The Kindle Fire is a tablet computer version of Amazon.com's Kindle e-book reader. Announced on 28 September 2011, the Kindle Fire has a color 7" multi-touch display with IPS technology and runs a forked version of Google's Android operating system. The device—which includes access to the Amazon Appstore, streaming movies and TV shows, and Kindle's e-books—was released on November 15, 2011.
The Kindle Fire retails for US$199.[8] Estimates of the device's initial bill of materials ranged from $150 to $190,[9] with one analyst estimating a total production cost of $201.70.[10] Analysts have projected the device to be a strong competitor to Apple's iPad,[8][11] and that other Android device makers will suffer lost sales.[12][13] Amazon's business strategy is to make money on the selling of digital content on the Fire, rather than through the device itself.[14][15][16]
The Kindle Fire's external dimensions are 7.5×4.7×0.45 inch (190×120×11 mm),[17] with the visible area of the screen a little smaller than a standard 4×6" photograph.
Customers began receiving their Kindle Fires on November 15, 2011, and in the following December, customers purchased over 1 million Kindle devices per week.[18] Analysts had estimated that over 6 million Amazon Kindle Fire tablets would be sold in the fourth quarter of 2011
