The latest Amazon tablet, the Kindle Fire is all set to retail from Best Buy starting November 15. The Kindle device had announced back in September alongside the new generation Kindle, Kindle Touch and Touch 3G e-readers.
The latest device comes embedded with a 7-inch full color LCD touchscreen featuring 16 million colors and 169 pixels per inch. It presents users with an expansive collection of over 17,000,000 songs from Amazon MP3 along with 100,000 movies and TV shows as well as more than 1,000,000 books in the Kindle library.
“We are excited to work with Amazon to provide consumers the opportunity to touch, test, try and buy the Kindle Fire in all Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores nationwide. The Kindle Fire and other new products in the Kindle family will be some of the hottest gifts this holiday season and we are delighted to offer these devices as part of our ever-expanding tablet and e-reader selection at Best Buy,” cited Wendy Fritz, senior vice president of Computing at Best Buy.
This tablet packs in an internal memory of 8GB and provides free storage in the Amazon Cloud for users’ Amazon content. It is integrated with Amazon’s Whispersync technology which automatically syncs users Kindle library, bookmarks, last read page, highlights and notes. The device makes use of the Amazon Silk cloud-accelerated web browser that employs a ‘split browser’ technique to extract the best out of the computing speed and power of the Amazon Web Services cloud.
The Kindle Fire will be available at all Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores from November 15 for a price of $199.99.
