The Price of Amazon’s 4G LTE Kindle Fire Tablet, Compared to New iPad

Amazon unveiled three new versions of its Kindle Fire tablet, with two of the three boasting a bigger screen than the original seven-inch Fire tablet, and one device built with 4G LTE capabilities and 32 gigabytes of onboard storage. Its price point? $499, officially putting it in iPad territory. Except that Amazon, in a Prime-like move, is offering a data plan of 250 megabytes per month through AT&T, with 20GB of cloud storage — for $50 a year. The e-commerce giant was quick to point out how this stacks up against the new iPad.
