Default Help with Kindle Fire Customisation

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can help. My mother-in-law was bought a Kindle Fire for xmas and after playing with it it isnt the most user friendly experience.

Just wondering if there are any good launchers that will give an easy to use interface that I can install? Possibly to make it look and feel like more like an iOS device as she is used to apple products.
Also is it recommended to use Getjar for apps or is it an untrusted site?

Many Thanks in advance

Yesevil is online now

GO Launcher is a nice alternative to the default one with a lot of different themes.
I have used GetJar to get apps though there are other app stores out there that you can install in order to get more apps than just what the Amazon App store offers, Free Android apps & games download | 1mobile.com is a good one.
To install both of these you have to allow installation of apps from other or unknown sources (or whatever it's called, I forget, it's in the settings).
