In case you didn’t already know, Amazon really wants you to know about the features on its Kindle Fire.
After touting earlier this week highlighed applications, we have one more reason to consider the 7-inch device.
According to a follow-up to Wednesday’s press announcement, Amazon also plans to offer support for Hulu Plus and its library of content. So in case the access to Amazon’s standard library of movies, television shows, and music isn’t enough, Hulu Plus can offer you more.
