Once you install Go Launcher EX, familiarizing yourself with its workings takes a little time. Go Launcher is one of several launcher programs that allow you to customize the Kindle Fire in the same way you can trick out an Android phone or tablet with shortcuts, widgets, multiple screens of tablet icons, and personalized themes.

You might want to consider installing the handy program called Go Launcher EX, which allows you to customize your Kindle Fire user interface without having to root the device.
