile devices, and is specifically knowledgeable about Amazon's Kindle Fire tablets!

Check out the page all about Olga to learn more about our history together, her skills, and to see a photo of all her running trophies- they're amazing!

Be sure to watch for all the fabulous Kindle Fire articles and related resources from her.

Welcome, Olga!

Love My Fire Assistant

Update: In March of 2017 Sherie and I parted ways. She did a fabulous job as my assistant and I appreciate all the time, effort, and support she gave over the years. Thanks, Sherie!

--------

In December of 2014 I hired my very first assistant! Her name is Sherie and she is amazing!

For three years Sherie worked in Amazon's Customer Service, specifically in their Kindle Fire department- how awesome is that?!

Sherie helps with replying to all your questions and comments: by email, in the comments at the bottom of this website, and on my social pages. With hundreds of questions each month, I really needed some expert help and Sherie was the perfect fit!

Thanks, Sherie!
