Amazon Kindle Fire HD

The Kindle Fire HD is the second generation of Amazon's color touchscreen Kindle Fire tablet line announced on September 6, 2012. It is available in two form factors, 7 inch and 8.9 inch screen sizes. The 7 inch version was released on September 14, while the 8.9 inch model (with either Wi-Fi or 4G model) was released on November 20, 2012. The 8.9 inch model was initially available only in the United States, but in March 2013 it was released in additional countries.


At the low end, we have an upgraded version of last year's 7-incher, with a new non-Playbook-y design, 1280x800 display, Dolby audio with stereo speakers, dual-band, dual-antenna Wi-Fi, a dual-core processor, 16GB of storage, and an upgraded software experience. Moving up the line, you'll find a new 8.9-inch version, packing the same features along with a 1920x1200 screen, and at the high end, you'll find that same, larger model with 64GB of storage and LTE networking.
