Amazon entered the tablet computing world in a big way with the brand new Kindle Fire.
With a feature packed, full color tablet computer, combined with Amazon’s cloud services, and a price point of $199.00, the Amazon Kindle Fire is THE best ereader and THE tablet computer to own!
At a mere 7.5″ x 4.7″ x 0.45″, and weighing just 14.8 ounces, the Kindle Fire packs quite a visual punch with a 7″ multi-touch display, a stunning 1024 x 600 pixel resolution at 169 ppi, and 16 million vibrant colors. Combine unequaled video with the rich clear sounds from the top-mounted stereo speakers, and lightening fast processor speed, and your Kindle Fire is perfect for streaming any of the 10,000 movies, Television shows, and music videos available through your free, one month trial membership to Amazon Prime (free with all Kindle Fire orders).
And, that’s not all…browse the web on your Kindle Fire with the exclusive Amazon Silk browser. Amazon Silk is a revolutionary, cloud-accelerated browser that uses a “split browser” architecture to leverage the computing speed and power of the Amazon Web Services cloud. And, unlike other tablet computers, the Amazon Kindle Fire supports the Adobe® Flash® Player, so you won’t miss a thing!
The Kindle Fire is also one of the best eReaders on the market, too…utilizing Amazon’s Kindle software, you can read the latest bestsellers, children’s books, comic books, and cookbooks, all in vibrant color. The Kindle Store offers over 1 million books, including 800,000 titles at $9.99 or less, plus over 2 million free, out-of-copyright, pre-1923 books, like Pride and Prejudice. And, just like the Amazon Kindle, the Kindle Fire uses Amazon’s unique Whispersync technology to automatically sync your library, last page read, bookmarks, notes, and highlights across all of your devices. Even better, on the Kindle Fire, Whispersync extends to video, so you can start streaming a movie on Kindle Fire, and pick up right where you left off on your TV! No more pushing buttons, and fast forwarding to figure out where to start.
