Amazon is running a one-day-only promotion on its 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD tablet, offering $50 off the $299 price tag. While it's not the best tablet around — we definitely recommend paying the extra $15 to remove the ads from the device — the Fire HD got a generally-positive 7.9. The Kindle Team tweeted that "quantities are limited," so if you're interested head on over to the source link below and use the code FIREHD89.

Amazon has just rolled out its Appstore in five European markets. The store is a rival to Google Play, and sells Android apps for phones and tablets. Hopefully, we will start to see exclusive titles on the store. The store is now live in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. With its Ecosystem now in place, in the largest markets, there is very little stopping Amazon from brining its kindle Fire tablet - or its rumoured smartphone - over to Europe.

Amazon is holding a press conference on September 6th where we hope to see the new Kindle fire tablet kitted out with all the latest and greatest hardware, so stay tuned for more Amazon news soon.
