Amazon's latest addition to the e-reader category is far from ordinary. And it can do much more than serve you a dose of morning news. The
Kindle Fire HD 8.9 tablet has a high performance 1.5Ghz dual-core processor, making it one of the lightest, sharpest, and fastest e-readers on the market. You'll get access to over 22 million movies, TV shows, songs, magazines, books, and apps (from Facebook to Netflix to Angry Birds), so it’s impossible to get bored and ideal for the frequent traveler who doesn’t want to carry a heavier laptop. Plus, it has a 1920 x 1200 HD display with built-in anti-glare technology for richer color and contract, no matter what angle you’re viewing it from. ($299;
