This week was filled with a smattering of mobile and tablet news, as major hardware providers scramble to keep their products in the limelight in anticipation of Apple's September 12 event. Today, Amazon's Jeff Bezos took the stage to announce not one, but seven total upgrades or new products in the company's already successful Kindle family. 

OK, so maybe it doesn't have all the bells of its Fire cousin, but the traditional e-reader Kindle is no slouch. Last year, Amazon introduced a super-affordable $79 version to the delight of book lovers everywhere. The new Kindle is just $69, and receives some minor improvements like new fonts, crisper text, and speedier page turns. The new Kindle ships on September 14.

So, it turns out the rumors are true: Amazon's new e-reader will brighten up the device's screen, thanks to a new, patented "light guide." While reading books on a bright LCD screen can sometimes  lead to eye strain, the Kindle Paperwhite front-lit system seems to put off a more subtle, ambient glow. The Paperwhite model gets eight weeks of battery life, 62-percent more pixels (212ppi), and a capacitive touch screen. Both the wi-fi ($119) and 3G ($179) models will ship October 1.

Bezos made a point during today's event to mention the Kindle Fire tablet as Amazon's number-one selling item. So, it's no surprise the company is challenging the tablet market full-bore. The Kindle Fire will feature 40-percent faster performance with a new processor, twice the amount of RAM, and also includes a longer-lasting battery. The standard Fire model ships on September 14 for $159.

But there's even more additions to the Fire line-up. Amazon made it abundantly clear it plans to take on competitor Apple with higher-end tablets. The new Kindle Fire HD comes in two screen-size varieties: 7-inch and 8.9-inch. Both models feature hi-res (1920X1200) displays, a laminated touch sensor for less glare, and a Texas Instruments OMAP 4470 processor. 

Bezos claims dual-band wi-fi antennas and MIMO functionality mean Kindle Fire HD runs 41-percent faster than the new iPad. The Fire HD also features two Dolby Digital speakers, and HDMI out. The 7-inch model ships September 14 for $199. The 8.9-inch model ships November 20 for $299.

Last, but certainly not least, Amazon also announced the Kindle Fire HD with 4G LTE -- now that's a long name. Amazon is framing its highest-end tablet as a direct competitor to the new iPad. The device features 32GB of storage, and the super-affordable Amazon 4G LTE Package. Priced at $49.99/year, the package includes 250MB/month of data, 20GB of Amazon Cloud storage, and a $10 Amazon Appstore credit. Kindle Fire HD 4G ships for $499 on November 20.

One of the more interesting tidbits during the Amazon event was Whispersync for Games. Kindle will now sync your scores, saves, etc. across its devices; no need to start your games all over when switching to a new device. 

Another Whispersync -- for voice -- will sync audiobooks with printed books. Essentially, the Kindle reads to you as you're reading the words. Kind of weird, but it sounds interesting. 

A huge show for Amazon, and the price of that long-winded Kindle Fire HD with 4G looks awfully tempting. What do you think?

Amazon’s latest entry into the eBook reader market is a step up from the e-ink devices that traditionally bear the name “Kindle”. The Kindle Fire is a 7 inch tablet running a customized version of Android 2.3 Gingerbread and enables users to access the Kindle store, download media provided by Amazon Prime and surf the web, check emails and download apps, much as you would with any other Android slate.

If you’re familiar with the Android system then setting up your Kindle Fire should be pretty straightforward. However if this is all new to you or you have received a Kindle Fire as a gift and it has the sender’s Amazon details (the company adds these details when they dispatch their eBook reader devices) then you’ll need to know how to get started with this great tablet device.

Connecting To Wireless Networks

When you first switch on a new Amazon Kindle Fire, the device will attempt to get you connected to a local wireless network. This is to enable you to connect to your Amazon account and start using the Kindle store.

Any wireless networks in the vicinity will be displayed, so all you will need to do is tap the preferred hotspot and add the password or key string. You can use the Show password box to check what you’re entering is correct, useful for those complicated encrypted strings. Click Connect when you’re done.

Adding Your Amazon Account

You will then be prompted to enter your Amazon password, just below where your username is displayed. If the Kindle was bought by a friend or relative as a gift you will find that the device is registered to them, so you will need to deregister the device before you can add your own credentials.

As there is no cancel button you will need to tap the Settings icon in the top-right corner. From here, tap More… > My Account > Deregister and wait while the device clears the previous account.

A few moments later you will be able to add your own Amazon account and password. If you don’t already have these you can sign up online in just a few moments.

Syncing Your Kindle Library

With your Kindle Fire connected to the Internet and your Amazon account added to the device, you’re ready to start buying books to download to your device (although note that thousands of out-of-copyright classic titles are also available for free such as Project Gutenberg).

On the main screen on your Kindle (accessed via the Home button in the lower-left corner) you will see a largely empty set of shelves waiting to be filled with regularly-accessed apps and of course books that you’re reading. If you already have an Amazon account and have purchased Kindle titles previously, tap the Settings icon and then Sync to prompt the WhisperSync software to download your books to the device.

If you are yet to buy a book, simply hit the Amazon icon to gain instant access to the store and start browsing!

Configuring The Kindle Fire For Multimedia & The Internet

Your e-reader tablet is capable of so much more than reading books. With a Kindle Prime account you can download videos and music to the Kindle Fire, while a browser, email client and access to the Amazon app store are all available.

However unlike the original Kindle devices, the Kindle Fire doesn’t use the eye-friendly e-ink display. As a result there is a greater chance of eye strain when reading books on the LCD display. Fortunately there is a brightness control available via Settings > Display.

Similarly you may wish to alter the volume; this is something you can do via Settings > Volume. Extended options for both settings are available via Settings > More…

With your Kindle Fire now set up you will be ready to start downloading books, apps and games and checking your email.

Let us know if you managed to get everything working or not.  If you have just got a Kindle Fire for the first time, what do you think about it?  Love it or hate it?
