oh hey guys it's david at the verged so amazon announced a bunch of things today but one of the things they made the biggest deal about is the new 8.9 inch Kindle Fire HD it's an 8.9 inch tablet and unfortunately they're only like three of them around right now they're still in limited production they won't be out till November but we got to take a look at them with one of the VPS of the Kindle so the biggest new feature of the kindle fire HD and the one that really separates the 8.9 inch from the 7-inch is the 1920 x 1200 display display looks fantastic it's really has really deep blacks and really nice colors really good viewing angles it's just a really great display it's a 16 x 10 aspect ratio so it's a little wider when you hold it in portrait which is a nice touch for us there's also a bunch of new hardware inside there's a TI omap 4470 processor which means the fire HD 8.9 inch just runs faster and more smoothly than ever before there's also a lot of new software in the device whispersync and x-ray were two of the things they talked a lot about there's x-ray for movies now which is pretty cool you can just pause the movie and it'll show you the characters in that movie and then you can scroll through and see other things they've been in or add other movies to your watch list or just find out information about them there's also a new immersive reading feature which is one of the coolest things we've seen it lets you sync an audio book to text and you can read or listen and just really easily switch back and forth there's also a new favorites menu on the screen it's this is a pretty minor change but it helps you can press a star in the bottom right corner and it brings up a bunch of apps or books or websites that you might want to read there's also new audio with Dolby Digital Plus which should be really good the 8.9 inch Kindle Fire is going to be out at the end of november it's going to start at two hundred ninety nine dollars for 16 gigs of storage or you can get 32 gigs for 369 dollars there's also an option to get amazon's LTE package which is provided by AT&T for 499 or five hundred ninety nine dollars respective you
