Amazon has announced its newest member to the Kindle family. The Amazon Kindle Fire might be just another tablet computer, but it brings a lot to the table and might just be compelling enough to ignite the crowded tablet marketplace.The Amazon Kindle Fire is extremely inexpensive at $200 and will have access to Amazon’s vast movie library, App store and cloud-storage space to keep all of your Apps and other purchases. The Kindle line-up has always been popular, and now that they have a model with this type of display, content and power, there’s no limit as to how many this android-based device will sell.
Reasons The Amazon Kindle Fire Will Succeed
The Amazon Kindle Fire sports a dual processor, 8GBs of memory, a 7″ multi-touch screen and many other great features. In addition, Amazon Prime members will have access to unlimited, instant streaming of over 10,000 movies and TV shows.
The Kindle also already has a vast user-base of loyal customers that buy every version of Kindle that comes out.
The Kindle Fire with all the best Apps, movies and music
But it’s about the movies, apps, convenient size and price that will drive this hardware. The iPad can feel too bulky at times. The kindle Fire’s 7″ screen fits comfortably between the iPad and the iTouch. This form-factor seems like it would be great for both movies and surfing the web, and can easily be held in one hand for an extended period of time. Regarding price, the Kindle Fire is cheaper than the iTouch and a few hundred dollars cheaper than the iPad. It also has Kindle’s Whispersync technology, which allows you to pick up watching a movie on your television where you left off on the Fire.
In addition to this announcement, Amazon also dropped the price of their other Kindle models–the cheapest now only $79.

So we want to hear from our readers. Is this something you’ll buy when it comes out in November of 2011? If so, why?
Awesome! I just pre-ordered one! For some reason the iPad and Xoom were just short of appealing to me – but this Kindle Fire is exactly what I want. I’ve already got a lot of content on Amazon.com, so this is a no brainer! Thanks for letting us know about this.
