Amazon announced their latest Kindle Fire tablets, the Kindle Fire HDX, earlier this fall as two separate devices running on either a 7-inch display or a slightly larger 8.9-inch display. One of the main selling points of the Kindle Fire HDX is its exclusive HDX display, which offers a 323PPI on the 7-inch model and 339PPI on the 8.9-inch model. 

As you probably could tell, we’ll be taking a look at the 8.9-inch version of the Kindle Fire HDX in our review, which has many of the same internal specs as its smaller 7-inch sibling does. It features a 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, Android 4.2.2 running Amazon’s Fire OS 3.0 UI, an 8MP main camera, a 720p HD front-facing camera, 16GB of internal storage and is said to last for up to 12 hours of reading, web browsing and watching online video. 

Amazon has produced some impressive tablets in the past, so let’s just see how good the latest Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 compares to previously released tablets in the Kindle Fire series.

Tablets tend to be perceived as a piece of tech that you can’t create much media with, so I tend to just intake media as I watch YouTube videos, browse various websites like Reddit and keep up with what my friends are doing on various social media services like Twitter and Facebook.

I also keep up with my emails on tablets as being able to sit back and correspond with friends and family from the comfort of a tablet is something I really enjoy. The Amazon Kindle has always been a tablet geared towards people who enjoy reading more than anything else, and although I’m not a traditional reader in the sense that I don’t often read books.
