Amazon is making sure that you will enjoy (the first few months of) your affordable Kindle Fire.
Online retail giant is adding yet another “free something” to attract more customers to buy its new device, the Kindle Fire.
Aside from the free one month Amazon Prime subscription if you haven’t used it over the past year, Amazon has decided to offer a 3-month free magazine “Newsstand” subscription, so new customers who bought the tweaked Android-powered Kindle Fire will have temporary free access to magazines published by Condé Nast which includes popular magazines like Vanity Fair, GQ and Wired.
The free Condé Nast Magazine promo will run until March 1, while other publications will be capped at 14-day free trial.
The Kindle Fire release date is on 15th of November in United States only, and Amazon is already acception pre-orders.
The new tablet has attracted the attention of many due to its surprisingly cheap tag price of $199, but apparently, the strategy is to get more Kindle Fire buyers with credit cards and Amazon will enjoy a “chain reaction” resulting to an ecosystem with buyers locked with Amazon’s ecosystem only.
The new Amazon Kindle Fire is powered by TI OMAP dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM, doesn’t support video recording or photos due to lack of camera/s, features a 7-inch screen and the tablet is powered by a tweaked Android Gingerbread operating system featuring Amazon’s own app, magazine, movies and other markets, and of course, the company’s Silk browser.
The Amazon Kindle Fire will compete against Apple’s expensive iPad, and Barnes&Noble’s new Nook Tablet (or the so-called Nook Color 2) which is also an Android-based device (tweaked too) but priced at $249 which is $50 more expensive than Amazon’s device.
According to B&N’s press release, the Nook Tablet is powered by 1GHz dual-core TI OMAP CPU, 1GB of RAM and offers additional storage via MicroSD card slot, a feature not offered by Amazon’s new Kindle tablet PC.
