Retina iPad mini Kindle Fire VS HDX 7 - Tablet Zone

seek tablets on which the entire user experience is well directed, teams must choose iOS or Fire OS. Apple and Amazon have decided to create a very specific with your operating system closed. This is an alternative to Android, which starts another completely different premise.

Both companies have recently introduced compact devices or small sized tablets which are also the best starting price have and may be more attractive from the point of view of someone who wants a tablet access. If you’re in that situation we want to help you decide with this comparative Retina and iPad mini Kindle Fire HDX 7 .


Design, size and weight

Retina iPad mini Kindle Fire vs. HDX 7

Both models start from a previous generation. While Seattle have decided to change the design significantly, while rivals have preserved. The new approach is a bit retro and looks straight lines of a vintage futurism but in black plastic.

Cupertino finishing device is more luxurious, with an aluminum housing with chrome in two colors.

In terms of size, the different aspect ratios of the equipment alters the perception of differences, but we can say that two small appliances with a reduced thickness , although the mini is slightly ahead in this aspect. As regards the weight, have more or less equal, in Seattle ahead.


Screen

screens these two devices are excellent . In terms of resolution, Apple is superior, but cutting this data with the size of the screen, we get a nearly identical pixel density.


Performance

carry two devices into a real monster.

Apple

A7 is the first x64 chip found in mobile devices. This change allows you to read larger grounds at the same time as usual 32bit. Yes, third party applications are not yet adapted to this change.

rival have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, a beast that gets the highest results in becnhmarks mobile chip.

both operating systems are closed, therefore, everything is under control to work fluently.

In short, we can not complain of slow or lack of processing capacity on these two teams.

Storage

iPad mini can choose a superior choice storage to 128 GB that has no rival. However, choosing a version of the device with more internal memory leaves us quite cheaper on the Kindle Fire HDX. Look at the table below and see prices.

As for external storage, Amazon and Apple are companies that make money selling content and cloud storage, that’s why, you expect to see a micro SD slot would be naive.

Connectivity

mobile network connection is not an option in the tablet of the guys from Jeff Bezos and a competitive disadvantage compared to his opponent. However, to be a tablet geared to content, would be crazy to pay that data with our plan.

However, this team beats rival for using USB, much more universal than Lightning connector and having micro HDMI output, from which the other lacks.

Cameras and sound

Retina iPad mini

??going very well endowed as far as cameras are concerned, while his opponent has only one front for video call.

The sound of both teams is very good, but Amazon stands out in this section since its first tablet.

Battery

autonomy of both teams is similar, but the Fire tablet OS stands slightly to one hour.

Prices and conclusions

Cupertino have decided to raise slightly the price of its 7.9-inch tablet this year. It is true that equips many better specs this year, but will adversely away price of its rivals. The reality is that we could buy the Kindle Fire HDX 7th most expensive and still would save on the iPad mini Retina cheaper.

This is a negative point, since in this format and size, the consumer is looking for a competitive price. However, the quality of this team is very high, if you think about it now that’s a real iPad but smaller, that is, if it is true the slogan announcing the first generation.

In short, we believe that Apple is a better tablet If you do not look too the price. By contrast, Amazon is a great tablet at a price of Madness .

Barbastro

celebrated for two days I eBook , because of the growing importance of digital media is becoming the literary consumption.

The opening ceremony was conducted by Ezekiel Szafir, former CEO of Grupo Cortefiel and current vice president of Kindle Content Europe. The manager is fully aware that the new landscape that opens the book industry with the advent of e-books can generate debates and anxieties, but do not be swayed by the lamentations, but take action and see how use these new tools to their advantage.

“The Chinese, when they talk of crisis, refer to danger and opportunity. I predict that we will read in electronic and paper, and of course continue to buy online, but with changes, “he says.

Amazon

always been known for being a pioneer in the digital world, noting among his greatest achievements the launch of the first e-book reader, the Kindle. Six years later, this device is still the biggest seller, thanks to its low price and have a vast catalog that reaches 75,000 Spanish titles.

Szafir

notes that were the users who started suing digital reading, Amazon just responded to your request. At this time, already being sold almost double digital books physical book. And the trend is increasing, especially in England, which is almost on par with the United States in sales a year and a half less time.

