You are most likely a Kindle owner interested in upgrade, or you are considering the Fire for an e-reader and tablet. With regards to pricing, it does not get better than the Kindle Fire. Amazon introduced their custom Android tablet in November of 2011 at a cost slightly below $200. It truly was a thought out move just before Christmas. In no time, it climbed to Amazon's top sellers list. The earliest Kindle was introduced in 2007. The device was around the size of a medium paperback book developed specifically for reading. When Amazon made available the third generation of Kindle, which effectively mirrored the 1st with the same E-Ink technology for sale in black and white only, Barnes and Noble launched the Nook Color. Users began customizing their Android powered Nooks not only to read books, but to play 3D games and run apps in full color. The Nook Color completely revolutionized the 7-inch tablet market. It truly was a no-brainer for Amazon to respond to Barnes and Noble with the Kindle Fire. The Kindle Fire sports a customized version of Google's Android Gingerbread os. The extremely well-designed and user-friendly interface, Carousel, makes it a relatively easy gadget for anyone. The Kindle Fire is the first Kindle having a fully functional browser. It is not just any browser either. It's known as Silk and provides users a very computer-like Internet experience. Since Amazon happens to be an internet superstore of books and music, they have used the Kindle Fire to monopolize entertainment. With the Fire, they rolled out a totally free month of membership for their Prime program giving users ability to access more than 20,000 videos and television shows. Users can buy virtually any kind of content for the Kindle Fire including Android apps. There's a large library of this content that is available completely free, thus it fits any budget. The Kindle Fire downloads content in just a few seconds via the Wi-Fi connection. It includes plenty of storage capacity, but any limit is quelled via free cloud storage currently offered through Amazon. All of the content delivered electronically to your Kindle is backed up online using your Amazon account. The focus on reading has not faded. Kindle books are now in full color, and you don't need an external light to read the display. You may be questioning "what's wrong with the Kindle Fire?" Why is it so low cost? Amazon made the Fire to contend with the big boys such as the iPad and also other well known tablets. The price tag alone makes it a competitor. The functionality is superb. The negative would have to be in the limitations put on by Amazon. Users can only download apps from the Amazon App Store unless you sideload them by connecting the Fire to your computer. Amazon conveniently doesn't include the cord required to do this with the Fire. The good news is, if you own a 3rd generation Kindle, the cord supplied with that device will work or you can purchase one separately on Amazon's website. The number one supplier of Android apps, the Google Android Market, will not work on the Amazon Kindle Fire without major manipulation that will void the warranty. Additionally, anyone who has used an iPad will notice the lag in the Android Operating System. Having said that, the performance has been significantly improved in the Android 4.0 OS. Many will determine this makes the Kindle Fire an inferior device. Others will determine that such small things make it well worth its low price. Provided you can get around those few things, then the Kindle Fire may be the device for you. To get more info about the Kindle Fire and Android tablets visit Android Tablet Reviews HQ.
