Post Output profile for the Kindle Fire HDX

Shamelessly copied from the 'Kindle Fire' profile, and modified the things I'm sure of


Code:
class KindleFireHDX7Output(KindleDXOutput):

    name = 'Kindle Fire HDX 7'
    short_name = 'kindle_fire_hdx_7'
    description = _('This profile is intended for the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7.')

    screen_size               = (1200, 1920)
    dpi                       = 323.0
    comic_screen_size = (1200, 1920)

    @classmethod
    def tags_to_string(cls, tags):
        # The idiotic fire doesn't obey the color:white directive
        from xml.sax.saxutils import escape
        return escape(', '.join(tags))

class KindleFireHDX89Output(KindleDXOutput):

    name = 'Kindle Fire HDX 8.9'
    short_name = 'kindle_fire_hdx_8_9'
    description = _('This profile is intended for the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9.')

    screen_size               = (1600, 2560)
    dpi                       = 339.0
    comic_screen_size = (1600, 2560)

    @classmethod
    def tags_to_string(cls, tags):
        # The idiotic fire doesn't obey the color:white directive
        from xml.sax.saxutils import escape
        return escape(', '.join(tags))

The exact screen resolution is probably not the correct number to be using, since the actual useable are in the renderer will be less than the spec size. Also there isn't much need for this profile, you might as well just use the Tablet Output profile which does no resizing of images at all. Modern devices are quite good at resizing images by themselves so there is no need for calibre to do it for them.
