It’s really easy to venture outside the Amazon ecosystem to load your own media content if you’re willing to go through the very minimal hassle of sideloading it via USB transfer. What about venturing outside the Amazon ecosystem, however? There, we found things were a mixed bag. The User Experience: Outside the Amazon Ecosystem If you’re debating getting the 7″ or the 8.9″ model, we’d strongly recommend stopping by a brick-and-mortar retailer that carries the units so you can decide if the blue halo is a deal breaker. That said, however, the blue haze on the edge of the smaller 7″ unit was really irritating. Now, we’ll be the first to say that the colors on both the large and small HDX look absolutely beautiful, crisp, and true to life. All displays have some level of light emission around the edges, and the light on the Kindle Fire HDX 7″ is blue due to the technology used to render perfect color accuracy Blue LEDs allow for a much more accurate and rich representation of color and result in an up to 20% improvement in power efficiency.Īs a result of using these blue LEDs, you may notice a very narrow, faint blue tint around the edge of the device when looking at items with a white background, such as books or web pages.
To achieve the perfect color accuracy on Kindle Fire HDX 7″ at the lowest possible battery consumption and device weight, we used blue, not white, LEDs.
#KINDLE FOR MAC REVIEWS UPDATE#
When Amazon released an updated version in 2012, it wasn’t much of an update at all (same slow processor, same lackluster screen, same battery, just a bump from 512MB of memory to 1GB and a refresh of the Android-based Fire OS) reviewers and consumers alike were still quite underwhelmed by the Fire lineup. It was slow, it had a kludgy user interface, and it failed to beat out any other major tablet in the market in any major or minor category. The 2011 release was, to put it bluntly, a complete dog.
The original Kindle Fire was introduced during the holiday season of 2011 it’s important to look at where the Fire lineup was to really appreciate where it is now. The device, just like Amazon’s wildly popular Kindle ebook reader, is intended to serve as a vehicle for Amazon users to enjoy all Amazon has to offer through their book, movie, music, and app stores. The Kindle Fire is Amazon’s foray into the tablet market and designed to be tightly integrated with the entire Amazon media and shopping ecosystem.
