It should come as no surprise that Amazon is looking to update it range of tablets and replace them with 3 new ones, all of which will be low cost but feature improved processor and screens, along with 3 different screen sizes.

The Kindle Fire tablet range is the single biggest competitor to the iPad, simply because the Kindle and Amazon are such a strong brand. Also, Amazon is able to offer a superb media catalogue, so it will be interesting to see what other features will be on offer when these get finally announced.

My other hope is that the launch is global, and that the UK doesn’t have to wait several months after the US launch to receive these new items.

Have you or would you buy a Kindle Fire tablet instead of an iPad?
