Amazon Looks to Win Back Tablet Market Share With Its New, Affordable Fire HD 8
Online retail titan Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) revealed a new, upgraded version of its Fire HD 8 tablet today, complete with a base price of around $90 and a lineup of improved features.

A processor speed boost of 30%, 12 hours of battery life, and expanded storage are the key features Amazon's new tablet offers to make it competitive against other companies' offerings. The $89.99 base model Fire HD 8 includes 32 GB storage plus the lineup's improved battery life and speed. The $109.99 Fire HD 8 Plus is 64 GB, comes with a six-month Kindle Unlimited subscription, and can be charged wirelessly in 4 hours using an upright charging dock.
