Everything about Amazon Fire

Line of tablets by Amazon

The Amazon Fire, formerly called the Kindle Fire, is a line of tablet computers developed by Amazon. Built with Quanta Computer, the Kindle Fire was originally released in November of 2011, featuring a color 7-inch multi-touch display with IPS technology and running on Fire OS, an Android-based operating system. The Kindle Fire HD followed in September 2012, and the Kindle Fire HDX in September 2013. In September 2014, when the fourth generation was introduced, the name "Kindle" was dropped. In later generations, the Fire tablet can also convert into a Smart speaker, turning on the "Show Mode" options, where the primary interaction will be via voice commands through Alexa. Amazon furthered Alexa integration with a new line of tablets called Amazon Alexa Tablets, which run Android with modifications to include Alexa+ functionality without the extensive customization used to create Fire OS.
