Since the release of the original iPad, Apple has dominated the tablet market.
With Apple’s characteristically sleek styling, attention to user experience, and
marketing savvy, it’s no surprise that the field has been the iPad versus everyone
else. Until now.
Though it’s been the undisputed king of tablets, the iPad is not perfect, and it
inherits some baggage from the increasingly overburdened iTunes application
and Store. Starting from scratch and a fresh perspective with the Fire, Amazon
gets right the very few things Apple gets wrong when it comes to an intuitive
media-consuming tablet. Amazon even one-upped Apple’s minimalist resistance
to physical buttons. You think one Home button on the face of the device
is spartan? How about no buttons! The power button (out of the way, on the
bottom edge) is the only physical button to be found anywhere on the device.
The Fire doesn’t even have a volume rocker, mute switch, or anything (all of
these functions are handled on screen).
Whether your media library lives in your Amazon Cloud Drive or on your
device, the Fire gives you immediate access to all of it, wherever you are, as
long as you know where to find it and how to consume it. With Kindle Fire:
Out of the Box, you’ll jump right in to reading full-color magazines, newspapers,
newly enhanced ebooks, and your own personal documents. Quickly
download music from your Amazon Cloud Drive or new music from the Amazon
MP3 store to listen offline, and get instant, unlimited access to streaming
of over 10,000 popular movies and TV shows. And go beyond your own media
to experience integrated email, games, Android apps from the Amazon App
Store, and ultra-fast web browsing with the revolutionary, cloud-accelerated
Silk browser.
This intuitive, easy-to-follow ebook opens the world of possibilities made
possible by the Kindle Fire, right out of the box. |
