With new tablets comes a new operating system, Fire OS 3.0, based on Android Jelly Bean, which Amazon called "Mojito". Among the news stands updated user interface, but the most important features are associated with Amazon's new additions. So we will have the "Mayday" key for immediate technical support. According to the Amazon, when you press this button, you will receive response from staff from the technical support within 15 seconds , who will be able to take full control of the device, or simply specify the user to perform the desired action.

Amazon in their operating system offers other new features, like the ability to watch movies purchased via Amazon Prime even when you do not have Internet access, upgraded X- Ray, which displays lyrics of songs that are being played without     Internet access, and the ability to switch the display to another screen or to the PlayStation 3, and later on the PS4 and Samsung's  smart TVs.