Regarding Kindle

, his vice president in Europe noted that from 2008 to 2012 has increased from 2.7 to 4 the proportion of books that have been purchased online. “If you have a Kindle, buy more books,” he said, according to the data. Although it has lost the bookcase as a guru figure or literary guide, the digital market has enabled greater access to all types of securities and the act of reading has become much more practical. At present, the percentage of top authors with at least one title on Kindle is 98% in the U.S., 95% in the UK and 85% in Germany.

Therefore, the editors must be able to react as quickly as possible to adapt to this new reality will come to understand after a necessary period of learning. One of the great opportunities for the sector will cross the threshold between industry and entertainment reading, but the main thing is to digital as soon as possible to avoid jumping people continue consuming content illegally.

Amazon: Kindle Fire HDX is lighter than the iPad Air - Technology 21

kindle-fire-ipad

While Apple has a large market share of tablets with its iPad, Amazon is one of its major rivals, with its line of Kindle Fire tablets.

so when Apple recently launched the iPad Air, highlighting the lightweight team , Amazon did not miss the opportunity to endorse on the face of the Cupertino, which the new Kindle Fire HDX is even lighter than the ‘air’ , a clear reference to the iPad Air.

A day after the presentation of the iPad Air, Amazon put a banner on your home page , with the strong and graceful phrase ‘Kindle Fire HDX, lighter than air ‘(Kindle Fire HDX, Lighter than Air).

However, Amazon forgot a detail. While the tablet is lighter than the iPad Air, had also noted that the Kindle Fire HD X is smaller, then, while the iPad Air offers a 9.7 inch screen, the Kindle Fire only HDX reaches the 8.9 and 7 inches. So I think that should not compare, so freely, the 454 grams of the iPad Air, with its Kindle Fire HDX 374 and 303 grams.

Anyway, I think that Amazon had a good idea to promote your Kindle Fire HDX.

Said the new Kindle Paperwhite. - InfoBAE.com

# MundoEbooks

Differentiate Paperwhite

Two weeks ago I went to the Clarín Awards 2013 and I found a writer who wanted advice on what eBook Reader buy . Yesterday I went to meet with the writer. He pulled out his Kindle Paperwhite proud and lit it. I looked at the device side, the other and said:

– I skewered.
– Do not tell me Paperwhite Kindle?
– said the new Kindle Paperwhite .
– It’s new.
– But it is not “new”.

My friend complained to the seller but MercadoLibre MercadoLibre the seller did not know if it was the new version or the old version , then complained to the importer (for importer importer I mean model 2013: a kid who brings several Kindle in your bag every time you travel to the United States) and the importer not know if it was the new model or the old model , then the importer complained at Best Buy but at Best Buy also did not know if it was the new model or the old model.

It

Amazon launched earlier this month a new version of Kindle Paperwhite with several improvements – new display technology, faster processor, software utilities – but in the rush forgot sufficiently differentiate this model from the previous . The box says “New Paperwhite” or “Second Generation” or “Paperwhite 2″

1. The new Kindle Paperwhite has a blue boxes in the box that indicates WiFi, daylight readable, Built In Light (all existing features in the Old Paperwhite by the way)

New Kindle Paperwhite Box

2. The new Kindle Paperwhite says on the back “Kindle” (as the old model said “Amazon”)

Old New Kindle

Hope this helps. If you already have the old Paperwhite, do not recommend buying the new but if they’re buying an eBook Reader again be the New Paperwhite. It sells for U.S. $ 119 in Amazon.

Comparison: iPad mini Retina Nexus and Kindle Fire July 2013 HDX 7 - MovilZona.es

Finally came the day of the presentation of the new tablets from Apple and could see, plus the new iPad Air , how will the expected Retina iPad mini . It’s time to face the new contender with its main rivals in the market for 7 inch tablets s: Nexus July 2013 and HDX Kindle Fire 7.

