: What dimensions should I use when designing for the Kindle Fire? I've reviewed all of the android design documentation, but I am still a little confused on how I should setup my Photoshop file

@Sims5801359

It's 160 PPI (pixels per inch) not DPI (printed dots per inch).

You might indeed want to set PPI - if you want to easily produce a print from Photoshop at the same physical size as your screen.

Note that this is rarely a good idea for web or on-screen design in general because screen resolution varies greatly. But given that you are designing for a single device, it may be useful.

The Battery bar is an additional 40px. For the softkeys/nav bar, it's 60px open, and 20px when 'hidden'.

My understanding of Kindle Fire is the screen size is 600 wide by 1024 Tall. However 20 pixels of the height will be used for navigational purposes. So the usable size of the screen is 600 by 1004. Patrick

Use the screen resoulotion, you'll know what it would look like and sometimes it might just crop instead of shrink if you do it too large.

If you want your photoshop to match the pixels on the Kindle, then your PSD file should be 1024x600 pixels. DPI is a measurement of the pixel density on the device itself and has no real bearing on your PSD file.
