Kindle scores well in review

The latest variation of Amazon’s tablet is built on Android OS, but the modifications and additions to the base software make it completely different from its traditional competitors.

Amazon’s new Kindle Fire HDX tablet resembles Google’s Nexus 7 in many ways — from its light weight to its sharp display. Both tablets run a version of Google’s Android operating system, and they even have the same starting price of $229.

The similarities end when you turn them on.