Yesterday was a day of many firsts in the tablet market where not only unveiled the new and expected Air and iPad mini iPad Retina , but also the new Nokia Lumia 2520. In the segment of the 10 inches we have made a first “face to face” between the tablet of Cupertino and its main rivals such as the Sony Xperia Tablet Z and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 , which has credited with the Award ADSLZone the Tablet of the Year 2013. However, we now focus on the 7-inch model which breaks Apple with its new and very new iPad mini Retina for measured Nexus 7 ed. 2013, also recognized in these awards as the best of the year in its category, and Kindle Fire HDX.

retina ipad mini triple comparative

Design and Display

In this sense, both Apple and Google have risked little and designs are almost traced to those of previous versions of their tablets. Amazon only risks, but is in the back of your device and not on the front.

As for the screen, Apple bets on a 7.9 inch Retina display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels as opposed to 7 inches with 1920 × 1200 pixels of the other two models. It might seem that the Apple tablet, given its massive numbers well above the other two, but the reality is that in the end are fairly smooth in density with 326 dots per inch (dpi) to the mini iPad Retina and 323 dpi in Nexus 7 and Kindle HDX 7.

Entering

dimensions, there if the iPad mini Retina is unbeatable, especially if we look at the three tablets in profile. The model number Cupertino 7.5 mm its thickness while the Nexus July 2013 grows to 8.65 mm and HDX Kindle 7 reaches 9mm . However, the scale is ahead Google tablet with 290 gr , thanks to its plastic housing, compared to 311 gr Amazon model and 331 gr of Retina iPad mini.

Processor and Performance

It is true that this point is still theoretical since we could not see the three tablets facing off or simultaneous testing benchmarks. However, given the results of A7 processor 64-bit in the iPhone 5s, it is likely that the iPad mini Retina has no rival in this regard.

Facing the new Apple processor, the Nexus has a July 2013 Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.5 Ghz quadcore while the Kindle Fire 7 HDX also banking 800 quad-core Snapdragon but reached 2.2 Ghz . Both offer 2 GB of RAM for processes and, as usual, is a fact unknown to the tablet of Cupertino.

Nexus 7

Regarding internal capacity, this time Apple offered more variety of options, going from the 16 GB and models 32 GB, 64 GB and up to 128 GB . Google offers its tablet in only two combinations, 16 or 32 GB and also Amazon comes to the 64 GB in the full model HDX Kindle Fire 7 inches.

House

While the rear camera on tablets is not a very defining element – the end of the day is quite ridiculous to go around making photos with a device of its kind – is a useful addition and no less interesting.

In this sense, Apple is putting forward the iPad Mini Retina of its two competitors because despite tying in “megapixelaje” ( 5 MP ) with and l Nexus July 2013 and its ability to record video FullHD, which exceeds a focal f2.4 aperture. Both have a second front camera 1.2 MP. Gone is the Kindle Fire HDX which only offers, on the other hand maybe the more you use, the 1.3 MP front camera without rear light.

Autonomy

A very prominent

yesterday in the presentation as the iPad mini Retina, despite having a processor and most demanding display energy consumption remains figure 9-10 hours of battery life. figure similar to that which promises the Nexus July 2013 brand 9.5 hours of endurance for 3,950 mAh battery (slightly smaller than the previous mini iPad, assume for the similarity of dimensions, repeated mini iPad Retina 4,490 mAh).

New Kindle Fire HDX.

In this sense, and on paper, the Kindle Fire HDX distance and the lead tablets both Google and Apple, with about 11 hours of autonomy .

Connectivity

Both

Retina iPad mini as Nexus 7 2o13 have LTE connection capabilities , in both cases depends on what you want to scratch your pocket as the models with this connection are the most expensive. The Kindle Fire HDX 7 on the other hand, is only available in version Wifi n , free to carry all models that offer Google and Apple.

Turning to other connections, the three offer Bluetooth , but we know how he spends Apple in the “uses” permitted this, and only Nexus July 2013 of the three offers NFC.

Software

What is best and worst occupation? Perhaps this is the most controversial aspect of value. The mini iPad Retina come with the new iOS 7.0.3 (if not another update is released before November 1 ) while is expected to Nexus July 2013 soon upgrade to Android 4.4 KitKat. Meanwhile, still in the latest version of Google’s OS, Android 4.3 Jelly Bea n. For its part, the Kindle has its own OS Fire.

is clear that Amazon’s tablet does not have the power and the amount of content that Google and especially Apple offered in their respective app stores which presentation yesterday at the Cupertino indicated that they had more than 475,000 apps for iPad.

