Sorry, what I meant was that it probably won't be available to purchase here in the UK on that date... at whatever price!
Edit: Their UK website already has the basic 6" model available for pre order at £89 !!! (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0051QVF7A?country=GB) So much for a straight conversion then!
They say it will be released on 12th October.
Other than these aberrations, the Kindle Fire absolutely supplies the spec goods. It uses a 7in 1024x600 pixel IPS display fronted by strong, scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass, is powered by a dual-core Texas Instruments OMAP processor (MHz TBC) and weighs around 410g. That's significantly heavier than the 250g Kindle, but much lighter than the 600g Apple iPad 2.The battery life is rated at eight hours.
So no Kindle Fire in the UK. Will it even work if you import it seen as though the Amazon Prime service primarily runs from the US?
TBH,it could be just launching in the US first.
