online bookshop Amazon has long been a major player in the industry for content. Books, videos, movies and music are just in the home market, the U.S. soil so that the corresponding devices can be sold including the costs of development, marketing and logistics from online giants even at a loss. This happened with the Kindle Fire 7-inch diagonal HD. Content is earned on in this direction also the bigger brother moved with 8.9 inch HD display. For 270 euros we get a bright and high-contrast display, a sturdy plastic case with matte soft coating and direct access to Amazon’s media world.
With 570 grams of weight, the Amazon Kindle Fire HD is 8.9 lighter than the Apple iPhone 4 ( 650g), but also smaller in size. With the iPad mini (310g) in mind, the Kindle has even very difficult – a two hours blockbusters are probably only by bodybuilders. Users is less powerful against the grippy soft-touch coating. Generally, it must be noted that so-called “heavy users” their books, movies or other media should prefer to consume on devices with 300 grams of weight. The 9 inch size makes typing with both thumbs on the virtual keyboard is also very difficult. The processing of the Fire HD 8.9 is very neat, the tablet is stiff and the material transitions present small clearances. The 8.9 inch display enjoys the protection of Gorilla Glass 2 from Corning to contamination, however, the highly reflective surface is just like the matte black back not immune.

Unfortunately, a conventional USB port can charge the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 in idle mode only. A suitable cable supplies with Amazon, we look in vain for a power adapter supplied. On housing, we find a headphone port and a microHDMI output. The latter brings about the Amazon online offer “LOVEFiLM” streamed HD movies without quality loss on a bigger screen. Although it is a full HD signal, the stream can this high resolution, but only scale. Nevertheless, the quality of films and series in the advertised “HD” very good. Only their offer at Lovefilm is not yet as extensive as that of the competitors max cathedrals. The wireless communication is the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 Wi-Fi a / b / g / n and Bluetooth 3.0. In the U.S., a 4G/LTE version is now sold until the support for mobile broadband internet on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is also available in Germany, but it can take a while. The 0.3 megapixel camera allows video chats with sufficient quality for holiday photos but you should take a separate apparatus. Accordingly, the recording function is also hidden in the gallery.

There used applications are automatically positioned. If you hold the i con, the apps can be removed. The most important apps for Facebook, Skype and Twitter are also available in the Amazon App Store, but the Google Play Store offer one comes only with proper effort. Amazon has the surface and access to media goods or heavily tailored to their range.

Somewhere had to save even Amazon for the purchase price of 269 Euros by advertising in lockscreen. That is why the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is also not equipped with the fastest processor available but “only” with a dual-core OMAP 4470 from Texas Instruments with 1.5 GHz and 1 GB RAM. As a graphic unit is a PowerVR SGX544. The hardware handles the most modern tablet games, creating the full-HD video playback.
