Kindle Fire HD 2013 is expected to debut in September

Amazon owes its success to the policy adopted on the tablet. In a market crowded with premium devices with a hardware configuration of a high standard and very affordable prices, the American company decided to focus on price. The Kindle Fire, they had a much lower cost than the competition, because Amazon had to recover a few dollars in losses with the paid services offered to the user. According to the latest straight to BGR, Amazon had decided to back off, or at least to change direction, leaving the budget end of the market to its competitors and focusing on premium tablet.
The new Kindle Fire HD will be thinner and lighter than the current one and will integrate a 7-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels), but also a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC 800 (MSM8974) with 2GB of RAM. This processor will allow the tablet to be fast (4-core Krait from about 400 2GHz), and snappy performance in graphics (thanks to Adreno 330). Amazon has provided versions of WiFi-only and WiFi +3 G , with storage of 16GB, 32GB and 64GB , front-facing camera (but not back). A change will also be the software bundle, with the debut release of the new Kindle OS based on Android 4.2.2.
Kindle Fire HD 8.9 will feature a data sheet similar to the 7-inch model (still a Qualcomm SoC?), but the display will have a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels enhanced by a rear camera 8 megapixel. The base model, the Kindle Fire, 2013, will cost $159, but for now there are no known hardware specifications. We'll know more in the coming weeks, for now Amazon does not want to comment on these rumors but you can check the latest news at Amazon.com.

3 new Amazon Kindle Fire in 2014

Amazon renews their ebook readers and tablets, launching of new models before the Christmas break taking advantage of the hectic year-end shopping. Although, the big online shop has not released details about the next-generation Kindle Fire,the guys at BGR seem to have taken away some interesting information. Amazon will release 3 new tablets this year, each with a display having a resolution higher than the model it will replace. So let's try to make some assumptions.

Kindle Fire
Now, Amazon sells its Kindle Fire entry-level tablet with 7-inch display (1024 x 600 pixels) at a price of 159 Euros. According to BGR, in 2014, the base model will have a display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and probably the same price.

If the entry-level model will have an HD display, like Amazon will be able to differentiate the more expensive model? With a Full HD display. The model from 199 € will be a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels of a 1920 x 1200 pixels.
Kindle Fire HD 8.9
Finally, Amazon should replace the screen of 1920 x 1200 pixels of its 8.9-inch tablet, with one having a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. The current Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is sold at 269 euro and the goal is to propose the next version for the same price (or about).
According to BGR, the new Kindle Fire will also feature a new design , a little 'edgier and more personal. The devices weigh less than the current models and the volume buttons and power will be moved to the rear. As happens for every indiscretion, even in this case it is necessary to have much caution, despite being a likely upgrade in "ropes" of Amazon. The tablet market, in fact, seems to be moving towards high-resolution screens, in general, and if Amazon wants to continue to be a leader in the field of e-books, magazines and films, will have to follow this trend or better lead.
