How do we know when a thread is talking about the first gen or second gen. Don't both devices (small and large) use the same names: HD & HD+
Thus how does one differentiate?

What second generation? There is only one.
The 7" is the HD and the 9" is the HD+. That is all there is.

Yeah... Not sure what the confusion is, you even differentiated them yourself. "HD, HD+"

Hi.
I'm looking to replace my Nook HD with a new 7' tablet. I've read and seen what the Kindle Fire HD can do but i would like to ask whether there is another one "better" in terms of processor performance, battery life, screen resolution/quality and gaming capabilities. I'm thinking about the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and the Asus Fonepad. (I have disregarded the Nexus 7 as it's old and a new one is on the horizon)
Please advice.
Galaxy tab 3 is on its way out here shortly as well...
I own the galaxy tab 2, and it is my favorite but the screen is worse, and I think the speed is a bit less as well.
What the tab 2 does have is a huge dev section, usb otg, and external sd card and it is smaller/lighter.
Fwiw in argument on the favorite part my wife won't let me run cm10.1 on the kfhd...when you use the standard kindle app from Google play you lose the kindle tts ability in its app.
The kfhd is also a brick...you can't break the thing. the tab 2 seems breakable with its glass screen.

Wait for the next generation of Nexus tablets or wait till Amazon updates thee kindle lineup, both should arrive towards the holiday season.

Talking about TTS, Ivona, the company behind the sensual internal voice of the Kindle, has been purchased by Amazon. http://www.ivona.com/en/news/amazoncom-announces-acquisition-of-ivona-software/
On the other side, comparing a stock Kindle with other stock tablets doesn't make justice to the machine, as Amazon deliberately masks its many potentials down the disguise of a cash register...
Put a Kinology rom on it and you'll enjoy a real and full of details racer....without losing the trading Amazon environment.
And yes, the Kindle app made for other androids doesn't have TTS on it, but Ivona works the same nicely on other much better readers from Market.
By better you mean readers that can't read kindle drm....

They are better, Moonreader, Coolreader for example, have multiple options that makes the reading more enjoyable.
Nor Kindles can read EPUBs, but that fearful DRM can be surpased(you have the right if you have purchased legally the book, and you have), you can convert from Kindle format to EPUB and reverse if you want, with a PC program called Calibre and a few secret hints that you can search.....
I didn't see a sub forum for it yet. I'm talking about the white polycarbonate model. On the B&N website they mention no differentiator from the prior gen, its simple called NOOK HD or HD+.
Do we here on XDA have another name for it (like new hd+) or (White HD)..ect ect.

The white HD is exactly the same as the other HD only a different color. It is not new.

Yes. In fact, my first HD that I bought last December was a white one and the zips I made for the HD were made for it. It is identical to all the other HDs.

Ok so this is probably a stupid question but I have the Kindle Fire HD 7" with the front facing camera and I just got a new KFHD but its the new 2013 lineup refresh without the camera. Would that be considered the kindle fire 2 or still just kindle fire HD 7 inch. It also has the fire OS 3.0 blah blah etc who cares lol. Just looking to put CM on this thing. :good:
is the hd, but you cant use cm, because the device is different

It says on xda it has a 8" screen, but everyone is talking about this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00TS...448583929&sr=8-6&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=kindle this is the one that I bought
This is the correct section for the 7" Fire that you indicate you have purchased.

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me how to get it out of demo mode?
Got it as part of a stock clearance, shop closing, didn't realise it was a demo.
Thank you so much
