The android app for BT wifi is great ... works a treat. It's available in the Google Play Store (Free)
I have the amazon app store loaded on my android tablet, I don't know if you can access the Google Play store to get this app.

(This seems to descibe how to get the google play store on a fire http://www.androidauthority.com... but it's not for the fainthearted)


But the app just makes logging in to a BT hotspot seamless (if it finds one it'll log you in!) Without the app you should still be able to get on line.
The hotspot should show in the WiFi networks list, click to connect then bring up a browser and it should ask you to log in with your bt details (they describe this on the bt site)