Price

And we may end the most defining data, which touches our pocket. The mini iPad Retina have the cheapest model (16GB Wifi) by 389 euros . For his part, Nexus July 2013 (16GB Wifi) of the 229 euros , same price as the Kindle Fire HDX 7 with similar characteristics.

From there, things get complicated. IPad mini models Retina WiFi 32, 64 and 128 GB will be available for 479, 569 and 659 euros respectively. As LTE-connected computers will go on sale from 509 euros (599, 689 and 779 for the 32, 64 and 128 GB).

July 2013

Nexus 32GB and LTE connection costs 349 euros while the Kindle Fire 7 32GB HDX reaches 269 euros and the 64 GB comes to 309 euros.

Kindle Fire HDX in Spain - Northern Chronicle

New generation of Kindle Paperwhite - The País.com (Spain)

out the difference is hardly noticeable. Yes, it is lighter, but the housing looks like. No one button. The back gives him away. Kindle gets longer, the device name, but Amazon, the shop. The sixth generation of Kindle, Paperwhite second, as referred to the backlit display with better contrast, promises a longer battery life and fluency in reading management.

In the new edition have been removed blue flashing light was the first model. It is also much more uniform, out of the four sides so you end up with the twilight zone on the bottom.

The feeling of reading a physical book is more attainable, and has an additional advantage can be read in the dark without more lamps. Practical, for example, in an aircraft. Is increased pixel density and, consequently, the definition. Have a processor 20% faster loading reduces the delay contained in the store, search within files or turn the page. It does not show much flicker to advance reading. The two gigs of memory left over 1,100 books house.

deliveries during Spain starts on October 22. It costs 129 euros. On November 12, will the model with 3G connection, for 189 euros. Although we have yet to test the model with this connection, is expected to keep the dimensions but with a few grams more, as has been standard so far. Comes with charging cable for microUSB connection, the same as most phones, except the iPhone, making it easy to support others. Of time has reasonable use for over a week and more than half battery intact.

Amazon class=”texto_grande”>

Amazon’s secret weapon is not in the benefits of the device itself, but what it means: a gateway to digital catalog broader market. Still missing the price difference between the physical and digital book more attractive in Spain. This alleviates the daily deals, almost unbeatable and interesting proposals, but only available for 24 hours. One way to get used to going into the store every day, if only to ask.

Another virtue of the Amazon ecosystem is borrowing books to friends who also have the device, but for now just a srvicio of Amazon.com and can not be activated from Spain. Disappears from our e-reader for two weeks, which goes to the friend, and again after expiry of the term.

may not have the versatility of a tablet, but be clear that it is an apparatus for reading. That is their unique advantage, there is no distraction, alerts or social network notifications. Only one device to carry many books and read them in the dark or in the sun on the beach. In that there is no device better than the electronic reader.

  • The new iPad 5 and Apple iPad mini 2 presents this week
  • Android tablet sales exceed those of iPad for the first time

Madrid, October 21 (EFE). – The new versions of Apple tablets , the iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 , will be presented tomorrow, will reach a market much more diverse and complex than its predecessors. The technology of Cupertino (California) teach the fifth-generation iPad, the tablet of 9.7 inches, and the second of iPad mini, her younger sister, of 7.9 inches.

Given the forecast of analysts and the media, the iPad mini 2 will include a retina display high definition, a faster processor and an improved camera. The small tablet Apple has become the star of the house: it is estimated that two out of three iPads sold are mini.

Meanwhile, her older sister is lighter and thinner, improve its processing capacity and their cameras could be equipped with the fingerprint sensor introduced in the iPhone 5S and marketed in different colors.

Apple

manufacturer remains the highest number of tablets sold. However, the market is diversifying and competition is gaining positions at high speed thanks to technical improvements and a wide range of price competitive. Last September, the market intelligence firm ABI Research said the number of tablets Android first exceeded sold to Apple in the second quarter.

