Is the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 just a bigger HD 7, or something else? Don’t decide on that fire untilyou see my

Kindle Fire ReviewsPicture (10/10)

Sporting a 1920×1200 resolution on an 8.9 inch screen gives us 254PPI (Pixel-per-inch.) It boasts an IPS LCD, which gives it nice, wideviewing angles and an incredibly clear picture. This display isbeautiful, easily one of the best you’ll find on a tablet, and unlike theHD 7 it doesn’t suffer from bleeding edges. With crisp text and vibrantcolors the Kinle Fire 8.9 scored big here.

Hardware (9/10)

With a Dual core 1500 MHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor and a gig of RAM, the Kindle Fire HD 8.9is a bit beefier than its smaller brother. I’ve not experienced any noticeable drag while scrollingor slowdown while gaming. There is also a 1.3 megapixel camera for video calls, and a built-in 32GB of storage, which is great. Unfortunately there is no Micro-SD slot.

My Thoughts (Typed Using The Kindle Fire HD 8.9), November 22, 2012

Amazon Verified Purchase (What's this?)

This review is from: Kindle Fire HD 8.9", Dolby Audio, Dual-Band Wi-Fi, 16 GB (Electronics)

Let me start out by saying that I am new to the tablet world and have had no experience using any tablets prior to this purchase.That being said, I spent a great deal of time fishing around through reviews and specs of what seemed like countless tablets formonths. The obvious cliche conclusion led to all fingers pointing at some variation of an iPad, yet for me, I do not see much sense inpurchasing a tablet (regardless of brand) for around the same price as a cheap yet descent laptop that will have more potential.

Enter the Kindle Fire HD.

I will spare you the story on my process of how I ended up choosing a Fire HD and get right to what you all want to know: mythoughts and experience thus far with the product.

Picture: (10/10)I will start with this since obviously that was the first thing i noticed. In a word, incredible. Now its not "eye popping" or anythingout of this world, but i can honestly say it exceeded my expectations and i was (and continue to be) impressed by this piece ofhardware's capabilities. I tested out just a few minutes of TV shows, trailers, videos, and films from Prime Instant Video, Netflix, Hulu

Along the bottom you have the microphone, micro-USB port, and a convenient micro-HDMI port.Along the right edge of the Kindle Fire 8.9 you’ll find the audio jack, power button, and thevolume rocker. Unfortunately, both the power button and volume rocker are flush to the tablet,which made them hard to find. I would have preferred they raised the buttons slightly, but it’s arelatively minor gripe.

I was also pleasantly surprised with the battery life. A full day of moderate use and I still had halfa charge left. Color me impressed.

Software (8/10)

Here the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is much like its smaller brother, being based on Android 4.0, akaIce-cream Sandwich, but so heavily skinned you can’t really tell. You’ll find all the standardAmazon apps here waiting on you. Unfortunately, like its smaller brother, you won’t find Gmail orthe Google Play store, but there is the Amazon store which should provide most of what you’dwant.

The keyboard isn’t all that great either, but that could be the giant hands that come with my 6’4”frame. I found the best way was to utilize the split-style keyboard and just let my thumbs do thework.

Overall (9/10)

The Kindle Fire 8.9 really impressed me. It’s fast, beautiful and long lasting. At $300 it’s morethan affordable; it’s a steal. If you need a tablet for reading, watching videos, playing games ormedia in general, this is the tablet you want.
