Although several new devices were introduced at Bezos’s press conference in Santa Monica, Calif., it was the Kindle Fire HD line that made Amazon’s event. The seven-inch model will cost $199 and will have 16 GB or 32 GB of storage and 3G connectivity as well as the dual-WiFi antennas and speakers. An 8.9-inch version will have many of the same specifications but will come with 16GB, 32GB or 64GB.
