We could not end the year without having analyzed the new Kindle Paperwhite 2013 , a product that already has a couple of months on the market but that is just now making the leap to the physical store.
If we look at Amazon’s description on the official website see that is a measured renewal of the earlier version already discussed and we conclude that, in our opinion, was the best ebook reader in the market.
Kindle Paperwhite still the king? Are there visible improvements by Amazon? Is it worth the extra price reaching 129 euros starting Let’s see.
Design
Identical
. The product not only holds the name – although our use “New Kindle Paperwhite 2013″ Amazon just calls and simply called “older generation” to the original – but the size, weight and design to the point of putting them together we hard time distinguishing .
should be remembered that this leads to a device 16.9 cm x 11.7 cm x 0.91 cm, with 206 grams for a six-inch screen. The balance is to a book reader very light , usable to some extent – more on this later -. With one hand and with a very sober aesthetic
The only button is the on / off switch and is located at the bottom of the device, which continues to be a place somewhat inconvenient as grabbed by hand.
Possible improvements
one would expect? Perhaps reducing the size of the device, rather than on the side frame that helps the experience, but maybe at the top or bottom where there is much and complicate the possibility that it is a portable device in your pocket.
The screen and processor New Kindle Paperwhite 2013
Although on paper is a proposal continuity – with the same density of pixels, 212 ppi -. stresses that Amazon is precisely on the screen where efforts has improved hardware Paperwhite
What experience are we? a device that offers very good contrast, which is read with a fabulous sharpness and, after all, need not grow in resolution to deliver a very satisfying read.
may 2014 plans revolve around the variable resolution, perhaps focused on improving the experience with magazines and books graphically intense, but for now the Kindle Paperwhite remains focused on pure reading , perhaps because the space that other works is shifted to the tablet.
In any case, the improvements that Amazon also points to a new, more accurate touch pad, a new system of integrated light and say a new processor is 25% faster. With the experience of having used both – the former more months – and also having had to write the analysis in both cases I have to confess that I struggled much appreciate differences
Kindle Paperwhite remains outstanding ebook reader beyond check how much difference with its predecessor. The page turning – in the analysis of the original Paperwhite stopped a lot in this and other points – still instant and scoring touch experience, underline, write, search and buy, outstanding in the context of an eBook. In other words, there is no “lag”, no waiting in the use of new Paperwhite.
a point where I do think have improved the screen: the uniformity of light distribution . If this could be one aspect polka dots on Amazon reader, this is a thing of the past. Otherwise, Amazon backlit system still seems a rather solvent to not depend on external light sources and, in turn, have a good read even sunlight solution. In fact I have set the brightness to 14 (the system goes from 0 to 25) and I find it a very good experience in any environment.
Reading with the Kindle Paperwhite 2013
user interface noticable years Amazon experience. Configuring show you the estimated reading is encouraged you to follow that little more than the end makes you read more (and Amazon sell more, of course) and also improve increasingly more use of letters, underscores, and navigation through time books.
In fact my point readers tactile resistance remains the same. The physical buttons still offer advantages for use with one hand (go back and forth without confusion) but tactile experience to highlight, add notes or search the text is far superior . Fragments also sharing in social networks.
Here depends on the type of reader who we are and the works that will fill our reader free to evaluate whether to us ideally a touch reader as Paperwhite or rather saved the difference and opted for a non-touch device.
Finally, something that is constantly improved by Amazon is integrating search the device . Server has used the new Paperwhite to read this masterpiece is Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy , a book in which the terminology of border with Mexico American West You can reach in and overwhelm the search feature helped me greatly when identifying plants, animals, tribes and landscape elements. Not since lost about reading on paper, is that my experience with the software version was better in the ebook and there, again, the touch screen also added.
New Kindle Paperwhite 2013, the opinion of Engadget
No major improvements without breakers headlines Paperwhite Kindle remains the best ebook reader as this price 2013 .
more striking on the shelves, with more resolution, disk capacity and cheaper, but the value proposition that makes Amazon no one is able to bring to the table a reader with excellent user experience Paperwhite provides that, with the price adjusted and the entire catalog of his bookstore.
who already had the previous Kindle Paperwhite has no reason to renew, but for anyone considering buy or give away a book reader, this device must be among the first candidates if you want to hit.
In short, great reading experience, remarkable touch operation, getting better software for annotate, highlight, search, and share, and we will not forget, a range of weeks of use
