If you’ve been umming and ahhing over Whether to buy the Kindle Fire tablet, Amazon this latest sale Could sway you. Until March 4, the retailer is slashing the price of all its tablets by 20 per cent. It does these kinds of sales quite often, but this is the biggest price cut yet.

Prime has gone up, Which Amazon is less keen to publicize. It’s now ? 79 for a year instead of 49 ? – that price includes the cost of Prime Instant Video. There’s no way to opt out of Amazon’s new movies and TV service. I’ve seen a few people on Twitter saying they’re quitting Prime because of the new high price.

The sale price of the Kindle Fire makes it ? HDX 40 cheaper than Google’s Nexus 7, but the the saying goes, look before you leap. The HDX is a nice piece of kit, but its software is sadly hobbled here in the UK, giving you far fewer features than the competition.
