Amazon's Kindle Fire e-reader began production in 2011 and was unofficially billed as the "iPad killer." The low price immediately put the new e-rider among the most popular new products.
There is nothing superfluous in the design of the new "reading room", while everything is done very soundly. High-quality materials, the absence of any gaps between the panels, squeaks and other minor flaws against the background of quite decent technical characteristics and a low price ($ 200) - all this immediately made the new tablet one of the most demanded devices. In Russia, its price is approximately 7,500 rubles.
Some experts believe that such a low price for a tablet of this class is due to the fact that Amazon sells it at cost, or even at a loss. In this case, the manufacturer expects that the income will not come from the sale of the device, but the purchase of digital content by the user in the amazon.com online store.
It was the low price of the tablet against the background of good technical characteristics that led to the fact that it began to sell out very quickly, and by the beginning of autumn 2012 the company had sold all the stocks of manufactured devices. This means that it is no longer possible to buy a gadget on the manufacturer's website. However, there is still an opportunity to purchase the Kindle Fire in some online stores that have not yet had time to sell all the purchased tablets. You can search for it in stores such as: ReaderONE, GadgetGadget, Torg-PC, SotMarket.ru, JUST.ru.
If you like this tablet, you need to hurry up with your purchase, as there will be no new Kindle Fire arrivals. However, there is no longer any doubt that Amazon is launching the production of Kindle Fire 2 - an updated "reader", the presentation of which will most likely take place on September 6th. The new tablet has a built-in microphone for video calls and a front-facing camera, and it can work with Skype. There is also information that the geolocation function is implemented in the gadget. The price of the new model has not yet been announced, but it will certainly be low. That is why it might make sense to wait a bit to get a new tablet model from Amazon.
