Amazon released their newest version of the Amazon Kindle Fire HD Tablet and I have to say it is a GAME CHANGER (see why in the Amazon Device Exclusive Benefits).
Described as “the most powerful tablet under $100” it has 6″ HD display, quad processor and front/rear cameras for the low, low price of $99.00.
In addition to being the most powerful tablet under $100, they have released the new Amazon Kindle Fire HD Tablet in five new colors (black, magenta, white, citron, and cobalt).
And if the hardware and color (hey, a girl needs to accessorize) wasn’t enough, they have added these new Amazon Device Exclusive Benefits.
What Are The New Amazon Fire HD Benefits
Immediate video start with ASAP: No more waiting for a video to buffer every time you hit “Play.” ASAP (Advanced Streaming and Prediction) learns what movies and shows you like and gets them ready for you to watch.
Prime Instant Video downloads: Prime members can now download over half of our collection of Prime Instant Video movies and TV shows to Fire tablets. (GET OUT!!) Watch downloaded videos anywhere—on a plane, on vacation, in the car, or wherever you don’t have a wireless connection. Prime Instant Video is the only U.S. online video subscription streaming service that offers offline viewing, included at no additional cost. (DUDE, this may be worth the cost of PRIME if you do any long car trips.)
Watch on the big screen: Fling movies and TV shows from your tablet to your big-screen TV using Second Screen. This turns your TV into the primary screen, freeing up your Fire HD to provide playback controls, a customized display for X-Ray, or simply be a place to email, browse the web, and more while you watch a movie. Second Screen is available for Amazon Fire TV, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Samsung TVs.
X-Ray for music, movies, and TV: With X-Ray for music, see lyrics display line-by-line for many of your favorite songs. Powered by IMDb, X-Ray for movies and TV can instantly show which actors are currently on screen, jump to other movies in which they star, and more.
And in addition to the new Kindle Fire HD, they have also released a Kindle Fire HD Kids Edition for $149.00 (and it also comes in blue, green or pink).
What makes this Kindle Fire different than the rest? Here are a couple of things:
- It includes a two-year “they break it, we will replace it” warranty.
- Free Kids Proof Case
- One year of Amazon FreeTime Unlimited – 5,000 FREE apps, books, movies, shows, and games with parental controls, so you decide what items and for how long your kid can play.
- FreeTime Camera and Photo – that let’s kids take pictures, but not share them on social networks.
- Plus all of the Amazon Fire HD benefits described above (see comment about being able to download Amazon Prime Instant Video content.)
I know I’m preaching to the choir about the Kindle Fire. But in my opinion it is the best tablet deal available because of all the extras Amazon gives…
- FREE Time App – Set daily screen limits, and give access to appropriate content for each child and the Kindle FreeTime Unlimited App.
- FREE month of Amazon Prime and Prime Instant Video. – Unlimited, instant streaming of thousands of popular movies and TV shows.
- Kindle Lending Library – Kindle owners can choose from hundreds of thousands of books to borrow for free with no due dates, including over 100 current and former New York Times best sellers.
