All-new Amazon Fire and Kindle Tablets Available to Pre-order

Amazon has recently announced brand new versions of the Fire HD 10 and Fire HD 10 Kids Edition, alongside a new and dedicated kids edition of the Kindle e-reader. Pre-orders for the devices have gone live, with each device shipped from October 30, 2019.

The all-new Fire HD 10 comes in Twilight Blue, Plum, Black and all-new White, and will cost £149.99. The all-new Fire HD 10 is for entertainment purposes, while the new kids editions are aimed at providing safe and care free fun for the little ones.

All-new Fire HD 10 — £149.99

Amazon's new Fire HD 10 still rocks a 1080p LCD screen, but has also a bunch of new upgrades under the hood. This includes a new processor that makes it 30 percent faster. This is also the very first Amazon product to come equipped with a USB-C port.

The Kids edition is basically the same tablet, just with a few extras. The tablet includes a pop blue or pink kid-proof case, now with a kick-stand. There’s also plenty of parental controls, a two-year worry-free guarantee, and one year of Fire for Kids Unlimited with apps, games, and videos. The tablet will retain its price of £199.99.

The Kindle Kids Edition also includes a year of Fire for Kids Unlimited, equipped with thousands of popular titles and series, including Harry Potter, Geek Girl, and more.

If you’re interested in picking up any of these devices, you can pre-order right now and have them shipped in time for the release day on October 30.

With Black Friday and Cyber Monday right around the corner as well, we could very well see these new devices hit with big discounts. Stick around PCMag to find out more.

My Experience

I’ve been freelancing as a tech journalist for several years now, after long wanting to write about my passion for video games. I have bylines on Kotaku and other sites, but PCMag is where you can find most of my musings on gaming, its culture, and where the industry is going next. I also test online services for both businesses and individuals. If you’re interested in hearing me talk about entertainment, film, and TV, you can check out my Patreon and Substack, both under the name “Robby Knows.”

The Technology I Use

Most of the tech I use every day is within the Apple ecosystem. Currently, I rely on a 2025 MacBook Air for computing and dabble in art projects on my 6th-generation iPad Mini. I don't go anywhere without my AirPods Pro 2 in my pocket.

As an avid gamer, you better believe that I always have a controller in my hands if I’m not watching movies or TV. I use my PS5 and Switch 2 equally, depending on what’s the hot new release, and am always trying to find interesting ways to tinker with my Steam Deck.

Given the current state of social media and technology, I find myself going more analog to escape the noise. I have a modest collection of watches, both automatic and digital, to free myself from the pings and notifications of the modern world. I also put my phone in a ySky lockbox for 12 hours every night to reduce my screen time. I spent a lot of the past year trying to read good books rather than scroll through feeds.
