There will be two different models, one that includes advertising cheaper and one a little more expensive than worth the price for the convenience of eliminating any ad that could hinder our reading.

Product Reviews

On a technical level the two models are equal Fire Kindle, Amazon has chosen a rather interesting strategy that has proven very successful. For 160 euros we access the traditional Kindle Fire tablet 7 inch screen, Internet connection via WiFi and resolution of 1025 x 600 pixels. The internal memory is 8 GB storage and uses an advertising system that offers on-screen displays in the moments that we are not using the device.

 

 

For 180 euros acquired a version identical to the processor is the same with the frequency of 1.2 GHz and 1 GB of RAM, but the sample is removed advertisements. It is an interesting option for users who do not wish at any time to see Amazon advertising to promote their products. For 20 euros the difference is small but there are those who prefer to save and use the advertising model of Kindle Fire. Particularly not mind as he bids on the screen only when we are not reading or using the tablet.
But Amazon does not stand still and continues to grow its family of Kindle Fire tablets with the new HD. This model has a higher resolution screen, 1280 x 800 pixels, and a dual-core processor.
This new version is better in terms of availability as it comes in four different versions according to the size of the buffer. There then version 16 or 32 GB with or without advertising. The respective rates are: 200, 214, 250 and 264 euros.

 

Any of the models of Kindle Fire tablet runs on the Android operating system but with a retouched version that includes the application shop Amazon. You can install Google Play Store with a simple touch and thereafter enjoy the thousands of applications available in the official Google store but Amazon is not bad, it's just smaller.
The increased importance of Kindle Fire in the tablet market is that it was one of the first devices to present fight against iPad, the king until recently sales and product of 7 inches. The arrival of Nexus and Samsung landing in the world of tablets has changed the landscape but Amazon still has a strong presence in the sector.
The devices offer high quality and low price also served to encourage Google to launch Nexus 7 and 10 or smaller versions of iPad mini. So Kindle Fire is still there and maybe get a good number of sales with its new Kindle Fire HD device.
