But what about over here in the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe?

Well according to a report over at Slash Gear, Amazon has now confirmed that both the Amazon Kindle Fire, and Amazon Kindle Fire HD will be released in the United Kingdom and across Europe on the 25th of October, and this will be the first time Amazon’s Android slates have launched outside the United States.

As for how much the Android based tablets will cost UK customers, the 7-inch Amazon Kindle Fire will command a price tag of 129-quid for an 8GB model, whilst if you would like to purchase the 7-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HD, the device will set you back 159-quid for the 16GB model, or 199-quid for the 32GB version.

Currently the 7-inch Google Nexus 7 tablet goes for £159 in the United Kingdom, which means that Amazon is offering a larger tablet for the same price or a similar sized tablet for roughly 20 percent less.

As for the European price, the Amazon Kindle Fire will command a price tag of €159 , whilst the 16GB Amazon Kindle Fire HD will cost €199, and the 32GB Kindle Fire HD will cost €249, again all shipping as of the 25th of October.
