To celebrate the launch Amazon has given every Kindle Fire owner in the U.S. 500 coins to use on Their next Kindle purchase.
“Today we are giving Kindle Fire owners $ 5 worth of coins to spend on new apps and games, or to purchase in-app items, Such as recipes into iCookbook, song collections in SongPop or mighty falcon bundles in Angry Birds Star Wars.
