New Kindle Fire, 7-Inch Fire HD Now Shipping from Amazon

The iPhone 5 isn't the only gadget ready to face anxious consumers this morning, as Amazon's new seven-inch Kindle Fire HD is in stock and ready to ship along with the refreshed Kindle Fire and the basic $69 model.

The Verge is reporting that Amazon is now shipping the 16GB model of its new seven-inch Kindle Fire HD for $199. The tablet currently shows as in stock and ready to ship, while the 32GB model for $249 is delayed until October 25.

Along with the latest HD model, the refreshed original Kindle Fire with twice the RAM, longer battery life and a faster processor is also shipping today at the newly-discounted price of only $159.

Last but not least, the basic Kindle is ready to ship for a mere $69, but if you don't fancy having to view ads, you can pony up another $20 to get the ad-free version, which is still a nice discount from its original $109 price.

If you missed out on getting an iPhone 5 preorder in before the shipping dates slipped to two weeks, maybe you can console yourself with a new Kindle -- and Amazon Prime members can have it as early as Saturday if they want to pay the extra $3.99 for one-day delivery.
