Amazon's e-reader and tablet Kindle Fire is a great offering from Amazon.com, the world's largest online retailer. The Kindle Fire is a 7 inch full color tablet that runs on an Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS. The Kindle Fire offers some top notch features at a very affordable price and is set out to be stiff competition to the likes of iPad and Galaxy Tab. The main competitor is the Nook vs Kindle. It offers millions of books, movies, TV shows, and songs online. A stunning feature it offers is a huge cloud storage of 5GB. This means that you can store your music or files on the Amazon server and access them from absolutely any computer with internet connection. This way, you can access your music from anywhere, be it your laptop, desktop or at work. And the best part is, it does not use up the storage on your Kindle Fire.
The build of the Kindle Fire is impressive. A very strong Gorilla Glass display gives you great scratch resistance and a sturdy look. The back is finished with rubber that provides for a firm grip and a rugged look. The screen display clarity is very crisp and at par with the best in the market. There's a micro USB slot and a headphone jack at the bottom. Quite a bit has been said about the improper placement of the power button that tends to switch off accidentally. But this can be corrected after a while of usage. Kindle Fire provides an 8GB storage which may seem less to a lot of people, but is easily taken care of by the Amazon cloud storage.
The music is a strong feature of the Kindle Fire. Unlike iTunes, the music you download from Amazon is free from Digital Rights Management. This means that you can use music files any way you want and freely transfer them to other devices. Watching videos too is greatly convenient with the Kindle Fire. Apps like Hulu Plus, Netflix, and several others, and a prime membership of Amazon giving you access to thousands of movies and TV shows, makes the video experience a pleasure. The videos run very promptly and also have an easy resume option for any video you stopped watching halfway.
Magazines can be read in rich color and easy navigation allows for a smooth reading experience for newspapers, comics and books. A number of popular magazines like Oprah, Bon Appetite and Elle come inbuilt. Millions of books and comics are available from the Amazon store for just $9.99. The amazing display quality makes comics vibrant and fun. The efficient Amazon Silk browser is a treat and the overall performance of the Kindle Fire is very impressive considering you can own one for less than half the price of an iPad.
