Amazon releases a new 7 inch Android tablet that is simply called Kindle Fire. The online retail giant said that it is not like any other tablet in the market. It said that it is a physical Amazon account and was designed for shopping.
The Amazon Kindle Fire is not the most versatile tablet around. It also not out to compete against Apple’s iPad. In some ways, it is not like any typical Android tablet. The hardware belongs to the owner of the tablet but to enjoy it, the user must buy contents and apps from Amazon.
It is not an e-reader. It is a multimedia mobile device for online surfing and emails. Although its backlit LCD screen is no match for e-ink, it is still good enough for browsing, watching videos, and reading. If you’re looking for just an e-reader, then go for any other Kindle because the Fire is designed to complement a Kindle and not a replacement.
The combination of an Amazon Kindle Fire and any other Kindle e-reader is still cheaper than most tablets in the market. Its below-200 dollar price tag would attract Amazon subscribers to spend more for video, music, games, and apps just like the way they spend for books on their Kindle readers.
