The new, lower-priced Kindle Fire -- not to be confused with the 7- and 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD models -- has improved processor speed (1.2 GHz, but an unspecified processor on Amazon's store page), twice the RAM as the first Kindle Fire (1GB), and a longer battery life (up to nine hours, according to Amazon, thanks to being "re-tuned to optimize power consumption"). It still lacks a camera, Bluetooth, or a new design: this is really a slight spec refresh and a chance to make an already good product even more price-competitive, with the same 7-inch, 1,024x600-pixel, 169 ppi IPS display. Storage capacity is the same as on the previous Kindle Fire: 8GB, which amounts to only 5.5 GB of user storage. There's no SD card slot, either.
It's unclear, too, how many of the new software features detailed on the Kindle Fire HD will make their way to this Kindle Fire, but a few important ones have made the cut: X-Ray for both books and movies, Immersion Reading (simultaneous audible e-book listening synced to e-book pages), and Kindle FreeTime, a kid-oriented way of managing access to the Kindle Fire.amazon kindle fire
