The complete modern generation of Amazon tablets and e-readers have begun shipping today to customers who have placed pre-orders. This includes the Kindle Voyage, Kindle Fire HD 6 and HD 7, Kids Tablet and the HDX 8.9. Amazon originally announced their complete modern lineup of devices on September 17th and actually never orchestrated a media event for it, which was a stark departure from previous product releases. The Kindle Basic Touch was the only e-reader that Amazon actually shipped out a few weeks ago and has been getting fairly solid reviews. We did a bunch of comparisons against the 2013 Basic edition and also the Paperwhite 2, and it actually is a viable investment if you have an older Kindle and want to upgrade. Spec wise, there is not a compelling reason to buy the HD6 and HD7 if you have the Fire tablets that came out last year. The resolution on the HD7 is a paltry 1280 x 800, whereas the model that came out last year was 1920×1200. The only modern device Good e-Reader recommends is the Voyage and Basic Touch, there is a solid reason to upgrade to both of these if you have older e-ink based readers.
