Hands On With The New Amazon Fire Tablets

Here's the full new Amazon Fire family: the HD 7, the HD 6, the new HDX 8.9, and the kids' version of the HD 7.

The new Amazon Fire HDX 8.9" looks just like last year's model, but it has a faster Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor.

The Fire HDX 8.9" adapts its screen color to the surrounding room when you're in the Kindle reading app. From left, you see the new HDX, then a rather bluish iPad Air, then a regular piece of paper.

The new, inexpensive Amazon Fire HD line comes in five colors.

The Amazon Fire HD 6 has a 1,280-by-800 screen and runs Amazon's variant of Android.

The quad-core Mediatek processor in the Fire HD 6 did well on this Epic Citadel benchmark.

The 7-inch model of the Amazon Fire HD is just like the 6-inch model, plus an inch.

The HD 7 comes in the same five colors as the HD 6 does - black, white, blue, magenta, and yellow-green.

The kids' version of the new Fire HD 7 comes with a rubbery bumper and a two-year, no-questions-asked replacement warranty.
