Top best video player for Kindle Fire
Amazon Kindle Fire is my current portable video player. Kindle Fire’s 1024×600 wide display is better to watch movie, music video than iPad 1024×768 display. No black bar on top and bottom of the screen. However, the default video player in Kindle Fire is not perfect to do the task.

The 2 features that I like most ~ adjust volume and brightness with slide up and down.
