Amazon Kindle Fire HD


Feel and performance
According to Amazon, software optimizations for the 8.9-inch version aren't quite there yet, so we only got limited exposure. It's definitely larger than the 7-inch, but is also thinner, and aside from a different processor model and probably some other smaller component differences, the 8.9-inch and 7-inch tablets are spec for spec the same.
The 7-inch version feels a little big and to be honest, we weren't 100 percent sure it wasn't the 8.9-inch version we were looking at when it was first placed in our hands. After a quick on-the-spot measurement using our fingers and our estimation as to how long an inch is, we confirmed we were indeed looking at the 7-inch version and proceeded to dive in.
The tablet is made mostly of plastic with a iPad-like beveled backside. The back is also smooth and feels less grippy than the original Fire. Also on the back, Dolby Digital Plus speakers adorn the left and right sides and dip ever-so-slightly into the tablet's edge. And wow, are these speakers powerful. We didn't really get a chance to truly evaluate their quality, but they're definitely loud.amazon kindle fire hd
