advanced polarizing filter to provide vivid colors and deeper, darker
blacks at wide viewing angles, compared to iPad's display,
which can lose contrast. And Kindle Fire HD features an exclusive Dolby
Audio system with dual stereo speakers for more crisp, balanced audio,
compared to iPad's dual speakers. And when it comes to HD content,
bandwidth is everything. Kindle Fire HD also offers fast Wi-Fi with
