For example, unlocking your tablet will let you install a third-party browser like Firefox and Chrome instead of the default Silk browser. You can even install other operating systems like CyanogenMod without unlocking your Amazon tablet first. In this guide, we’ll show you how to unlock your Amazon tablet and some of the benefits of doing so. Read on to learn more!
