| Bottom line | With a beautiful screen, refined interface, and huge coffer of media consumption options, the Amazon
Kindle Fire HD is the Kindle Fire as it should have been. | If you're looking for a pure media consumption experience, the
Kindle Fire HD 8.9 delivers better than any tablet before it. People looking for something more utilitarian, however, will want to look elsewhere. |
