How to get Kindle model

How do I determine what Kindle Fire Model my app is running on? (Must be documented somewhere; but I have been unable to fine.) And... will the emulators show their model? I need to resize for 3G models.

Thank you! I really did look hard -- sometimes one just has to ask the right question; and I was not. By the by for others... Find a list of Kindles and SN first 4 codes here: http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Serial_Numbers
