Amazon today announced that its fastest selling tablet yet, the Fire 7, will soon be available to purchase in China. Amazon discounted the Fire 7 to just $35 during its Black Friday sales, and as a result, it was one of the hottest selling electronics this season.
Amazon China was able to reach a deal with Baidu, a leading internet provider in China, to offer search, apps, and an online video experience for Amazon tablets in China. There's no telling at this point how much actual content Chinese users will have access to, largely because of China's strict Internet laws.
“With millions of readers already using Kindle e-readers in China, we’re excited to now offer another incredibly affordable option, particularly for customers learning to read English. With tools and features like Word Wise and Blue Shade, plus a large selection of Chinese and English content, we think readers will love the new Fire tablet, ” said Neil Lindsay, Vice President of Amazon Devices.
Customers will be able to purchase the Fire 7 from Amazon Chine for CNY$499.
