On top of that, Kindle Fire 8.9 has a higher screen resolution and processor, which should in turn get a better quality display on the screen itself. But at the end of the day the quality display isn’t too different between one and the other, and your decision should be done according to screen size and not quality.

Currently, the difference between these two when it comes to price is merely $70, and that is certainly not worth it if you are just going to use the device to read some sweet eBooks, but if you are going to watch a lot of videos as well, it is probably better to go the extra mile and to go for Kindle Fire 8.9.
