“The 8.9” Fire HDX is startlingly light—at just 13.2 ounces, it’s the lightest large-screen tablet. This is combined with a 339 ppi, perfect-color HDX display, 3x the processing power, 2x the memory, 4x the graphics performance, and backed by Fire OS 3.0, with exclusive features like the revolutionary new Mayday button—and all of this is just $379, much less than you’d pay for a comparable tablet,” said Peter Larsen, Vice President, Amazon Kindle. “This is the best tablet we’ve ever built, and we can’t wait to see what our customers think.”
Fire HDX 8.9” has the most advanced display on any tablet—Dr. Raymond Soneira at DisplayMate Technologies says: “Most impressive of all is the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, which has leapfrogged into the best performing Tablet display that we have ever tested, significantly out-performing the iPad Air in Brightness, Screen Reflectance, and high ambient light contrast, plus a first place finish in the very challenging category of Absolute Color Accuracy.”
The reviews are in:
  • “..the HDX 8.9 is light. Absurdly light. Dumb light. It makes the already featherweight one-pound iPad Air feel like it's made out of lead by comparison.” – Gizmodo
  • “Amazon is clearly waging a battle on the display front. The company keeps upping its game, and indeed, the screen here dazzles, with 2,560 x 1,600 resolution and a pixel density of 339 pixels per inch.” – Engadget
  • “The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is a performance monster that speeds through Web sites and UI navigation at a frantic pace. Its screen is impressively sharp and its body amazingly light for a larger tablet. The Mayday feature gives personal and near-instant customer service.” –CNet
  • “For full-sized consumer tablets you’re really going to be choosing between two models (three if you feel adventuresome): the Apple iPad Air and the fully redesigned and quite exquisite Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9.” – Mashable
  • “What’s most striking about the HDX 8.9 is just how light it is. At 13.2 ounces, it’s 34 percent lighter than last year’s model (Amazon shaved off nearly 7 ounces), and a full 20 percent lighter than the iPad Air.” – The Verge
  • “…it [Kindle Fire HDX 8.9”] is emerging as the strongest challenger yet to Apple's device.” – Associated Press
  • “The Fire HDX beat out the new iPad Air in brightness, screen reflectance, and absolute color accuracy – all of which are key to a enjoyable tablet experience.” – Wired
  • This is probably the best screen I own for watching movies.” – TechHive
  • “On the LAPTOP Battery Test – continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi on 40 percent brightness-- the HDX 8.9-inch lasted an epic 13 hours and 42 minutes.” – Laptop
  • “At the end of the day, the Kindle Fire HDX offers the best raw hardware performance.” – CNN Money.
