Don't you love getting more for less?

To truly optimize the HD entertainment experience, you need a beautiful HD display, incredible audio, and fast Wi-Fi. Kindle Fire HD packages all of these things together.

Kindle Fire HD features 30% more pixels and 33% more pixels-per-inch than iPad mini, which means clearer, sharper images. With Kindle Fire HD, you can watch HD movies and TV—you can’t on iPad mini because it's not an HD device. And because low-quality sound can ruin your HD entertainment experience, Kindle Fire HD features dual stereo speakers and Dolby Digital Plus. Additionally, Kindle Fire HD offers fast Wi-Fi with dual band, dual antennas + MIMO. With all this, Kindle Fire HD is still $130 less than iPad mini. Take a look at the comparison chart below to see how Kindle Fire HD compares to iPad mini.
