I have seen some comments that you can't get gmail on your Fire. Is that true?

Same here, and it only took a few seconds to set up. |

That makes three of us who use gmail on our Fire. You may have heard that Google Calendar doesn't work easily with the Fire, though people have found an app that works....

Works fine.
(although as Betsy points out, some of the google apps that you may use on your android phone aren't available as apps for the fire)

You may have to set up a device specific password depending on how your gmail is set up but it should work just fine.

We'll see what happens when we get to double digits and the socks start coming off.

I have had some trouble using the Gmail Web site on my Fire if I am using a slow WiFi connection. I do not have problems with the site when on a fast connection or when using the app. It could be that others are reporting problems due to how fast their Fire times out on a site instead.

You can use the email app instead of the website. It just requires quick setup.
