Kindle Fire Review
The Kindle Fire is the first tablet from well-known e-commerce giant, Amazon. It is an extension of its e-reader product, the Kindle, and is designed to compete with other well known tablets, such as the iPad. Amazon has been around since 1994, is the world’s largest online shopping platform and prides itself on providing fast and affordable shipping, and stellar customer service.
With an Amazon Prime membership at $79/year, you can access thousands of movies and TV shows streamed to your Kindle Fire, or your TV (if you have a compatible device such as a gaming console or Blu-ray player) for free, as part of your membership. In addition, you’ll get access to the Kindle owner’s lending library, where you can borrow books for free once a month. A prime membership also gets you free two day shipping on all eligible items with no minimum, and $3.99 per item overnight shipping on eligible items.
