The next generation of Kindle Fire soon to be available in the UK and Europe is the Kindle Fire HD.

Available in 16GB and 32GB, the Fire is a 7" HD tablet, weighing just 395grams and providing 11 hours of battery life. The Wi-Fi only product claims to download and stream 40% faster than its nearest rival and uses a 1.2 Ghz dual-core processor with Imagination PowerVR 3D graphics core for fast and fluid performance.
