![Amazon to Launch Two New Kindle Fire Tablets Soon [REPORT]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/05RnkweA5K3TDCCFDgGDY06/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647021105.jpg)
Amazon is gearing up to launch two new Kindle Fire tablets next month -- a 7-inch device called the "Coyote" and a 10-inch "Hollywood" tablet, according to a new report.
Tech blog BGR is reporting that the e-commerce giant is expected to launch the two devices as early as next month. The news comes on the heels of Google's announcement of its Nexus 7 tablet, a powerful inexpensive tablet ($199) that many are calling a "Kindle Fire Killer."
The Coyote is rumored to have a dual-core processor -- which also runs the existing Kindle Fire tablet -- while the Hollywood is said to tout a more powerful quad-core processor.
Amazon didn't respond to a request for comment.
The price point of the Google's Nexus 7 tablet -- which runs on Android's next generation Jelly Bean mobile operating system -- is strategic in that the company likely hopes to lure consumers away from Kindle Fire's Amazon store for purchasing e-books, music and movies to its Google Play store.
Nexus 7 is designed especially for users who enjoy watching movies, playing games and reading e-magazines. It is pre-loaded with the 2011 film Transformers: Dark of the Moon and samples of publications including Popular Science and Food Network Magazine. It also comes with $20 credit for use in Google Play.
