Amazon has unveiled a colour tablet computer called the Kindle Fire. The $199 (£130) device will run a modified version of Google's Android operating system. Until now, the company has limited itself to making black and white e-readers, designed for consuming books and magazines.
As well as targeting Apple's iPad, Amazon is likely to have its sights on rival bookseller US Barnes & Noble, which already has a colour tablet. The Kindle Fire will enter a hugely competitive market, dominated by Apple's iPad.
