New Fire Max 11

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1VQ1ZQY

Notable changes:

- aluminum chassis (only about 20g heavier than Fire HD 10)
- Fingerprint ID
- improved cameras (auto focus 8GB rear, 2GB front)
- 'low blue light certified' display (222 ppi)
- on device handwriting to text
- 14 hr battery (Fire HD 10 is 12 hr)
- (optional) Stylus with pressure sensitivity and tilt
- (optional) keyboard/trackpad case w direct connection (not Bluetooth)

$229.99 (64 GB), $329.99 for productivity bundle (including keyboard case and stylus)

So basically an iPad clone, with lower specs, and a much worse App Store.

Given the stylus support, and handwriting to text, I think they'll be adding Notebook functionality identical to Scribe (maybe along with support in iPadOS Kindle app as well).

I might trade in my little used Fire HD 10 (or some other TBD Amazon device I have laying around) for the 20% + gift card offer, especially if there's a Prime Day deal.
