Q. My dad bought a kindle fire for me when it wasn't available in england. I am now trying toto get it to work fully in england. When I want to buy things its in dollars. Can I upgrade or convert the software. Also when I try and play music it says Exception #101 the specified device could not be authenticated.
A. There're two discussions here from some actual users, for using Kindle Fire from US in the UK:

Music should work without problem. Just you may not be able to get books that are not exported to UK, it's just the same as actual books.
Hope this helps.
Can you watch movies on a Kindle Fire when you arent connected to internet?
Q. Im thinking about buying a Kindle Fire. I know you have to be connected to interenet in order to download the movies. But once they are, do you have to remain connected to watch them? Example: I want to be able to let my daughter watch movies or tv shows in the back seat while Im driving.
A. Hi Caitlin, be prepared that the video playback is not going to be great on Fire as it is one low-juice device and not a real media tablet. Nook Tablet is much better without a doubt, it's a class above Kindle Fire. You should do own research and read online reviews on Kindle Fire before ordering one - there's a lot of complains from people who got the device that many Kindle Fire units have faulty Wi-Fi and people have a lot of issues connecting to internet. Also, Amazon's own web site has hundreds (over 1200 so far) of reviews of Kindle Fire's new owners that gave it 1 or 2 star reviews because of choppy/laggy experience they got from this underpowered device.
Other reported issues are that Prime movies can't be downloaded, only streamed, making them impossible to watch without Wi-Fi on Kindle Fire. Also, on Fire when the Silk internet browser is pointed at the Android market, it reverts to the Amazon market with much more limited content. Touchscreen is being reported as having a sluggish response. Slower and jerkier than expected web browsing thus no benefit from Silk browser. Power button is badly placed, leading to accidental turning off of the device (a lot of complains about this one).
All pro reviewers on the web clearly voiced that Nook Tablet is a much better device with superior performance compared to Kindle Fire. Nook Tablet has been getting rave reviews and it is the best device in it's class. It's got Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Angry Brids, etc., the best battery life, the best non-glare laminated screen, double the RAM and space for apps/photos/movies, microSD slot and a microphone for Skype (not on kindle), physical volume controls on the side (not on Kindle), very smooth video playback with excellent screen, and very fast apps load.
Sample review:
Laptop Mag
Whether itâs the bigger amount of RAM or just more mature software, the Nook Tablet feels a lot faster than the Fire. Where the Fire often seems sluggish and, on our tests, often failed to respond to our taps until we hit an icon two or three times, the Nook Tablet was always smooth and responsive.
How can I get books from my kindle onto my kindle fire?
Q. I just got a new kindle fire. Both kindles are registered to the same name. What's the easiest way to take the books from my old kindle and get them onto the kindle fire? Thanks!
A. Did you just copy the books from your old Kindle or your PC to your Kindle Fire? If so, that's why they won't work, they're coded to a specific device. Just go to the cloud tab under books on your Kindle Fire, all of the books you purchased on your account should be there. Or go to Manage Your Kindle page on http://amazon.com and send them to your Kindle Fire.
