    A novel addition to the Kindle Fire HD is the addition of the Whispersync technology. This saves progress of games and audiobooks on the cloud. It goes without saying that the ICS backend will well make social networking and emailing a lot better than in the predecessor variant. At $299 for the 16GB version and $369 for the 32GB version, the Kindle Fire HD is pretty competitively priced. The top-of-the-line LTE version with 64GB storage will cost $599. Additional services by AT&T offer $50 per year plans with a monthly data cap of 250MB. So much for overkill.
