What's up with kindle? Review.

What's up with kindle?:
Oh Kindle? They're doing ok.
Amazon's got three main new things for you that affect our leaderboard.

–Kindle Paperwhite: First, the new e-ink reader has a light, and a marginally better screen. Verdict: No brainer on getting this, even before reviews come out. It ships on October 1st and costs $119. We updated our Best E-Ink reader piece to include it, but you can also buy it here.

–Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire: The Kindle Fire is now $159. I think you can safely ignore it. The new contender for best budget tablet is the Kindle Fire HD ($200), which is identical but has a higher resolution screen. You can buy it here. Oddly, the bigger 8.9 inch screened Kindle Fire HD 8.9 (terrible name, I know!) is cheap enough that its worth knowing about if you're looking for a solid cheap tablet that can also do magazine pages well. We'll make our pick for best small tablet once we have more data. For now, we're not absolutely sure its better than the Nexus 7, our current favorite Small Tablet. But we'll know soon enough.

–Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and Kindle Fire 8.9 4G: I apologize on Amazon's behalf for these crazy names. These tablets have slightly smaller and lower res screens than an iPad, and worse software and app choices. Both will be out in mid to late November.They have streaming video and Kindle books for Amazon Prime owners but so do iPad owners, through Amazon apps. (Only Kindles can take advantage of the Prime lending library, though.) Sure, the Fire HD 8.9's claim better audio and Wi-Fi, but who cares. The big deal? They are 40% less than a comparable iPad–that's the killer thing, especially combined with Amazon Prime's advantages. While the 4G model is $500 which is too much to pay for something that is not as good as an iPad, the cheaper $300 Wi-Fi only Fire HD 8.9 is kind of an awesome deal. If it shakes out in reviews. Either way, the iPad is still the best tablet.
