Amazon's Kindle Fire HD tablet has been rooted despite fears of it being hack-resistant

So yesterday we reported that according to several XDA developers, they have expressed their worry that Amazon's new Kindle Fire tablets might be hack resistant due to the locked bootloader and extra security measures implemented by Texas Instruments. Well it seems that it did not take long for the rest of the community to put those fears to rest as a root method for the Kindle Fire HD tablet has already been discovered.