Twelve months ago the Cupertino technology does not renew its fleet of tablets and tomorrow will present an innovative approach to prevent competitors scratching him more market share in a category, that of the tablets, palatable to the consumer. According to tech consultancy Gartner, tablet sales-a device that Apple first marketed in 2010 – will grow this year by 53.4% ??to 184 million devices.

leadership of the company founded by Steve Jobs in this field was virtually unquestioned not so long ago, but the scenario has changed because competitors have sprinted to overshadow the iPad . Face planted Apple Tablet Amazon with its economic Kindle Fire , Google with the solvent and competitive Nexus 7 Samsung with a catalog of sizes, features and price ranges and Microsoft which advocates a more professional with Surface .

Asus , Lenovo and Acer also move your chips and white markings are very popular in China and other emerging markets. Furthermore, Nokia tomorrow unveil its proposal for this business.

“phablets”, this new category halfway between tablets and smartphones, can hurt. So tough is the competition that Microsoft even offered up to $ 200 to individuals who want to change their iPad by Surface.

Apple still has the upper hand applications designed specifically for their tablets, a competitive edge-on Android-key for some devices used to consume content.

addition to new iPad , is expected to confirm tomorrow U.S. technology company that renews laptop MacBook Pro Intel Haswell Processor , updating the Apple TV and set date to release of the new Mac Pro cylindrical , announced in June, and the new operating system for Mac OS Mavericks . EFE

We present the new Amazon Kindle Fire tablets HDX. The new HDX devices are named for their display. Amazon says that he wanted to go beyond HD, HDX invented why.

What hides behind this name are high density screen pixels, with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels on the 7-inch model and 2560 x 1600 pixels on the 8.9-inch model.

also has automatic contrast control that adapts to the need of light. But perhaps the third part is that according to Amazon, these screens fail to achieve perfect color accuracy reaching 100% reliability with respect to the RGB source.

Inside the new Kindle Fire HDX is a quad-core 2.2 GHz, a front camera HD, Wi-Fi with two internal antennas, in capacities of 16, 32 or 64 GB and U.S. option choosing a 4G version on Verizon.

The only differences are the screen size and resolution, both share features except the 8.9-inch version, which also comes with a rear camera of 8 megapixels. The price starts at $ 250.

The Amazon Kindle Phone recognize objects in three dimensions - Android Help

Where there’s smoke there’s fire. And in this case carries many months ringing. We talked about the Amazon smartphone market launch. When said they would not get this 2013, they were claiming that they were preparing one would come in 2014. And not be a phone without more, would be able to recognize objects in three dimensions, according to a company’s patent.

not too long ago said that Amazon would have a problem to launch a smartphone, and you still need a number of patents that any manufacturer should have to make a terminal. However, this approach lacked some variables, such as the fact that HTC would be the manufacturer, not Amazon itself, the smartphone. But in any case, it seems that the company founded by Jeff Bezos has already begun to file patents on some technologies that could have the new smartphone. One would be the ability to recognize 3D objects.

Kindle Phone

Amazon benefits obtained from this would be very large, they could offer these products at unbeatable prices. You do not need to even know who manufactured your particular speakers, or shoes with recognize the smartphone, Amazon will locate what they are and if you have them for sale, and the price thereof. At least, that’s what you see in the scheme of the patent.

Obviously, this is only an outline and finally may differ from what is reality. However, it appears that the recognition of books will be easier than other objects. With a simple photograph to front, Amazon can locate it in its database and tell us your price. In the case of objects, such as speakers or shoes, we must capture the image in three dimensions, for which they will have to surround the object itself to get photos from all angles, and thus allow Amazon to compare with its base data. As always, though, will have to wait for Amazon to announce its new smartphone and what are the technologies included.

iFixit guts HDX Kindle Fire 7 and concludes that it is very difficult to repair - Tablet Zone

Although we do not like ourselves in the worst case when we buy a new device, we must assess how much it will cost to fix in the event of a disaster. To determine this without having to get in tessitura can always enlist the help of colleagues at iFixit. On this occasion, gutted the new Kindle Fire HDX 7 and its conclusions are very negative. Just get a note 3 out of 10 in repairability scale , with 10 being the best.

HDX Kindle Fire 7 repair

problems that the Amazon tablet are:

battery is attached with a strong adhesive and requires need to dismantle the entire motherboard to remove. Also, after much heat must be used to melt the glue.

motherboard is very difficult to change . To do this we have to separate the center of the screen frame and then get back to dock.

