The Amazon Fire Stick heralded a new age in the streaming of content from one device to another. The bulky, boxy streaming device gave way to a sleek and compact model known as the Fire Stick. It comes in at a more affordable price and takes up very little space - both things in its favor.

But, when it comes to the actual streaming itself, is there a better way to do things? Is there an easier way to source and organize content? Something that makes it possible to have a truly centralized media hub? You bet your bottom dollar there is and, even better, you don't have to spend a single dollar on it.

Kodi is available as opensource software, meaning that you can take full advantage of this brilliantly designed application for absolutely no capital outlay.

There is just one thing, though. (Isn't there always?) Kodi could be easier to use. As it stands now, unless you have some idea what you are doing, you are going to battle to get it working as it should.

But don't let that put you off. I have compiled this book with all the tips and tricks that I have learned while using Kodi. I have broken it down into simple steps from the basic install to your Fire Stick to streaming live TV.

I tell you how it works, what add-ons are. what add-ons you need, where to find content and how to keep yourself on the right side of the law.

For those with a little bit of a rebellious streak, I have also included simple instructions on how to jailbreak your Fire Stick.

If you want to get started on Kodi today, and really enjoy the best the Fire Stick can offer, this is the shortcut you need.
