From the Amazon Kindle Fire FAQ:

You should configure your emulator with the following characteristics:

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

*Note: The device will reserve 20px to display a soft key menu, making the effective portrait resolution 1004px high x 600px wide and the effective landscape resolution 580px high x 1024px wide.
