Amazon is launching a new line of Kindle tablets, complete with Facebook integration and a custom Facebook application.

Facebook worked closely with Amazon to optimize the Kindle experience for Facebook users. Kindle users will not get a Facebook app built by Amazon using the Facebook application-programming interface as a third-party developer: They will enjoy an app created by Facebook itself just for the Kindle platform.

This Facebook app for Kindle and other Facebook integrations could motivate users of the social network to try out the Kindle Fire HD, which Amazon called a high-quality, economical alternative to Apple’s iPad tablet.

The new Kindles are currently available for pre-order.
