    Kindle Fire HDX eBook Reader Preview

    Kindle is one of the best eBook readers available today. It starts with a sleek black and white device which offers great readability. Designed only for reading eBook you can have your entire library on this portable device. It has quiet successful. The next era was of Tablets, when a high rich portable device loaded with Android and ultra smooth interface offers to do more. You can watch your favorite movie, play games, share images with friend and do lot more stuff. This was the time when Amazing released Kindle Fire. Another rich version that offer you Android OS and more benefits. Now Amazing came out with a more amazing device, an upgraded version of Kindle Fire called Kindle Fire HDX. The device is yet waiting to appear finally on the site, but somehow we are able to catch a small preview which can highlight its prime feature. Kindle Fire HDX is better this time. This device has two models that come in two different screen sizes and a non HDX version also.

    The regular 7iinch HDX will cost $229. And a bigger one that has 8.9inch screen size will cost $379. And if you go for the re-designed HD version then you have to pay $139 for 8.9inch version. The first benefit that we get here is an amazing design. It is sleeker and now powered by a cover with simple stand. It looks Amazon has seriously worked on the device on the basis of competition from other products in the market. Just some ago iPad Mini is released that provide us an affordable edition. And already a high end tablet Nvidia Tegra Note is on its way to release. Kindle was never meant for gaming. It is designed for reading purpose and a bit of added benefit makes it better. New Kindle HDX is loaded with a Quad Core CPU. The CPU is Snapdragon 800 2.2 GHz cup. This cup is also used in some of the high end Smartphone released recent. Also it will have a gpu, which is an Anderno 330 Dual Core graphics. So it looks that Amazon is now extending the product line more towards performance in order to compete with other models in the market.

    Re: Kindle Fire HDX eBook Reader Preview

    A quad core cup enhances the multi-tasking ability and dedicated gpu chip allows more to the gaming part. It is pressure sure that this time Kindle Fire HDX emerged as a full featured tablet, which is not only meant for reading eBooks. The design is entirely different. It is thinner and has a lightweight design. Most of the things are similar on both screen size models. The difference lies in camera and weight. Kindle Fire HDX 7inc tablet offer you a single front camera only. The 8.9inch models come with a dual camera that has an 8MP primary camera with flash and good resolution. The storage of both is same. It is 16GB. For battery output amazing this time claims to extend the battery life. It is capable of to work more than 15hours if you are only interested in reading eBooks. But if you will use it for multimedia purpose then you can expected a battery output around 10 hours. Compare to the older edition this are more lighter and thinner.

    The non-HDX model which is Fire HD is released an affordable pricing. If you think that the HDX series is costly, but want to have a new Kindle with amazing design, then you can opt for HD series. This is a bit low on hardware and has more less features. Like for the CPU instead of Quad Core process you have a 1.5 GHz Dual core CPU in it. The resolution is also lower here. Due to which it is cheaper. It is great to find that, Amazon has given out products in different ranges. From high end to affordable series. So that everyone can have the benefit of new design. Amazon has also started something new with the tablet pc. This would be the first time, a tablet is going to have 24x7 tech support. It is only for HDX. This new tech support is called as Mayday. You can directly video chat with a tech support guy on the other side and ask for any issue if you are facing. You can get details about the tablet features, how to use it and tons of new things from it. It works well on wifi only.

    For operating system Amazon says that this new tablets are running on FireOS. It is built on Android Jellybean. Now having a new OS creates a problem of using different applications from Google Play. I am not really sure whether it is going to work on them or not. Amazon is working on its own app store for the same. I hope this would be better this time. Because if we have a direct Android OS like optimized version of Jellybean with many new updates, then using apps on them is more easy. But this thing is not supported on this set. Called as Fire OS apps would be completely different for the same. There is no clear information on the same. Kindle Fire is working on ICS and might be the HD series would have an upgraded version. Let’s wait and watch.
