The e-reader market and maybe even the tablet market was rocked today by Amazon's release of 4 brand new kindles.

Amazon is a promoting machine very similar to Apple and with its Kindle user base in addition to a sticker price near $200, this tablet could finally be competitive in the tablet market against the iPad.
The kindle is not a high end tablet though given that its hardware is much lower The device has a two-core processor, yet doesn't possess either a microphone or digital camera to take photos and video. Storage is restricted to a compact 8GB harddrive. It looks to be competitive primarily with many other 7 " devices such as the Nook Color than the iPad. The tablet is lightweight weighing just 14.6 ounces. It also sports a very colorful 7 inch display. Yet Amazon was touting the cloud service that it has very similar to Apple. Also that its device could possibly stream music and videos from its services too.
The cloud service is equally as important to the device mainly because it means that movies, books and music can be stored on-line instead of on the 8GB of hard drive space. The on line service means that users can pause a movie after which restart it on another device where it was paused.

Competition is just beginning as the Barnes and Nobles Nook Color 2 is merely on the horizon. Barnes and Nobles is now able to use the Kindles' unveiling in their approach using the new nook. It will probably be about several weeks before they declare anything concerning their device. Many critics acknowledge that the new Nook will be faster having an update to the CPU and that the screen will be more attactive. There will more apps and the CPU power of the Nook will be much faster.
