Stunning HD Display

Rich, HD video. Beautiful, vivid photos. Crisp, detailed text. Kindle Fire HD features a new 1280x800 high-definition LCD display with over one million pixels that brings your content to life. We've ensured you have a great viewing experience at all angles through an innovative combination of IPS (in-plane switching) technology, an advanced polarising filter and anti-glare technology.

Faster Performance

Kindle Fire HD is over 60% faster than the previous generation Kindle Fire - a fast dual-core processor and an Imagination PowerVR 3D graphics core ensure games and videos run smoothly.

Longer Battery Life

The Kindle Fire HD battery lasts for up to 10 hours of reading, web surfing over Wi-Fi, video watching or music playback.

Streamlined New Design

Kindle Fire HD features a smaller bezel, cleaner lines and optimised button placements. This all-new, streamlined design helps Kindle Fire HD disappear in your hands, so you can lose yourself in your entertainment.

Dolby Digital Plus includes technology that adjusts volume, creates virtual surround sound and delivers easier-to-understand dialogue in films and TV shows. Kindle Fire HD is designed to optimise the audio profile automatically based on what you're doing (with or without headphones), such as watching a film or listening to music.

...And Perfect for Kids

When kids use Kindle FreeTime, it's like they have their very own, personalised tablet. The background colour and fonts change to a kid-friendly design. They only see the titles that they have access to see. The Home screen carousel shows their recently viewed titles. And they can even navigate visually to content based on characters or topics - for example, "Cinderella", "Dinosaurs", or "Puppies".

Put Learning First

NEW - Educational tools help put learning first with Kindle FreeTime. New, more advanced time limits allow parents to set daily educational goals for reading and playing educational games, while blocking entertainment content till the educational goals are met. Parents can also set different time limits for different days of the week, as well as set a new Bedtime so that Kindle Freetime only works during the time of day you choose.

Light and Durable

Weighing just 345 grams, Kindle Fire HD is lighter than ever and comfortable to hold in one hand. It is also designed to stand up to accidental bumps and scrapes. Our state-of-the art display is 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic, so you can let your child play without worry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant product @ a great price 26 Feb 2014
By RosiC
Configuration:With Special Offers| Digital Storage Capacity:8|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a book lover & for many years the thought of even a e-reader was a total no no! For emailing, docs & apps I used my laptop. However I got totally fed up with having to get out the laptop, sign in etc & when going on holiday my luggage & myself were burdened with either too many books or to lfew to see me through the hols. I crumbled & decided a tablet it was. After reviewing the many tablet options available and also taking into account my requirements I opted for the Kindle Fire 7"HD and what a wise choice it was for me. Remember to take into account your own personal requirements & then decide. My kindle arrived programmed with my account details and was ready to go from the moment I switched on, bliss.

I know playstore well via my laptop and for my requirements the Amazon app store more than meets my requirements, I do not feel the need for the thousands of apps that the less than complimentary reviewers complain about. I was able to download the apps I wanted no problem. BBCi player, weather app, brilliant antivirus app etc all were smooth & trouble free installations.

Setting up my various email addresses was also easy & trouble free. Connecting to wifi was easy peasy.

Then there are the books & audio-books- well Amazon is the world leader & with good reason. Fabulous, just fabulous & downloaded in seconds.

For me this Kindle fulfils my needs & more, Amazon make it easy to compare the various Kindles & you can then make your choice. If the table you want is an all singing, all dancing tablet version of your computer/laptop this may well not be the option for you! Do your homework, work out what you want & require before buying, in other words do your research & I am sure that many will like me find this the perfect choice. Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing product for bargain price 28 Nov 2013
By J Hinchy TOP 500 REVIEWER
Configuration:With Special Offers| Digital Storage Capacity:8|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have historically had iPads - first the iPad 2 and then iPad mini. However, the iPad mini was broken by my son who dropped it and the money that Apple were asking to repair it just wasn't affordable so we sold that as for spares and I turned to Kindle.

I ordered in the afternoon and received it the very next morning.

Packaging was not too fussy and the box contained the kindle, usb lead and power adaptor as well as basic instructions.

It switched on immediately and has about 40% battery which enabled me to have a good old play around before having to charge it up.

My immediate impressions were very good - especially as having had iPads, I found myself comparing it to one and it came up really favourable. Display is very crisp and clear. The Kindle is very easy to navigate, I felt again very similar feel to it of that of an iPad. I was able to quickly download some free apps including Facebook, Netflix and eBay. Better still as the Kindle was linked to my Amazon account, any books I have previously purchased for my iPad Kindle app were already loaded onto the Kindle.

It handles nicely - very easy to sit comfortably for a while and read without feeling any strain.
I use it mainly for reading and Netflix and the display and sound on the Kindle is brilliant. Best of all it fits perfectly in my bag!
I generally have to charge the Kindle about every 3 days – seems to hold its battery well even after watching Netflix for a couple of hours.

Having had iPads at £300+ and paying just £129 for the Kindle, I am absolutely delighted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fantastic!!!! 30 Oct 2013
By Laura
Configuration:With Special Offers|Digital Storage Capacity:8
I got this as a birthday present from my parents at the beginning of the month along with a £50 Amazon gift voucher. Now don't get me wrong, I love reading, but as a 14 year old girl, I spend more time on the internet than reading. Before my parents bought me the kindle fire hd, if you had asked me which would you prefer Ipad 3 or Kindle Fire HD, I would have gone with Ipad air since my dad is a big Apple user and I had no previous experiences with Kindles.

But now I have tried it, I would favour the Kindle Fire over the Ipad 3 any day. I love everything about it. It has brilliant sound, I have found myself starting to slowly read a lot more on it, the web pages load quicker than on the Ipad and as for the connection it connects from all rooms in the house which the Ipad fails to do.

I would definitely recommend getting someone a Kindle Fire, even if they don't like reading. It works brilliant for all purposes. I am a very happy Amazon customer once again and am very pleasantly surprised!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great tablet for reading and simple apps 19 Nov 2013
By Mr. B. Park
Configuration:With Special Offers| Digital Storage Capacity:8|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm writing this having owned an iPad, iPad mini, Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite, Galaxy Note 8.0. I work for a software company and use tech constantly, so I hopefully write this from an informed perspective.

I waited to buy a Kindle Fire until a model was released that was 'HD' at the lowest point of entry, and that's what we have here. This is a device that is closely tied into the Amazon way of doing things and therefore requires that books, apps, music etc are all purchased from them. The price of this device is amazingly low given the build quality and connectivity offered. Buy a similarly priced 'normal' Android tablet and your experience will not be as smooth.

Look & Feel

The tablet isn't as light or as thin as an iPad mini, but it feels sturdy and is easy to grip without being too heavy. It makes for comfortable reading on my daily commute, but I imagine would get a bit heavy if holding it to watch a whole film. The device is solid - it doesn't bend, creak or flex at all. All the joins are good and buttons feel reliable.

The display is excellent. The bezel (black strip around the screen) is quite wide, but it does serve as a barrier to stop fingers obscuring text on a book page, which I found really irritating on the iPad. Books are easy to read and turning the screen brightness down from the top setting means I've so far not felt any eye strain. Video also looks great; punchy and rich.

A surprisingly great feature is the sound quality. This really is a nice bonus and compared to other tablets of the same size, speaker quality and audio reproduction is top notch. Not at all tinny; loud and bassy. Really very good indeed.
