The new one got here Wednesday afternoon. Here is the difference between an original Kindle Fire and a new Kindle Fire 10 (technically they now call it an Amazon Fire 10). Turned to same page of same book, with basically same font size. 1 page on the 10 is basically 2 pages on the old one. Oh yeah, I like it.
In the picture above it is in a softer carrying case. But, I figured I might as well go ahead and get a bluetooth keyboard for it (it is a "tablet" after all), and that comes with a hard case.
I'll use the soft case for every day use, but I'm sure the keyboard will come in handy at times.
One of the great things is that they changed the power cord to a connector that is the same as my phone, which is very convenient instead of juggling several different types of connector.
The size is quite different. It seems to me that companies should get together to standardize connectors and chargers. It's ridiculous to make customers put up with such inconvenience.

That connector thing drives me crazy. I have a couple of MP3 players (one for the truck and one for the bike when I had it, the second one bought as refurbished). They are both by the same company and they have different connection types. To an extent I can understand different companies doing it differently (say Apple and Samsung), but it is ridiculous that I can't charge both MP3 players off the same cord.
