Amazon's new aluminum Fire HD 10 with increased storage

For those who want their Fire HD 10 tablet to look more like an iPad Air, Amazon is now offering the tablet in a silver aluminum all-metal enclosure.

And as a bonus, the aluminum finish won't cost you any more than the black or white finishes - a 16GB unit costs $229.99, while the 32GB option is $259.99.

But there more to the new aluminum-finish Fire HD 10 than a new shell - it is the only Fire HD 10 tablet offered with 64GB of storage for $289.99.

Just as with the other Fire HD 10 tablets. There's a microSD card slot that allows storage to be bumped up to a maximum of 128GB.

At only 7.7mm thick, the all-aluminum Fire HD 10 is one of Amazon's thinnest tablets ever.

It features a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 HD display with a pixel density of 149 pixels-per-inch, a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, and front- and rear-facing cameras. According to Amazon, the battery is good for up to 8 hours of reading, surfing the web, watching videos, and listening to music.
