5 discoveries made about the Amazon Kindle tablet

4. It runs Android.

Amazon’s Kindle tablet will run Google’s Android platform – but it "looks nothing like the Android you’re used to seeing," says one source.

Many news outlets, including TechCrunch, The Wall Street Journal, and InformationWeek, have all confirmed that Amazon’s Kindle tablet will run Google’s Android platform.

But, writes Siegler of TechCrunch, “It looks nothing like the Android you’re used to seeing. The interface is all Amazon and Kindle. It’s black, dark blue, and a bunch of orange. The main screen is a carousel that looks like Cover Flow in iTunes which displays all the content you have on the device. This includes books, apps, movies, etc. Below the main carousel is a dock to pin your favorite items in one easy-to-access place.”
