Amazon is said to be gearing up to launch the successor to the Kindle Fire HD tablet, dubbed as the Kindle Fire HD 2. As per a report by a Taiwanese web publication, Amazon is expected to launch its new range of Kindle Fire tablets which will include the Kindle Dire HD 2 sometime in the month of August or September.

The report claims that Amazon has plans to launch three new Kindle tablets including a new Kindle Fire variant that will replace the entry level Kindle Fire priced at $159, the Kindle Fire HD 7.0-inch successor which would replace the current Kindle Fire HD 7.0-inch and a revamped Kindle Fire HD 8.9-inch tablet that replaces the existing 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD.

If the rumours are true, Amazon's next generation Kindle Fire tablets would be up against the likes of the Google Nexus 2 and Apple iPad mini 2 which are also expected to launched later this year.

While Google is expected to launch its next generation Nexus tablet in August with the latest Android version running, Apple is said to be gearing up to launch its iPad mini 2 in the holiday season.

The new models of the Kindle Fire tablets are expected to be lighter and could feature a more angular design and the corners of the tablets would not be rounded as well.
