The ipad is not the competitor of Amazon Kindle Fire

Amazon is famous!

These words include two meanings: One is that Amazon released the Fire tablet computer in the evening on the September 28th. There are a total of four products: a large screen Kindle; two touch-screen Kindle (Wifi and 3G version); Fire tablet computer. The Fire tablet computer is a bit like China’s high-end cottage flat which has fine workmanship and ultra-thin 0.45 inches screen. Its price is also very affordable and only needs 199 dollars, if you convert it into Renminbi, the price is comparable to a cottage flat computer. Therefore, people can not help but worry for Apple: Amazon will become famous!

The second is that Amazon is firing at Apple, which is the title of many media. In fact, this is not difficult to understand, Apple held the iPhone5 conference on the October 4th, but Amazon released the Fire tablet computer in the evening on the September 28th ahead of Apple. According to press reports, Amazon is negotiating with HP to buy the new Palm and WebOS system, it seems Amazon become famous.

Some media used “subsidizing attack Apple” and “Apple obliquely” like these titles. In my opinion, Amazon is not so much powerful attack but more helpless defense. Its reason has the following sides.

1. Their target user groups are different.

Compared to the 9.7-inch iPad, 7-inch flat-panel is lost on the viewing area. Therefore, the two user groups are not the same: 7-inch flat-panel is more suitable for Asians, women and students. So 7-inch flat-panel and iPad do not have much comparability. So my judgement is that the Amazon’s biggest rival is the seven-inch flat panel instead of Apple.

The e-books has surpass traditional books in U.S. book market, in addition to Amazon and Kindle e-book, the largest channels is Nook Color. Nook Color is not famous in the country. In people’s minds, it is e-books, but it looks more like a tablet computer.

2. They have different functions

Amazon introduced the product, which is to sell print, for Kindle does not hurt the eyes and is uniquely suited to act as a carrier of the book. What is more, the color screen of the tablet computer can also act as color-oriented magazine and it supports flash formats. However, the ipad is weak in this respect, it not only does not support flash formats but also can not

Amazon has introduced four products: a large screen Kindle; two touch-screen Kindle (Wifi and 3G version); Fire tablet computer, which showed that Amazon started to focus on touch-screen and big-screen reading experience. Touch screen is easy to flip and input, large screen is to display more text, all the changes are still inseparable from the “read”.

3. They have different prices.

The price of the ipad is not high, which is cheaper than mainstream laptops. The needs of Apple is that the users to purchase applications from the iPad. But Amazon’s requirement is simpler than the ipad, they put Kindle books as the user’s shelves and channels. They only need capital preservation. So the price of the Kindle only need $ 199, low prices allows many low-end users to use it.
