The New Amazon Kindle Fire

Amazon Kindle Fire
Released on the 15th of November, 2011, the all-new Kindle Fire from Amazon is your singing, dancing, and fully-affordable tablet that will allow you to:

  • read e-magazines in color for the first time
  • read your email
  • browse the internet
  • play a few games
  • watch downloaded movies or TV shows
  • listen to music of your choice
  • shop on Amazon
  • read books
  • read children's interactive books
  • read documents you have emailed to yourself from your computer
At only $199, the Kindle Fire is being sold at a give-away price. It is the cheapest tablet of its type on the market, yet boasts superior components to its rivals.

A really wonderful thing about the Kindle Fire, is that it uses cloud computing. This just means that everything you want to store on it, isn't actually kept inside the machine itself.
Instead, it is stored online, on Amazon's own cloud, and accessed through a brand new browser called Silk, which was specially developed for Amazon.

Silk, like its name suggests, offers a smooth and seamless data exchange, which is very very fast, much faster than your normal internal access can open up a webpage.

The Kindle Fire can store 8Gbs of data in the handset, so if you are out of range of a wi-fi hotspot, you'll still have access to loads of books, movies or music that you have already downloaded.

With all new purchases of Kindle Fire comes a totally free one month's access to Amazon Prime, a unique service that allows you to download your choice of streaming video or magazines from nearly 100,000 titles.

Once downloaded, you can store any of the those products on Amazon cloud for watching at a later date.
