All-New Kindle Family: Hot Holiday Gifts

With the holidays around the corner, Amazon just introduced four brand new Kindles – sure to be some of the hottest gifts of the season. With great new features at amazing prices, the all-new Kindle family will make the perfect gift for anyone on your list.

Whether you’re buying for your friend who loves reading curled up in their favorite chair, or for your loved one who can’t get enough of streaming movies, music, and games, Kindle has something for everyone this year. So, what's new to the family?

  • Kindle Fire ($199): A brand-new, vibrant color tablet that allows you to enjoy movies, TV shows, music, magazines, apps, books, games, and more – or surf the web on the revolutionary new web browser, Amazon Silk. Kindle Fire begins shipping in time for the holidays, so order one now to get your hands on this new, hot item.
  • Kindle Touch 3G ($149): Amazon’s top-of-the-line e-reader with an easy-to-use touchscreen, the same e-ink screen, and free, international 3G wireless. Holding up to 3,000 books with constant access to even more titles in the Kindle Store, it’s perfect for the those on-the-go who keep their nose in the book no matter where they are.
  • Kindle Touch ($99): With the same great features as the Kindle Touch 3G, the Wi-Fi enabled Kindle Touch is the perfect gift for all your friends and family members – especially those who are true bookworms.
  • Kindle ($79): At just $79, the new Kindle is lighter, smaller, and faster than the previous Kindle. It's compact enough to fit in your backpack to your back pocket – and not to mention, it's a great price!
