Is Amazon readying two new Kindle Fire tablets?

With pressure from the Nexus 7, it looks likely that the next iteration of the Kindle Fire will come in two sizes

Google's 7in Nexus 7 looks set to take a bite out of the equally pocket-friendly Kindle Fire's sales – so Amazon looks to be going super-sized with the next version of its budget Android tablet.

It's already been reported that the Kindle Fire 2 should be landing in July. Now, according to anonymous sources of BGR, Amazon is going to also unveil a 10in Kindle Fire 2 tablet in direct competition with Apple’s iPad.

While details are sparse it’s expected to offer microUSB, a front-facing camera and HDMI-out. Whether Amazon can undercut Apple on price once again – as with the first Kindle Fire – remains to be seen. Upsizing the Kindle also seems to put it into iPad territory where the comparisons will not be kind.

Finally, the question remains: with the Nexus 7 available for pre-order locally, will Australians ever see a Kindle Fire?
