Today was release day in Canada for Amazon’s latest tablet, the Kindle HDX and mine was delivered as anticipated. As always with Amazon, the setup was very easy. Find and enter my WiFi details and the device recognised me. It is a lovely device to look at – it is a little more compact than the original Kindle Fire HD which I have. The HD screen is gorgeous. It has a warmer tone than my the original and text is very crisp and clear. One thing I noticed which really made me happy is that the earphone jack now is fully compatible with my Apple EarPods so that I can start and stop my audiobooks/immersion reading with those. The placement of the volume and on/off buttons are different and that did take a bit of finding. I’m sure I’ll adjust quickly though. I added the origami cover (in purple for those who are interested.) While it’s cool looking, I discovered that unless you fold it up even when you’re holding it in your hand, the buttons are all but inaccessible. I will say that the Fire 3.1 OS did take a little getting used to coming from the original Fire….
