Plus a new Fire HD 8 Plus, Kids, and Kids Pro.
Amazon is announcing a quartet of new 8-inch Fire tablets today led by the Fire HD 8, which the company claims is 30 percent faster. Its starting price is also $10 more expensive at $99.99 this time around. Alongside the Fire HD 8, the ecommerce giant is also announcing new Fire HD 8 Plus, Fire HD 8 Kids, and Fire HD 8 Kids Pro tablets. They’re all available for preorder today for $10 more than before and will ship next month.

Finally there are the kids versions, the Fire HD 8 Kids and Fire HD 8 Kids Pro. Both start at $149.99, but are aimed at different age groups; 3-7 year olds for the regular Kids, and 6-12 year olds for the Kids Pro. Both include a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids Plus, which offers ad-free access to games, videos, books, and educational content, as well as an included kid-friendly case and two-year guarantee.
