#1–I’m getting the message too may tabs. Does that mean too many apps? Can you please explain how to delete–or tell me a good (free?) support website?

Are you receiving the message on your silk browser?
If so… you have too many browser tabs open.

Thanks for response–midwesterners are almost always so nice. We lived in, and loved, MN, IL, OH. But I don’t know if anything could now get us out of NH.
Kids returned our call and I’m at this moment happily deleting an outrageous number of games–alternately: one from carosel, one from system.
But I don’t understand if this has anything to do with tabs. Could you comment?
when/why are tabs used?
how open?
how close/delete?
was this probably keeping me from downloading?
what’s a silk browser?

Tabs are open windows in your browser. The Kindle Fire is a pretty good tablet but it has its limits, and opening 5 or 6 are going to be slower than opening 1 or 2 … likewise opening 20 may cause an error message like you saw.
“Silk” is the name of Kindle’s proprietary brower, just as your computer accesses the web via an IE, Chrome, Firefox or Mozilla browser. You won’t see it called “Silk” on your Kindle; the touchscreen button to tap will just say “Web”.
When you open the Web from your bookshelf (where you can see your books, apps, etc), if it asks “Restore Tabs?” hit “No” and it’ll go back to just one tab.
Good for you deleting unnecessary items. That removes the item from your tablet but not from your library - that means you could re-download it later if you like. The way to purchase items (especially the Kindle Store’s Free App of the Day) without downloading it is to go onto Amazon from another device, like your laptop, and purchasing the app while the Kindle Fire is off. You can then go to the Cloud to download it later if you like. I do this with a lot of the games on there.
You’ll probably have better luck on Amazon’s forums, which are actively monitored for questions like this.

Thanks losh, for explanations. I’m hoping to find free Catholic ebooks–I have already been given a wonderful, 3000 book hard-cover library much of which I have yet to read, and have little space for, so buying more seems excessive even though there is so much I’d like to add.
But every download I’ve tried has failed. They start, and then the kindle goes dark and nothing is there. In the beginning there is a message about setting tabs–(can’t remember exactly)–I’ve tried each of the options, nothing has come in. Sorry to go on and on. Is it hopefully obvious what I’m doing wrong?
