 Hey guys, it's David with The Verge. So Amazon announced a bunch of things today, but one of the things they made the biggest deal about is the new 8.9 inch Kindle Fire HD. It's an 8.9 inch tablet and unfortunately there are only like three of them around right now. They're still in limited production, they won't be out until November. But we got to take a look at them with one of the VPs of the Kindle. So the biggest new feature of the Kindle Fire HD and the one that really separates the 8.9 inch from the 7 inch is the 1920 by 1200 display. The display looks fantastic, it has really deep blacks and really nice colors, really good viewing angles, it's just a really great display. It's a 16 by 10 aspect ratio, so it's a little wider when you hold it in portrait, which is a nice touch for us. There's also a bunch of new hardware inside. There's a TI OMAP 4470 processor, which means the Fire HD 8.9 inch just runs faster and more smoothly than ever before. There's also a lot of new software in the device. Whisper sync and X-Ray were two of the things they talked a lot about. There's X-Ray for movies now, which is pretty cool. You can just pause a movie and it'll show you the characters in that movie and then you can scroll through and see other things they've been in or add other movies to your watch list or just find out information about them. There's also a new immersive reading feature, which is one of the coolest things we've seen. It lets you sync an audio book to text and you can read or listen and just really easily switch back and forth. There's also a new favorites menu on the screen. It's a pretty minor change, but it helps. You can press a star in the bottom right corner and it brings up a bunch of apps or books or websites that you might want to read. There's also new audio with Dolby Digital Plus, which should be really good. The 8.9 inch Kindle Fire is going to be out at the end of November. It's going to start at $299 for 16 gigs of storage or you can get 32 gigs for $369. There's also an option to get Amazon's LTE package, which is provided by AT&T for $499 or $599 respectively.