LCD panel is glued to glass that covers the screen. This means that if we drop the device and the screen is broken, we will replace the two components and, therefore, raise the price of the repair.

Although not as problematic, the back cover is removed by unscrewing a few screws and disassembling some hitches. This operation is somewhat uncomfortable, but at least we found the rivers of glue used in the battery.

The only positive point is that some modular components can be replaced individually.

The other side is that this is not expensive equipment. That is, breaking and profitable exit not repair it, we will not lose much money.

The Kindle Fire HDX outperforms its predecessor - La Prensa de Honduras

Washington United States

Imagine if you could call a specialist service and this is presented in a matter of seconds in a live video on your digital device. And now imagine that person can draw on your screen or even take control of your device to solve a problem.

That is precisely what can the latest model of the Kindle Fire tablet, the Kindle Fire HDX. This assistance system, called Mayday button (meaning relief), is the most unusual feature in what otherwise would be a normal evolution of color tablets the company.

However, a better help system is not exactly the main reason to buy a new tablet. After all, the tablets should be simple and easy to use. But Mayday fits the durable and deserved reputation for customer service from Amazon. I’ve been testing the Fire
HDX and is a good color tablet and easily.

This latest model, the starting price is U.S. $ 229 in the U.S. for 7-inch version I used, is clearly better than the Fire HD last year, which started at $ 199 for the 7- inches.

(There is also a large and expensive version of the HDX, with a 8.9-inch screen). For now, the tablet is only available in the U.S. through Amazon.com and several retail stores. The company has not yet announced the launch date of the product outside the U.S., said a spokeswoman
Amazon. Like previous models of Fire, is best described as a passport in hardware to purchase digital content from Amazon.

The base model shoots

ads from the home screen, but you can buy one without advertising for $ 15 more. The 7-inch Fire HDX, like its predecessor, still not as versatile
or offer as many features as rival tablets like Apple iPad Mini or Google Nexus 7.
Offers only a fraction third-party applications available in Apple stores or Google and
lacks popular apps like Instagram, Dropbox, Google Maps, YouTube and Netflix (Amazon
says that Netflix is ??coming soon).

Unlike the iPad Mini or the Nexus, the HDX Fire does not have a rear camera. And the HDX does not have an equivalent of artificial intelligence programs, controlled by voice commands, such as Apple’s Siri and Google Now. The tablet offers a battery life of 7.5 hours regularly exceeds 6 hours of the Nexus 7, but is lower at 10 hours and 27 minutes of the iPad Mini. (I used my standard test in which I put the screen on 75% brightness, I keep Wi-Fi on and I play videos stored on the tablet until the battery runs out).

So what makes the new Kindle HDX exceeds the previous model? Well, it has
splendid screen high resolution offered by 323 pixels per inch, the same as last
Nexus 7 U.S. $ 229, much higher than the 163 pixels per inch iPad Mini U.S. $ 329 (although
Mini screen is much larger, 7.9 inches).

screen also could read somewhat better than the iPad under the sunlight. The Fire HDX has a faster processor than the delay of the device removed since cycled to when work began
I observed when testing last year’s model.

HDX

Fire also has a new operating system and some new features that are great. The home screen carousel still showing apps, songs, books and videos recently used, but underneath that are now icons
favorite applications and you can hide the carousel if distracting. There is also a new sidebar to quickly switch from one active application to another. This appears when you slide your finger from the corner of the screen.

Perhaps

new feature that I like is called X-Ray for Music, which displays the lyrics of the songs you are listening to a synchronized manner. The Fire HDX is thinner and lighter than the previous model. But since the edge is narrower, the power and volume buttons are on the back of the tablet
. I found them uncomfortable and slow. Like its predecessors, the Fire is technically HDX
an Android tablet that hides Android to end it invisible.

HDX lacks any indication of the Android interface, applications
standards that come on most Android devices and standard store Android applications, Google Play. Instead, use an operating system called Fire Amazon OS 3.0. Amazon has its own store for Fire HDX and has 85,000 applications, compared with nearly one million respectively
in stores Google and Apple applications.

