We bought a couple of Kindle Fire 6' to take with us...can we use Skype with these? How does Skype work - email address I take it?
Yes, there's a Skype app for Kindle Fire. You can use Skype for instant messaging, voice/video chat with other Skype users, or voice calls to regular phones at very low rates. For dial-out to regular phones you'll have to purchase Skype credits. You can create an account and simply tie it to your credit card.
