Amazon Kindle 2016: Analysis – CNET in Spanish

The most affordable version of e-reader Amazon Kindle (US $ 80) has received a little hand cat 2016. The new version is 11 percent slimmer, 16 percent lighter, has more rounded corners and comes in both white and black.

the design changes do not appear to be older, but every time he can be a few grams more remove a e-reader see the difference. With a weight of 5.7 ounces or 161 grams, the most recent Kindle entry version is actually the second e-reader lighter Amazon, being a little heavier than the Amazon Kindle Oasis .

it feels light in the hand, and it is noteworthy that both the housing and the edges are made of a hard, smooth plastic and maintains that simple and basic, which makes it a bit slippery. Optional protective covers are available, including a covered well designed Amazon, which despite having a good shape is a bit expensive with a price of US $ 30 (it is, however, thinner and lighter than covered above).

A key feature that is missing is an integrated light found in the Paperwhite, Voyage and Oasis models. In addition, these devices have higher resolution displays; the screen of this Kindle version entry is not as sharp (167 ppi compared to 300 ppi of its more expensive siblings).

However, this Kindle has a touch screen (unlike the basic models who left before 2014) and is equipped with 4GB of storage, which allows you to store thousands of e-books. Amazon also seems to have doubled the amount of RAM, to increase to 512MB. I did not notice any difference in performance, however.

is also thinner.

a new feature is the Bluetooth audio, which allows readers to visually impaired audio listening VoiceView, an automated reading of what is on the page, as well as notifications navigation via wireless or speaker headphones. the configuration is somewhat complicated, but I got it to work after a few attempts. you can not listen to music or Audible audio book, but it is good to have this feature back, even if the voice is that of a robot (the female voice is pleasant, but not as delicate and smooth as Alexa)