If you are looking for a tablet mainly consume content from Amazon, the new Kindle Fire HDX is a good choice.

A Apple is not without competitors. If Samsung is following in the steps closely, and even manages to surpass him in innovation on more than one occasion, Apple every day faces Sony, LG and other companies do not hesitate to launch their innovative products that bring down the eternal rival.

To this is added a new opponent who appeared in the last few hours. The protagonist is none other than Amazon. The company presented in style your new Kindle Fire HDX . The new tablet features a thinner and lighter design, a full high-definition and high-performance processor.

It adds two speakers with Dolby Digital Plus and has the Fire operating system OS 3.0 ” Mojito “. “For € 139 you can buy a high screen resolution of 1280×800 at 216 pixels per inch, a Dual-Core 1.5 GHz, the Fire OS 3.0 operating system, dual speakers with Dolby audio and a wide selection and features like Mode Mirror, Collections Cloud, without interruptions Mode, Quick-Switch and much more, “they said from the company.

” We are delighted to offer this fantastic hardware clients and this service at a great price ” continued. However, if you have something to stand out above all of that is the battery. “It lasts more than 11 hours in mixed use and 17 hours in reading mode”, topped.

Similarly, the tablet includes applications of e-mail, calendar and browser as well as new features, both hardware and software: encryption, intranet Kerberos, secure wireless connections, VPN integration and wireless printing. As usual in these tablets, Kindle Fire HDX features a full integration with the ecosystem Amazon.com content: more than 27 million songs, books and games, plus videos and journals through the Amazon Apps Store .

We are innovating at an incredible rate and we are delighted to launch our new Kindle Fire HDX Amazon.es , “said Jeff Bezos , founder and Chief Amazon.com delegate.

Kindle Paperwhite (2013) - ALT1040

Kindle Paperwhite

resolution 212 PPP
Dimensions : 16.9 x 11.7 x 0.91 cm
Weight : 206 grams
Connectivity : Wi-Fi / Wi-Fi + 3G
Price : 129 euros / $ 119

When we are looking for a device for reading electronic books, Kindle is unrivaled. It’s just like when he left the first Game Boy or the first iPod, are products that excel in a specific area and, as for reading eBooks, Amazon is the undisputed king. Now we have a new Kindle Paperwhite, which further enhances the experience with the previous model.

Let there be light!

previous Kindle models have always been praised for their quality of reading, offering an experience closer to paper and away from the bright screens of our electronic devices. With the arrival of the Kindle Paperwhite included a backlit display that facilitates its use in low-light situations.

I have to admit that at first I thought that the inclusion of this feature would ruin the “Kindle experience”. I was wrong. This device offers the possibility to adapt the light from the screen to your liking is a plus point . Amazon has solved very well the degree to which adjusts the brightness of the screen, which can go very slowly increasing, unchanged aggressive.

This means we can be in a dark room with a small lamp on and activate the backlight up to 10%, be supportive and complementing the surrounding natural lighting . The result is a much more enjoyable and comfortable viewing. Once used, you never want to use a Kindle without this feature.

Hardware

Not much new in this aspect. We are dealing with a product with a similar look the first Kindle Paperwhite, which was introduced a little over a year. The new model has the same weight, same battery and same dimensions. As a curiosity, the logos are different: the logo front where you can read “kindle” and especially in the rear where the same word has disappeared and has been replaced by “Amazon” in a glossier finish.

class=”alignright”> Same weight, same battery and same dimensions as the previous model still has a micro USB port on the bottom to load the device and connect it to the computer. Right next to it we can find the button on and off, which is a constant in the different models of Kindle. No more, no more buttons, as we continue to find to a touchscreen , by which we manage the different menus. I still miss the headphone jack old models

processor has been updated , from 800 MHz to 1 GHz, providing faster response whenever you had a page and browsing through the store, etc.. It’s very subtle, since the model last year and worked in a fluid, but always appreciated that lighten the load times. At the same time, the display has been updated offering improved contrast, but also a slight improvement.

Software

Interface you make is also virtually identical to the first model. In the menu at the top we have our books, choosing among which are stored in the Amazon cloud or that we downloaded to the internal memory. At the bottom we show books that have “won awards,” a way to entice the user to keep buying books and generate more profit for the company.

