Amazon Fire HD 8 Reader's Edition now up for pre-order

Himanshu, 08 December, 2015

Over a couple of months after launching the Fire HD 8, Amazon has introduced a Reader's Edition of the tablet. Priced at $249.99, it comes with a year of Kindle Unlimited subscription as well as a limited edition, rustic brown leather cover.

Aimed at reading fans, the tablet also includes a Blue Shade feature that the company claims adjusts and optimizes the device's display to reduce blue light exposure, allowing you to read comfortably at night.

"Fire HD 8 Reader’s Edition simply delivers the best reading experience on any tablet," said Charlie Tritschler, Vice President, Amazon Devices. "With an incredibly thin and light design and 8” HD color display, this is the perfect tablet for reading—a year of Kindle Unlimited with access to over a million books, plus innovative new features like Blue Shade—now even more readers can curl up in bed with their favorite stories."

The tablet is now available to pre-order on Amazon.
