After months of rumors comes the official confirmation: the new Amazon ereader is called Kindle Voyage . It has a completely new design and now follows the guidelines set by the range of tablets Kindle Fire. Looking at it from behind is easily confused with HDX Fire tablet.
It is much thinner, with a thickness of only 7.8 millimeters and weighing 180 grams . But the point is in the front, with the new electronic ink display. This is what is most important in an ebook reader. Amazon has improved the contrast and resolution of the Kindle Voyage, surpassing even the Kindle Paperwhite quality
The first match reviews. Voyage to finally read an ebook is almost like reading paper . And precisely this is the ideal to which all manufacturers aspire ereaders.
It also incorporates a new sensor that adjusts the display lighting according to the ambient light of where we meet. That perfectly and automatically adjusted to give the best playback quality, whether we are reading in bright sunlight or while moving underground. You can also manually adjust the lighting to suit your preferences. The lighting capacity is now 39% higher without the battery, which will be about six weeks will suffer.
Amazon has listened to miss the physical buttons in ereaders touchscreen. If we wish, we can turn the page by a slight pressure on the side. This new system is named for PagePress . It’s not a button, but it works with a sensor located on the sides. Another advantage of this gadget, and we are many who prefer to make this gesture instead of having to touch the screen as well avoid leaving marks on it. It changes the page using either of the two methods, so all users are satisfied
Now comes the downside. Prices. Amazon has accustomed us to breakers prices, but Kindle Voyage rome this tradition. The price in USA is $ 199 , but do not know the final price will in Spain. And the new Voyage comes to not replace the Kindle, but to position itself as a third option, becoming the erader “high end” of Amazon.
Is it worth picking a Voyage? The new screen does justify the investment. The system eletronic ink e-Ink Charter has a resolution of 300 pixels per inch compared to 212 Paperwhite. The display is protected by a sheet of Gorilla Glass with a special anti-glare treatment. The final effect is that we seem to be reading about a piece of paper instead of an electronic device.
The public has responded enthusiastically and have already exhausted all available units in reserve.
