On September 28, 2011, Amazon.com announced a new product from their Kindle line. This new Kindle model is a full color device that allows the user to read books as well as watch television shows, view movies, read magazines, play apps, and browse the web. The Kindle Fire is being released on November 21, 2011, just in time for the Christmas season. Looking at the success Amazon has with its previous Kindle products, the new one is sure to be a hit.
The Amazon Kindle Fire allows you to access over 18 million pieces of media, including movies, magazines, newspapers, TV shows, apps, and games. They are viewed on the device's 7 inch vibrant color touch screen display. Web browsing done through the new Amazon Silk, a browser built by the company to offer faster page loads and transit times when using the Fire to surf the internet.
Eight GB of internal storage are available on the Fire. This amount of memory holds approximately 80 apps as well as 10 movies, 800 songs, or 6,000 books. Battery life is not as good as the other Kindle versions, but they don't come close to doing what the Kindle Fire can. A single charge can provide 8 hours of power for continuous reading. It will also handle about 7 1/2 hours of video playback before needing to be recharged.
This is a great eReader and tablet all in one that is easy to transport. Weighing 14.6 ounces, it is a lightweight device that can be held in one hand. The Fire measures 7.5 x 4.7 x 0.45 inches, making it easy to carry in your bag. Protective cases are also available for the Kindle Fire on Amazon.com.

Is the Amazon Kindle Fire Worth It?
Because it is still in the pre-order stage, there are no customer reviews for the Amazon Kindle Fire. However, judging by the success of the past Kindle products, it is safe to say that this one will become a bestselling personal electronic device as well. The Fire is available on Amazon.com for $199, and will ship out on November 21, 2011, making it a great gift choice for the holiday season.
