What layout resource folders are used for Kindle Fire HDs?

I'm testing my latest app on the new 7" Kindle Fire HD. It doesn't seem to be using the same layout files as other 7" tablets (i.e. sw600dp folders). It seems to be using phone layouts. What layout folders should I be using? The guide says "large" & "x-large" but those have been deprecated since Android 3.2 & up (I thought Kindle was using ICS now).

Try using dp530sw instead of dp600sw. Kindle Fire HD is using hdpi, which uses a generalized dpi of 240 for dp calculations. The width is computed using the following: width = (800/ (240/160) ).
