It is known that the new Kindle Fire tablets are underway, but is it true that Amazon plans to launch a total of 6 different models, that's what it says Demos Parneros, President of the resale store chain Staples is one of the vendors in the Kindle Fire.
Parneros also was kind enough to confirm that the new Fire will be available in different sizes and there will be a 10-inch model.
The launch 6 tablets at a time seems a project very greedy, but otherwise can be an effective move because in this way the products offered will be adjusted to the different demands of customers.
If you plan to buy the Kindle Fire soon, it may be better to wait a couple of months to see the new models and technology to incorporate.
