Is the viewing meta supported by the Amazon Silk browser in the Kindle Fire?

I am trying to use the viewport meta tag to scale HTML content when viewing on Kindle Fire.

I installed the following test page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=2.5, maximum-scale=2.5, minimum-scale=2.5, width=device-width, user-scalable=no" />
</head>
<body>
  <div style="width: 100px; height: 100px; background: red;">Hello World</div>
</body>
</html>

If I change the number from 2.5 to 1.0, for example, this will decrease the content on the iPhone 4S. However, this does not seem to affect the size of the content when viewed in the Amazon Silk browser on the Kindle Fire.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a problem in my markup that might cause this?

Note. I tried to change the browser setting "Desktop or Mobile View" to "Automatic", "Mobile" and "Desktop" - none of these settings changed anything in the appearance of the page.
