One back issue of National Geographic that I had my Fire “keep” was 34.43MB. Saved magazines: I think this is one of the things that people don’t realize is a significant memory hog. There are associated files, but they aren’t as big I’d say that about a megabyte is about right for many books…that’s about what Amazon figures. Books with pictures obviously take up more. Tom Clancy’s Dead or Alive was 289MB.Į-books from Amazon were all over the place, but that’s probably because that includes samples and such. I used Water for Elephants as an example. I used the free ES File Explorer app (which I highly recommend) to gather some of this data.Īudiobook from Audible = 161MB (almost 3% of your available memory)

To be clear, if you used up the 5.36 of Internal Storage but had no apps, you still couldn’t use the Application Storage for your music. That’s where everything else you put on the device goes…magazines, music, videos, personal documents, and so on. The remaining 5.36GB is the “Internal Storage”. Those vary wildly in size, but Amazon figures you can get about 80 apps on there. When you get apps from the Amazon Appstore, that’s where they go. Some of the things that people want added in future updates would presumably take up some of that memory.ġ.17GB is the Application Storage. I thought I’d take a look at mine, and get some comparative values.įirst, though, it’s important to understand that there are functionally three memory areas on a Kindle Fire.ġ.47GB of that is being used by the device itself. While that’s certainly possible, people typically seemed surprised…they don’t think they have that much on the device. I often see people posting questions about running out of memory on a Kindle Fire
