Amazon is so confident that you’ll love its new Kindle Fire HDX tablet as soon as you start using it that it’s giving “VIP customers” 30 days to try the device before they have to hand over any cash. If those customers then decide they don’t want the device, they can simply hand it back.
Amazon is in the process of rolling out a rather hefty over-the-air update for both the Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX. The upgrade brings several new software features, including the integration of Goodreads, Smart Lookup, Wi-Fi print and enhanced enterprise features.
While the iPad’s Retina display has traditionally been considered the finest tablet display on the market, that’s no longer the case thanks to Amazon. Its new high-end Kindle Fire HDX has the best tablet display ever tested by DisplayMate expert Dr. Raymond Soneira, “significantly outperforming” the iPad Air’s in several key areas.
Amazon has today unveiled its new third-generation tablet called the Kindle Fire HDX. Like its predecessors, the device is available in 7-inch and 8.9-inch variants, and both feature speedy quad-core Snapdragon 800 processors, high-resolution displays, 2GB of RAM, and stereo speakers.
The larger model also offers an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, which is a first for the Kindle Fire lineup.
In addition to the new models, Amazon has refreshed the Kindle Fire HD to add improved displays, faster processors, and Amazon’s latest software. The retail giant has also reduced the price of the 7-inch device to $139, while the 8.9-inch model is now just $269.
