Kindle Voyage and Fire HDX 8.9 - now shipping in the UK

Amazon has announced that the new Kindle Voyage, the most advanced Kindle ever, and the Fire HDX 8.9, Amazon’s most powerful tablet ever, have started shipping to customers in the UK. The two new devices form part of Amazon’s biggest ever device range, which offers incredible choice for customers who want to read, create, play games, or enjoy the latest TV shows and movies—whether at home or on the move.

“Kindle Voyage and Fire HDX 8.9 are leading edge devices that our customers are going to love,” said Jorrit Van der Meulen, VP Amazon Devices, EU. “Kindle Voyage is our best Kindle yet, providing an unmatched reading experience that helps you truly lose yourself in a story. With Fire HDX, our team has packed an incredible amount of technology into a startlingly light design, combining an incredible display with faster graphics and powerful audio to provide performance that’s up there with the very best. We think both these devices are going to be very popular with our customers this Christmas.”

Kindle Voyage is available from £169 at amazon.co.uk/kindle-voyage, and customers can also add the newly designed origami-style case. The new case is inspired by the best-selling Origami case for Fire tablets, and provides a stand for both portrait and landscape positions. Origami cases attach magnetically so they are easy to take on and off, and automatically turn your Kindle Voyage on and off when you open and close the case. The case is available starting at £39.99.

Fire HDX 8.9 is available from £329, and customers can order from amazon.co.uk/hdx. A new Origami case, also available today for £49.99, is 20% lighter than the previous generation and attaches magnetically so it’s easy to take on and off. Customers can also get the new Fire Keyboard—a slim, light and fully featured keyboard, complete with trackpad, which connects via Bluetooth and attaches to the Origami case magnetically. Fire Keyboard is available for £54.99.
