the kindle fire HDX 8.9 takes what may be 7-inch HDX great adds a larger higher resolution screen this one is 2560 by 1600 and at 0.8 2 pounds it's the lightest quote-unquote large tablet on the market I say quote because while an 8.9 inch tablet is definitely not small it is almost an inch smaller than the ipad air and more than an inch smaller than 10.1 inch tablets like the Asus Transformer tf700 one and it's not just a screen it's the body to the tablet is noticeably smaller than you 2012 fire HD 8.9 and thinner too unfortunately the power button and volume rocker are still located on the back and while it's fine when you're already holding the tablet in your hand if the tablets lying down its back and you want to say turn the volume down it takes a couple of annoying steps to do so there's a microUSB on the left edge for charging and a headphone jack on the right on the top bezel sits an HD front-facing camera down the back and 8 megapixel back facing camera with LED flash gaming performance is fast smooth and at the tablets high screen resolution incredibly sharp of course the real appeal of any kindle fire tablet lies within amazon's impressive media ecosystem if you're having trouble with any aspect of your kindle fire HDX there's always made a which is near instant personal live video support and made a rep can't see you luckily for them but you can see them and they can answer pretty much any question you may have about the fire they can also take control of your tablet as well as draw on your screen to point you in the right direction check out the first look at the kindle fire HDX 7 for more info on what makes the Amazon interface and ecosystem so effective the kindle fire HDX 8.9 starts at three hundred and seventy nine dollars for 16 gigabytes of storage and the price increases by fifty bucks at both 32 gigabytes and 64 gigabytes you'll also have to pay an extra fifteen dollars you want to get rid of the ads on the lock screen the 7 inch version of the fire HDX is great but if you're looking for something that's a little larger with a sharper screen that still maintains a lightweight same great fast performance the HDX 8.9 is an excellent choice i'm eric franklin and this has been a first look at the kindle fire HDX 8.9
