The new versions of the Fire 8 tablets were announced by Amazon. There are four new models, the Fire HD 8 at $100, the Fire HD 8 Plus at $120, the Fire HD 8 Kids at $150 and the Fire HD 8 Kids at $150.
The Fire tablets are less expensive than the iPad. Unlike Apple, which relies on hardware for the majority of its revenue, Amazon uses its devices as gateways to its services.
The four tablets will be available for pre-order on Wednesday. The new Fire 8 tablets are lighter and faster than their predecessors.
