One of the most significant departures in Amazon's new Kindle Fire lineup from previous iterations of the brand - and one rather lost in all the hoo-hah over pricing - is the inclusion of a slot for "a microSD card for up to 128 GB of additional storage," as well as the internal storage - 8 GB on the new basic Kindle Fire 7. Obviously, Amazon's bid to push Kindle buyers to move to the "free unlimited cloud storage for all Amazon content and photos taken with Fire devices" as their default storage option wasn't 100 percent successful, and the shift to external microSD storage acknowledges the fact.
