Amazon just lowered the price of its Kindle Fire 7-inch HD from 199 to 169 euros. Simple promotion to boost sales, or early signs of renewal in the coming weeks and an urgent need to liquidate stocks
Amazon just changed the prices of its Kindle Fire tablet 7 inch HD. In fact, when they were offered for 199 euros and 249 euros in their versions of 16 and 32 GB with “special offers” or 214 and 264 euros without, they are now available from 169 euros.
price drop to sell stocks
behind this price drop, which is not only valid in France, but also in the United States, where the Kindle Fire HD is displayed starting at $ 169, the retail giant will certainly fit in part to market conditions. If we look for example at Fnac Kobo Arc, which is typically the product best suited to the Amazon product is currently sold under the bar at 150 euros for the version of 16 GB or 32 GB therefore The price drop is, it seems, relatively welcome …
But this change in rates may especially be the beginning of the end for this generation of Kindle Fire. Indeed, to launch its new models just after the start of classes for the American retailer has used, as was the case last year, although the availability for France was much later (October).
What to expect from the next generation
next generation Kindle Fire HD should be an opportunity for Amazon to change dairy regarding the supplier of SoC. The manufacturer has also not really have a choice as Texas Instrument threw in the towel for dedicated chips for consumer products such as tablets and smartphones.
NVIDIA or Qualcomm would most certainly happy to provide one of the main suppliers of slate in the world. If the first seems to have missed the boat this time with its Tegra 4, the second is itself currently very present and gossip show that will host the Nexus HD 7.2 or Google. If the Kindle Fire is also on his own … it will become inevitable, but this choice would be anything but illogical.
next week so may be particularly hot in ads. Because if Google and Amazon renew their models, we remember that this is Kobo, which was the quickest to respond to web giant last year. Therefore remains to be seen which of the three will open hostilities.
