What Do the Kindles Fire HD Bring?

Kindle has been around in the market for a while, now in its fifth generation. Many of the tablet users may have purchased one or two of those many models that Amazon has launched. They have worked hard to capture market share, in a customer segment where the interest is spending less money and getting more features. Amazon has been successful in capturing a certain percentage and in giving something worthy along the generations that it launched.

For Amazon, every new Kindle was an exciting new offer, but how the customers took them may not be the same. Few improvements that carried along the way were a more sensible key pad. Kindle has enjoyed a decent market share over the years, it was fun, tablets were still a new idea (well, tablets had been around for a while but this was the cooler version of the old ones) and most of the users bought Kindle as their first tablet device. Since then, a lot has changed, fancier tablets (more expensive though) have come across, with wireless connectivity, 3G connectivity and all sorts of features. Amazon has been trying to respond to customer needs and more importantly to stay as close to other tablets as they could. Kindle Fire and then Kindle Fire HD (5^thgeneration Kindles) have been a tremendous advancement from Kindle’s previous versions and came across more feature packed and most importantly with a bigger as well as touch – screen.

Kindle Fire HD, does attract customer attention and should manage to make waves in market. It will be available in two sizes, 7 inch and 8.9 inch screens. This will allow the customers to consider it a replacement of any old tablet they had. Be it the Kindle or any competitor versions.

Some points that may help you understand this device better:

• As the name suggests (the ‘HD’ part), it has better display than its predecessor giving the customers a better viewing and reading experience.
• Storage capacity that comes with this Kindle is 16 GB. This is also a good selling point since users nowadays upload everything and anything on their tablets, eating up space very quickly.
• Kindle Fire HD has a more powerful processor, again, helping a better experience while reading books, playing games, watching movies etc.
• The look and feel are pretty nice, with LCD touch screen, a rubbery back and finally the volume buttons. I would say, it is a nice device to hold in your hand and look at. Face value counts a lot when it comes to buying a modern day device and then hold it in your hand on everyday basis.
• Kindle Fire HD has a good sound quality compared to its older versions and even other tablets in the market. Normally, this is not something tablet manufacturers focus on, but still could be a differentiator when comparing with competitor devices.
• Like the old versions, the new model has an annoying feature, the ads. It brings up ads every now and then along the way which gets annoying pretty quickly.
• Last but not least, Kindle Fire HD is in the same price range as Google’s new tablet, making it face fierce competition, which means already losing customers to Google and other tablets.

 

Everyone was waiting on these new tablets to appear, and they sure don’t disappoint. They might not be the best devices of their type, but they definitely are among the best ones out there.
