Amazon Intros New Kindles

[Nick]

Some pretty cool ones.

The new "paperlight" kindle is thinner and has a lit screen, $129

The 10" tablet - Kindle Fire HD - looks pretty sweet, I think it's either $300 for just wifi or $500 for LTE but gets 250mb / mo of data for only $50 a year ... which is pretty cool for when you are on the go. A nice 1920x1200 DPI screen too.

Then the regular Kindle 7" Fire competing against the Nexus, drops to $179, still think I would probably go for the Nexus 7 over the Kindle.

These do look nice. At least for me the big selling point for Nexus (7 and Galaxy) is the unlocked bootloader. I always want root on my devices and prefer not to have to hack the device to do it.

Yeah I would be interested in the larger Kindle Fire HD but I would want to go AOSP and get the standard basic Android on there if possible.

Glad I didn't wait for Amazon's announcement before I bought my Nexus 7...
