Those of you who pre-ordered your 7-inch Kindle Fire HD tablet will be happy to know it is now shipping. It has also shed its pre-order tag and is now available for instant purchase and delivery (well, as instant as Amazon can make it).

Yesterday, Amazon held an event to announce its new line of Kindles. They had some impressive features, decent specs, but best of all — an incredible price. If you don’t feel like reading all about it and would rather watch the video of yesterday’s event, you’re in luck. Amazon has uploaded the full video to YouTube as well as their press site. Don’t feel like switching pages? Then just watch is here after the break. Cheers!

Amazon dropped a few bombs on us today with its new Kindle Fire HD line. Not only will they be following up with another 7-inch model, but they’ve added in a larger 8.9-inch model for good measure.

I may end up an Amazon convert, we’ll have to see.
