Heads up, Geek readers! Amazon’s homepage exploded this morning, showering the Internet with new hardware. They’ve got four new tablets and three new members of the Fire TV family. First up is the Fire. No Kindle, mind you… just Fire. It’s the dirt-cheap tablet we saw leaked a few days ago, and Amazon says it “sets a new standard for a tablet under $50.” By under $50, they mean $49.99. It features a quad-core 1.3GHz processor, a 1024 x 600 display, front and rear-facing cameras, and 8GB of internal storage. Amazon has also thoughtfully included a micro SD slot for expansion. Amazon also introduced two new Fire HD tablets, Fire Kids Edition, and new Fire TV devices.
Amazon unveiled an updated version of its wireless e-reader that boasts a new design, updated display and more storage among other features.
The tablet-like Voyage is an impressive eReader with some great features. However, it's also almost three times as expensive as the £59 Kindle. Find out if it's worth it in our Kindle Voyage review.
E-readers like Kindles only use power when the content of the screen changes. Because of that, Kindles have a long battery life. That means you probably need to charge it every few days or weeks rather than once a day. Still, Business Insider reports there are a number of ways to save the battery life on your Kindle--especially if it's aging and the battery is wearing out. Keep your reading light as low as possible, and put your Kindle to sleep when you're not using it. Next, don't have it connected to the internet when you don't need it. Switch it to airplane mode in the Settings menu. Finally, when downloading books, charge both during the download and a little bit after, while the Kindle updates. That will save lots of juice!
