Amazon has created a new tablet, the Kindle Fire, that they feel will be able to compete and possibly overtake Apple’s Ipad. The Kindle Fire has many of the same features as the Ipad, including eBooks, games, and the ability to surf the web; the Kindle Fire is completely touch screen. Although the tablets contain many similarities, the biggest and most important difference is the price. The Ipad sells for an average of $499. The Kindle Fire will be selling for $199. These are the features that make its creators and the entire Amazon Company confident that it will surpass the Ipad.
