If you’re running Safari or a different browser, it might or might not prompt you prior to downloading the application.

I have installed Calibre on my mac mini in order to convert ebooks to the form that my Kindle Fire HD uses, and have also downloaded the Android File Transfer program that is recommended for this process, but my computer is still not recognizing the Kindle so I can't transfer books to it.

Oh, and one more handy tip: on the top left is a button that looks like different sizes of the letter ‘a’. Click on it and you’ll find that there are a variety of different settings you can tweak for viewing the book: I’m a fan of the sepia color scheme, personally, but your milage may vary.
