In 2011, Amazon surprised us with the Kindle Fire, an Android-based 7-inch tablet that made it easier than ever to watch video, read books, and of course buy stuff from Amazon. It came at a time when smaller tablets were not very common or popular, and it provided a way to access Amazons content stores when there wasnt really one before — all at an aggressive price. It’s also the best way to access Amazon’s wealth of content on the go, but it doesnt quite give the iPad mini or the Nexus 7 a run for their money. Now Amazon is releasing the 7-inch HDX’s bigger brother: an 8.9-inch model with an incredibly high-resolution display and the same signature design features seen on the smaller version.
