Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and chief executive launched a new, larger version of its Kindle Fire tablet which comes with a high-definition display.
The new Kindle Fire HD will be available in the standard size but also with a 8.9-inch (22.6 centimeter) display, he told reporters at a press conference in Santa Monica, California.
"Our large-display tablet is only 8.8 millimeters (thick), and weighs 20 ounces (560 grams)," he said, unveiling the larger device after also unveiling a new back-lit version of the online retailer's ground-breaking Kindle reader.
The Kindle Fire HD tablet comes with a dual-band Wi-Fi as well as two antennas, he said about the new product which will likely compete with the iPad and Google Nexus 7 tablets.
The Amazon founder said the upgraded Wi-Fi specifications and better processing would enable it to become 41 percent faster than the iPad, which was launched earlier.
The Kindle Fire announcements have been made in the market after the launch of the new basic Kindle reader which comes with a "paperwhite" display. It has a battery life of eight weeks with the backlight on.
The price of the new Kindle reader will be at $119, while the 3G mobile version will be priced at $179.
