Read LAPTOP's review of the Kindle Fire to find out if Amazon's first tablet is the right one for you. Amazon Kindle Fire HD review - Tablet. The Amazon Kindle Fire HD is the first colour screen Kindle to come to the UK. It may belong to the bookish Kindle series, but this is really a 7- inch tablet like the Google Nexus 7 or i. Pad mini. It's affordable, it's portable and it gives you easy access to the expansive worlds of music, video and literary content that Amazon owns. It's rather swish, and a good buy as long as you can live with the highly simplified, Amazon- focussed interface. Amazon Kindle Fire 8gb Wi-fi 7in - Black![]() Amazon Kindle Fire 8gb Wi-fi 7in - Black Review![]() Amazon Kindle Fire HD Design.

Compare Amazon Kindle Fire Hd 7 2014 vs. Apple Ipad Mini With Retina Display Wi Fi. I really cannot compliment Amazon enough for their range of products which link my content. I think it is a bit stingy they don't provide an HDMI for the Fire TV but. However, in its class the Kindle Fire HD is larger and heavier than most. There's a wide bezel area all the way around the 7- inch display, one that's much larger than seen in the Nexus 7 or i. Pad mini. At 3. 95g, it's a fair bit heavier too. This becomes noticeable when you try and hold the thing one- handed. It's not too heavy to use like this, but borders on that danger zone. Unlike the Nexus 7, it's also too wide to grip side- to- side in one hand. Amazon may try and counter these claims by saying that the Kindle Fire HD is designed to be used in landscape aspect - and it clearly is - but it's nevertheless a curious design decision. Aside from the extra width and weight, this is a very well- made little tablet. Its touchscreen is covered by a sheet of toughened glass, and the rest is plastic. Although plastic generally doesn't provide the most desirable finish or feel, Amazon has put in the extra effort to make the Kindle Fire HD feel right in- hand. The edge of the tablet is plain old plastic, but the rear panel has a soft touch finish that's much kinder on your fingers. Soft touch plastic is used in the new Kindle Paperwhite, keeping the feel consistent across the range. There's a strip of glossy black plastic on the rear too, which is a home to the speaker grilles. It interrupts the soft touch panel, but you can always turn the tablet over so it's not under your fingers when watching a film, for example. Unlike most tablets, the Kindle Fire HD has stereo speakers that fire out from each end of the body. The grilles are cleverly carved into the curved edges of the tablet, so even if the Kindle Fire HD is laid flat on its back, the sound isn't blocked. Ergonomically, the Kindle Fire HD is good, if not excellent. Its edges are bevelled to avoid feeling to severe in the hand, but the distinct seams mean it's not quite Apple- grade. But then, of course, neither is the price. The Amazon Kindle Fire HD costs just . Its processor is a dual- core 1. GHz OMAP 4. 46. 0 chip, and there's 1. GB of RAM on- board. This combo doesn't quite provide as much power as the Tegra 3 processor of the Google Nexus 7, but is a decent spec for an Android- based system. We'll cover real- life performance later. Amazon Kindle Fire HD Connectivity. Although the Kindle Fire HD doesn't quite have the pure grunt of the Google Nexus 7, it does better the Google tablet on hardware connectivity. It's still basic, but here you get a micro. HDMI video output on the bottom as well as the micro. USB charge socket and 3. There's no memory card slot here, and you need to choose between the 1. GB and 3. 2GB models carefully, because that's all the local storage you'll get. The Amazon Kindle Fire HD doesn't fare too well with wireless connections. This is a Wi- Fi only tablet, and there's no GPS or NFC. Many buyers may not care, but this rules- out being able to use the tablet as an in- car GPS device, which the Google Nexus 7 can handle - with the right app in tow. Aside from Wi- Fi, all you get is Bluetooth, letting you connect with Bluetooth speakers and headphones.
