Amazon Taking Pre-orders for $249 Bundle Based on Fire 8 HD Tablet

Amazon began taking pre-orders Monday for a Kindle Fire bundle built around the Fire 8 HD tablet. The $249 bundle combines the tablet with a year of Kindle Unlimited and a limited edition leather cover, which sell separately for $349, Amazon said. Kindle Unlimited gives users access to more than 1 million books and thousands of audio books. The Kindle Fire HD 8 includes Blue Shade, a feature designed to limit the amount of blue light emitted for comfortable night viewing, and 8 GB internal storage, Amazon said. Storage is expandable to 128 GB via microSD.
