Goodreads and Second Screen integration finally hitting Kindle Fire HD and HDX
Posted in: Today's Chili
Today marks the debut of two features we’ve been waiting for since Amazon first announced its new Kindle Fire line lo so many weeks ago. Goodreads and Second Screen integration will be rolling out to Fire HD and HDX owners over-the-air in the next couple of weeks – or you can just go to Amazon’s site and download Fire OS 3.1 right now. Goodreads brings social book reading features to the tablet, so you can rate and review books and find out what your friends are reading. Also, good news for those who like showing off their virtual bookshelves – you can actually import all of the print and e-books you’ve bought from Amazon over the years. Second Screen, meanwhile, lets you “fling” shows from your Fire to Samsung TVs and sets with a PS3 attached (PS4 support is coming before year’s end).
Also new for OS 3.1 is added enterprise support, Cloud Collections for organizing content off-device and voice diction. You can download the above in the source link below.

Amazon Intends To Sell 2 Million Kindle Fire HDs Before November 2013 Is Over
Posted in: Today's Chili
In life, it is always good to have a target – after all, it keeps you going and is the reason for existing, even when all other hope is snuffed out. Of course, one would also need to learn to manage expectations, and the same can be said of corporations as well. Amazon have recently shared their confidence in selling up to 2 million Kindle Fire HD tablets before November 2013 comes to a close. This might sound like a drop in the bucket for a company like Apple with their iPad, but where a solitary Android-powered tablet is concerned, it is still an extremely impressive figure. So far, there have been no reports of increased orders for the other tablet models by Amazon.
I suppose Amazon has good reason to be optimistic about the Kindle Fire HD, after all, it has been priced at a very competitive $139 and $169 for the 8GB and 16GB models, respectively. Not only that, they have received an overhaul in the design as well as hardware department, targeting the 7” entry-level tablet market. Do you think that Amazon will be able to meet their sales target before the Yuletide month kicks in? Only time will be able to tell, so all we need to do is sit tight and wait.

Well, Amazon has heeded that call, and just in case you are unable to purchase one of their recently announced higher end Kindle Fire HDX models with LTE connectivity, you might want to settle for something which is pretty proficient at what it does best without burning too large a hole in your pocket along the way. We are referring to the all new $139 Kindle Fire HD, where it will arrive in a slimmer as well as lighter form factor amongst other features.
The new Kindle Fire HD will also provide you with access to the exclusive benefits of the Amazon ecosystem, where among it will include the likes of Prime Instant Video, Kindle Owners’ Lending Library, Kindle MatchBook, AutoRip, and the world’s leading digital catalog with over 27 million movies, TV shows, songs, apps, games, books, audiobooks, and magazines.
Despite the relatively affordable price in comparison to its rivals, the Kindle Fire HD is not one that comes with less inferior hardware. No sir, the display itself, while not Full HD, delivers 1280 x 800 resolution and 216 pixels per inch, while a dual-core 1.5 GHz processor gets things done in a jiffy. Your ears too, will definitely be able to appreciate the dual stereo speakers with Dolby Digital Plus audio, where all of that has been crammed into a new slim chassis so that it resembles that of the new Kindle Fire HDX.
With dual-band Wi-Fi, it should not be an issue for you to experience fast streaming, downloads, and web browsing, while the operating system which the Kindle Fire HD runs on would be Fire OS 3.0 “Mojito” that will arrive with hundreds of new and upgraded features, platform updates, and Amazon-exclusive services.

In addition to the new Kindle Fire HDX, Amazon also has a new, low-cost model of the original Kindle Fire HD. But unlike the discount on the original Kindle Fire last year, the redesigned HD is a pretty good bargain at $140.

Though the Amazon Kindle Fire HD will indeed be bringing a set of specifications here in 2013 that essentially match those of its first edition from 2012, a new aesthetic has hit the holder of the ebooks. What you’re getting here is the same 1280 x 800 pixel display with 1.5Ghz dual-core processor under the […]

The team at Amazon behind the Kindle Fire series of smart tablets have made some relatively major changes to the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. Besides adding an “X” to the name, the body of this machine has been completely redesigned – no more internal midframe, for example, here you’ll find a magnesium cast unibody. The […]

Amazon has upped their game once again with the 2013 edition of the Kindle Fire, called in this case Kindle Fire HDX. The HDX represents the high-definition resolution of the display, that being 1920 x 1200 (aka 322 DPI) across 7-inches of screen real-estate, the same smaller-size panel as 2012′s Kindle Fire HD

So, imagine you just shelled out $200 or $300 for one of those new Kindle Fire HDXs, only to have it scratch in your backpack as you pull it out to gloat to one of your friends. Oh, you poor, poor soul. If only you’d had the foresight to pick up an Origami cover. Like the new tablets, the case goes up for pre-order today — and will start shipping at the same time as their respective devices. Jeff Bezos was pretty keen to show the accessories off today, demonstrating how built-in magnets allow them to fold together in such a way that the tablets can be positioned in either landscape or portrait modes.
Neater still for the 8.9-inch version (the one with the rear-facing camera, mind), is a feature that triggers the photo app when the cover is slid down on the slate. Behold, magnetic magic that would leave the Insane Clown Posse pondering scientific inquiry for months to come. Amazon’s made cases for both HDX models and the new HD. The polyurethane versions of the 7- and 8.9-inch HDX cases run $50 and $55, respectively, with the leather versions coming in at $65 and $70. The covers for the HD run $45 and $60.
