Odds are, if you're reading this, you are thinking about purchasing the Kindle Fire. You are likely a Kindle owner interested in upgrade, or maybe you are looking into the Fire as an e-reader and tablet. As far as pricing, it will not get better than the Kindle Fire. Amazon made available their custom Android tablet in November of 2011 at a cost under $200. It absolutely was a thought out move right before Christmas. It rocketed the Kindle Fire to the #1 spot on Amazon's Best Sellers list.
The very first Kindle was introduced in 2007. The system was around the size of a medium paperback book developed specifically for reading. When Amazon made available the 3rd generation of Kindle, which mainly mirrored the 1st with the same E-Ink technology found in black and white only, Barnes and Noble launched the Nook Color. Consumers started customizing their Android powered Nooks to not only read books, but to play 3D games and run apps in color. The Nook Color completely revolutionised the 7-inch tablet market.
It seemed to be a no-brainer for Amazon to reply to Barnes and Noble with the Kindle Fire. The Kindle Fire sports a custom version of Google's Android Gingerbread os. The highly well-designed and user-friendly interface, called the Carousel, makes it a straight forward device for anyone. The Kindle Fire is the first Kindle with a fully functional web browser. It's not just any old browser either. It's name is Silk and provides users a very computer-like Internet experience.
Since Amazon has been a web-based retailer of books and music, they've used the Kindle Fire to monopolize entertainment. With the Fire, they rolled out a free month of membership for their Prime program allowing users ability to access well over 20,000 videos and TV shows. Users can purchase virtually every type of content for the Kindle Fire including Android apps. There's a large library of this content which can be found for free, consequently it fits any budget.
The Amazon Kindle Fire retrieves content in a matter of seconds by using a Wi-Fi connection. It offers plenty of storage capacity, however, any constraint is quelled by means of the free cloud storage offered through Amazon. All the content delivered electronically to your Kindle is stored online with your Amazon account. The focus on reading hasn't faded. Kindle books are now in full color, and you do not need an external light to read the display.
You might be asking "what's bad about the Kindle Fire?" Is there a reason it is so inexpensive? Amazon designed the Fire to compete with the big boys such as the iPad and also other well known tablets. The price alone makes it a competitor. The functionality is fabulous. The negative would have to be in the constraints put on by Amazon. Consumers can only install apps from the Amazon App Store unless you sideload them by linking the Fire to your computer. Amazon conveniently does not include the cord required to do this with the Fire. Luckily, if you own a third generation Kindle, the cord supplied with that device will work or you can buy one separately on, you guessed it, Amazon's website.
The biggest supplier of Android apps, the Google Android Market, will not work on the Kindle Fire without some major manipulation which will void the warranty. Additionally, individuals who have used an iPad will see the lag in the Android Os. Then again, the performance has been significantly improved in the Android 4.0 OS. A few will determine that this makes the Kindle Fire a substandard device. Others will decide that such small things make it well worth its low price. If you can accept those few things, then the Kindle Fire might be the device for you.
