All-new Powerful Processor
Move seamlessly across apps and open titles quickly at a touch. With a new 1.2GHz processor and 1GB of RAM, Kindle Fire is 40% faster and more fluid than before.
Free Cloud Storage
Kindle Fire comes with 8GB on-device storage, so you can download favorite titles to view offline, anytime. You'll also get free, unlimited cloud storage for all your Amazon content, so you can rest easy, knowing that you'll never lose the content you love.
Extra-long Battery Life
Kindle Fire has been re-tuned to optimize power consumption. The result: a longer battery life, with up to 9 hours of reading, surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music.
Easy to Hold in One Hand
Designed to travel with you wherever you go. Small enough to fit in a purse and light enough to hold in just one hand, Kindle Fire is perfect for browsing, playing, reading, and shopping on-the-go.
