The Amazon Kindle Fire is ano<strong>the</strong>r tablet that is<br />
much cheaper than o<strong>the</strong>r tablets. The Kindle<br />
Fire evolved from <strong>the</strong> Kindle ebook reader,<br />
which was not a tablet at first. Amazon<br />
released <strong>the</strong> Kindle as a device for reading<br />
ebooks. Eventually, Amazon went into <strong>the</strong><br />
growing tablet market by releasing <strong>the</strong> Kindle<br />
Fire. The Fire offers much of <strong>the</strong> same<br />
capabilities of a tablet but is only about $200. It<br />
runs on <strong>the</strong> Android OS.<br />
Windows Ultrabooks are a combination of<br />
tablets and laptops. They offer <strong>the</strong> space of an<br />
ordinary laptop, while also offering <strong>the</strong><br />
touchscreen capabilities of a tablet. They also<br />
feature a retractable keyboard, allowing <strong>the</strong><br />
user to give <strong>the</strong> look of a tablet or laptop.<br />
