AT&T (T) on Monday announced the availability of Amazon’s (AMZN) Kindle Fire HD 8.9 4G LTE tablet online and in stores later this week. AT&T is selling the tablet for $399 and will allow customers to add the device to their existing Mobile Share plans for $10 a month. However the carrier also says it will knock off $150 for customers who sign a two-year service agreement, lowering the overall cost to $249. The Kindle Fire HD is equipped with an 8.9-inch 1920 × 1200 pixel display, 1GB of RAM and a 1.5GHz dual-core TI OMAP4 processor.

“Being the first carrier to connect Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD to our 4G LTE network provides the best mobile internet experience,” said Chris Penrose, senior vice president of emerging devices for AT&T. “Combining our 4G LTE with Kindle Fire HD’s rich features at an incredible price point yields a great value and experience for our customers.”

The Kindle Fire HD 8.9 4G LTE will be available online and in AT&T stores on April 5th.
