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.

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!
