Kindle HD Is Tablet Amazon-Lovers Can Love: Rich Jaroslovsky

I wasn’t a big fan of the original Kindle Fire, the bargain-priced seven-inch color tablet Amazon.com introduced late last year. It was sluggish and cumbersome, redeemed mostly by its easy access to the world of Amazon content.
The new Kindle Fire HD, which arrives Friday, is better across the board. It’s thinner, lighter and faster, adds Bluetooth and a front-facing camera (though still no GPS) and has a much better screen. Plus, it introduces some neat new software tricks.
