According to Amazon's FAQ on Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire has USB debugging enabled by default. To connect Kindle Fire to your Android Debug Bridge (ADB) follow the instructions in this PDF.If you are working with Windows 7 you will need to download and use this driver. They are also providing USB drivers for download for Windows 7 PC. Moreover, we can also emulate Kindle Fire specs on Android emulator by using the following parameters.

  • Width: 600px
  • Height: 1024px
  • Abstracted LCD Density: 169
  • Target: Android 2.3.4 - API Level 10
  • RAM: 512 MB

They don't offer separate developer devices. You can use the Kindle Fire devices which you can buy online.

After installing the device driver, I had to modify your adb_usb.ini

  1. Open the C:\Users\< your-login >\.android\adb_usb.ini file for editing
  2. Add 0x1949
  3. Save the file

I could set up Amazon Kindle Fire for debugging. Pic:
