There are few products that truly revolutionize an industry. In this list we can put the classic Walkman, the iPod, the iPhone and iPad, but we can not forget the Amazon Kindle. Since its launch, around my birthday in 2007, everything has changed. We’ve gone to see people on the subway with their Kindle books to see everywhere. It is true that the model of digital book in this country is still in its infancy, by certain standards, but after the arrival of Amazon to our country, there are many deals that make us own one of these devices.
The E-Reader are basic in our society, and although many thought the new tablets would take the place of these devices, the reality is that coexist perfectly. The use of e-ink screens is a big difference that the tablets plus. To read it is certain that one of these screens less tired sight, and while no hybrid screens out both technologies, this market has ensured this.
The basis of the Kindle has always been clear, lightweight device with great autonomy that allows us to simply enjoy our books , its ecosystem is focused to it. When we do buy one of these devices even notice it, right out of the box and is our Kindle associated with the Amazon account and ready to use, especially if you purchase the 3G version.
The Kindle is the latest revolution Paperwhite Amazon, being the first to introduce a lighted screen in the market. The new generation of eReaders has come up with this version of the Kindle, which has already launches competition (Tagus, Kobo …).
Kindle ecosystem
Day by day, the ecosystem that Amazon has created for this device has evolved to become one of the most important parts of the product, and clear differentiator from other brands. Amazon is not intended to get much benefit with any of its products, the proof is aggressive prices. Actual performance is in its content, selling books from their store, and the revenue they generate to know their customers.
When you turn the Kindle for the first time, this you will already be customized for you, including your own, and buy books be as simple as choosing the desired content and give it to buy a whole set of children (which logically can be customized to avoid shocks).
If that was not enough, the content is almost always affordable, and we can find all kinds of deals for less than 5 €, all a joy.
But if I had to highlight one factor of the device would without hesitation its cross-platform capability, and we can be reading a book on Kindle, continue it on your iPad and finish on a phablet. Thanks to Amazon applications on all platforms, this is really easy to us.
Usability
The Kindle Paperwhite
are really simple, they offer what they advertise, and also do it with a vengeance. Switching between pages, as all e-ink devices (except Qualcomm Mirasol prototypes), it costs, it is still the fastest on the market, but still have room for improvement in this particular subject.
Introducing the interior light was a great idea, getting greatly please readers of bed, avoiding to include an additional lamp to improve the lighting conditions. The screen brightness is fully adjustable, perfectly adapted to all environments. The greatest virtue is its uniformity as it is illuminated with the same intensity at each point on the screen, a challenge they have achieved with intelligent light distribution .
The response of the touch screen continues to improve with each generation, we can not even resemble that tablets, largely due to the slow response time of display but navigation between different sections of the store, is far more comfortable than other generations.
Catch It is very comfortable, with its 6-inch diagonal , and 206 grams , it is light in the hand, not tired during long readings.
Regarding negative aspects, we do not like too much to eliminate, modeled Touch, side control buttons, which allowed us to move pages without touching the screen. It was a very fast progress in the book without using another hand control. We have not been able to reproduce the extreme duration advertised battery specification, but holds its 2 weeks with normal use.
Its 2 GB of storage is enough to include everything you need in the device, but we would like the format catalog is expanded, making it compatible for example with the epub extension.
Conclusion
Amazon, with each generation is exceeded. Not only are already the best ebook reader, but it is also the most competitive. If you served with the classic version without touch controls, we can buy it for 79 €, and this new edition, with backlit WiFi for only 129 € .
The device is fast, fluid, and capable. We can consider it as the best E-Reader of the moment thanks to its price, specifications and ecosystem.
As point to improve , without a doubt, the quality of materials , which remains at the end of the plastic out.
