The Amazon Kindle is no longer just an e-reader. Make way for the Kindle Fire.
Steve Jobs once said that he would never succumb to the idea of an iPad mini “The 10-inch screen size is the minimum size required to create great tablet apps”. However, the 7-inchers are here, and have become just as successful as any of the larger tablet devices.
The Kindle may just be known as an apparatus for storing and reading books, but the Fire has hit the tablet arena and proved to rival even the very strongest brands namely, the iPad, the GoogleNexus 7, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9. 
This tablet comes with a quad core processer, dedicated space to access movies, games, apps, music etc, and comes with a gorgeous looking price tag attached. At £159 we couldn’t want for more, fantastic value for money. It does everything you want a tablet to do, why on earth would you pay triple the price when you can get your mitts on this fabulous little number?
The Kindle Fire HD is easy and simple to use, offering good graphics with a screen resolution better than the iPad providing a large and sharp display, while the size is the perfect in-between option when you don’t know whether you should go for a smartphone or an iPad.
Don’t buy the Kindle Fire HD if you are intending it just to be your holiday companion, there when you want to immerse yourself in a good book. The screen is difficult to see in sunlight, and the original Kindle is a much better option if you simply want an e-reader. The original Kindle does the job of downloading and reading electronic books with utter perfection. The Fire is an all-purpose tablet acting as windows onto Amazon’s wonder multimedia world.
However, the App variety isn’t as good as what is on offer in Apple’s store but the media library is extensive and wide-ranging. The battery life doesn’t last long but that’s not much of a surprise when it comes to these memory eating devices.
Nonetheless, the Kindle Fire HD is an amazing fully functional tablet, fully recommended and worth every penny.