I find it very useful to be able to consult any word in the dictionary and in Wikipedia , the latter being a safe option that you’ll end up using constantly. To activate it, just have to press a second (so you do not get confused and go to page) a word or slide your finger on several contextual menu will appear.

I keep longing

class=”alignright”> In full reading can move from page swiping one side or just touching one thereof. It works great, but I’m longing for the buttons of my first Kindle because by holding the frame of the device with one hand could turn the page without having to separate the hand or make a gesture overtime.

To enable the menu

have to touch the top of the screen and displayed the different options: find a word, change the lighting, go to the store or return to the main menu. Includes a browser based on WebKit , which works much better than previous Kindle models. Useful if you want quick consult a particular thing, but I doubt anyone use this device to surf regularly.

At the bottom right of the screen appears that shows the total percentage of the book that we completed. On the opposite side (bottom left) you can see the page number and pressing can know how long it will take to finish the chapter or the whole book. Just to prove we lack integration with Goodreads, Amazon bought the platform last March. This service is expected to be active by the end of this year, allowing users receive recommendations based on your tastes or preferences.

Conclusion

9

is difficult to improve something that no one has passed . Amazon has updated some features of the eBook reader, with which it intends to continue to lead the market for these devices. The Kindle Paperwhite is doing well all its tasks and today I can think of few areas where you need to evolve. Obviously, you get the menu navigation faster, but now I think it offers a very acceptable quality. If you’re looking for an e-book reader, I recommend you stop looking and pick this product.

Pros
    • Display: backlight and quality
    • Consult any term in the Wikipedia
    • Books from Amazon
  • Cons
      I keep throwing at fault
    • side buttons
    • Reduce

    • a little more weight and will be perfect

    id=”txt”>

    It is. I have always been passionate about chess and all the coincidences between chess and board life. The pawn is the only chess piece that can only walk forward, never back. And when there is an obstacle to change direction to get around. Your job as a cop, he has paved the way to be a writer?
    I help. One can not write what you do not know. My job as a policeman is my main source of inspiration.

    realism in his latest novel comes to the point that on their website shows actual photographs of the scenes where he spent …
    had long wanted to write a real novel hundred percent. Of course, the characters are invented, like the story told in the novel, but the space in which they operate is real.

    In their literature predominates detective genre, but it is the only …
    No, I liked to experiment with other genres such as youth or the fantastic. I think you have to write everything, especially to prevent readers will pigeonholed into a specific genre.

    What does the plot that ‘Night of the laborers’ is develop in Huesca
    The actual does, as I said before, and tries to prove that there is to go far to find ingredients to build a novel.

    You have embarked on a new path in the world of literature. The ebook to paper …
    Yes, the terms have been invested. Thanks to “succeed” in the ebook publishers have wanted to publish my works on paper.

    You think it’s necessary coexistence of both supports
    Of course, at least for now. Within a few years back to talk again about this and my answer may have changed.

    piracy also extends to digital book, what dangers think you may have for writers and editors?
    If not channeled or controlled enough … THE END. Do you remember when there was a DVD movie on every corner? That’s it.

    You autoeditado their books on the Internet. What benefits and disadvantages involved over conventional publishing
    already said Juan Palomo: I cook it and I eat it. The DTP allows full control over the book layout, proofreading, cover, distribution, price. I recommend it to all those authors who are not publishing.

    Four of his novels are among the hundred best selling books Kindle platform and “The house across the street” is a year between the best- Mystery sellers on Amazon.com. Being finalist Nadal Does it help sell more books?
    An award not makes a good book, but it helps more is known. It has helped a lot.

    Internet, is known as one of the founders of the generation Kindle. What does it mean?
    that in late 2011 and exploiting the digital book landing in Spain, came a wave of new hitherto unknown authors, like myself. Generation Kindle has been the opportunity to publish many authors.

    think literature is or should be above the supports on which is distributed
    Let me put it another way, if you read ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ in paper and ebook I read it, the result is that both you and I have read that novel.

    As good cop and writer, give us a clue, what is the new novel to be published in early 2014?.
    and police will star in one of the same characters that appear in ‘¨ The night of the laborers’. I feel comfortable writing about that girl.
