Tried the new “tablets” Amazon Kindle HD – ABC.es

The e-commerce giant renews its catalog with two new devices tablets, 6 and 7 inches, the value is very good

These two “tablets” Amazon Kinde Fire HD, with versions for 6 and 7 inches. A Simple glance seem low-cost devices, but once seen inside can tell they are made aware, with good materials, maybe a little thicker than others.

Both ‘ tablets’ have HD screen, quad-core processor incorporated MediaTek at a frequency of 1.5 Ghz , ensuring that they move very agiliad in processing resources. As a drawback, the camera, which only has 2 megapixels, but this device has great performance thanks to a layer on the Android system with Amazon services, as in other previous versions.

The reasons for these apparent bondadas and inconenientes is price. Both models offer versions lanes 8 and 16 GB capacity. The most affordable model, the 6-inch screen, can be purchased for 99 euros, which gives us some tablets whose value is very good.

We tested the Kindle Paperwhite and this is our analysis and opinion – All eReaders

How could it be otherwise, we have gone through this device to a competo analysis we will show below.

In addition we will give our opinion after using this Kindle Paperwhite for a few days as a reading device and husking points that we believe is in favor, and those who have against, although I advised we have not found too many points against.

Let’s start with its design and exterior

Browsing inside

As usual Amazon does not provide too many details about the interior of your devices so you do not know the exact processor riding this eReader, although if we can say that he is 25% faster than previous eBooks. Although it may seem unimportant feature is noticeable and a lot especially when turning the pages of any book.

Its internal memory is 2 GB 0 4 stocks depending on the device that Amazon has in the country of residence. Not too long ago launched the Kindle Paperwhite with 4GB storage, but this is not sold according to the company who runs Jeff Bezos unless the stocks are gone eReader with 2G storage. It is therefore possible that even though you want to have a Paperwhite with 4GB of storage you can not choose it.

• The price of which more later
• Possibilities that Amazon offers for page curls or consult certain terms in the RAE dictionary or Wikipedia

Negatives

Certainly is very difficult to find truly bad points to this Kindle Paperwhite , so what you will encounter here are small faults or defects which makes the device can be considered as lower quality, but we knew very badly to leave this blank list and that is why we could say that we’ve sought any defect becomes not hardly a negative.

• The weight of the device may be a bit excessive
• Like all Kindle does not support ePub , one of the most popular in the world of digital reading
• Amazon All devices are focused on acquiring multimedia content, and this is no less and maybe I can get to annoy someone having to see for example the books that Amazon recommends us in the home screen eReader

Sounding in my experience

After trying for 15 days and this Kindle Paperwhite considering that I could try many eReaders since I was lucky enough to work on this website, I can say that this is one of the best devices on the market and also a downright seductive price.

The rapidity load eBooks and passing the same page, the sharpness of the display, the integrated light and especially price are for me the strengths of this device and those who would not last a second in just buy it.

Kindle, the electronic reading pleasure – The New Journal

Super specialized. Only used to read books, but no one exceeds their field

lovers eReading know that there is no better device than the Kindle, if they want to assimilate their experience to the role of conventional books. Above any other factor, which differentiates between a reader of ‘ebooks’ and ‘tablet’ is the technology of the screen.

Unlike traditional LCD panels, electronic ink of ‘ereaders’ no direct backlight (Kindle Paperwhite has an ingenious system to distribute the light indirectly), avoiding eyestrain. It also offers impressive viewing angles that maintain a posture to read much more relaxed; consumption is very content (battery lasts for weeks) and as unaffected reflexes, can be used outdoors.

Benefits

Unlike electronic tablets, prices reaching $ 500, Kindle is in the market for one hundred dollars for the simplest, to $ 290 for the Kindle Fire HDX. Our recommendation is they Paperwhite Kindle, which has a cost of $ 160 Key features of Kindle White Paper are:

No reflections in bright sun. Unlike the screens of tablets and smartphones, which reflect light, Paperwhite Kindle reads like paper, no annoying glare even in bright sunlight. Easy on the eyes in the dark. Paperwhite leads the light toward the display surface through the front light.

Amazon Kindle (2014): analysis of CNET Amazon Kindle Fire 2014: everything … – CNET Spanish

Good, better, and best. That’s what you get when you see the line e readers Amazon. The e-reader you see here – the Kindle 2014 – represents the entry-level model “good” of this product line. It has a price of $ 79 in USA.

Like the higher-end reader, the Voyage ($ 199), this is a brand new Kindle (second generation Paperwhite is keeps taking the place of “best” for $ 119). But, unlike the Voyage, is not so renewed and exciting, despite having a touchscreen, something that was missing in the cheapest Kindle 2012.

In fact, it has a generic design . That said, it seems a bit better designed than others e-readers at this level that I used – weighs only 191 grams and has a thickness of 10.2mm – and there is something that seems to want to say with its design and style. “I’m bored, but you can count on me to do the work”

Your job is to store and provide electronic books (and other documents) on a screen that is easy to read in full sunlight. Amazon has increased the internal storage to 4GB in its readers (previously 2GB) and has never offered microSD card slot to expand storage. These 4GB is enough to store thousands of e-books, so in theory you should not need more. However, if you just like to read PDFs, this is probably not the e-reader for you.

Amazon has also unified all e-readers on a 1GHz processor, then the main specifications of all e-readers are almost identical except for the fact that the Voyage has 1GB of RAM, while the other half that have . That extra RAM helps the Voyage faster.

Also, you can buy and Paperwhite Voyage in Wi-Fi + 3G “free” for $ 60 and $ 7 respectively in EE’s. UU. This entry model has only Wi-Fi version. And as always, if you want to remove the “special offers” from your device to not have advertising on the lock screen, it will cost $ 20 more.

Sarah Tew / CNET

The unifying all specifications of Kindle – and having a touch screen on all devices – has allowed Amazon to offer the same experience in its Kindle line e-readers and reesctructurar updates. The experience across devices will be quite similar, but a key role to get with Paperwhite and Voyage is an integrated light. (Amazon sells a light fixture for the 2014 Kindle you can adjust the e-reader for $ 15).

These models also have capacitive touch screens have better response. 2014 The Kindle, meanwhile, has a touch screen-based infrared (IR sensors are built into the bezel.)

Analysis of the Kindle Fire HD 7 (2014) video – Teknofilo

Amazon announced in mid September renewing their Kindle Fire HD devices, tablets more company that sells affordable.

The new Kindle Fire HD are available at screen sizes 6 “and 7″ , and offer to correct a very competitive price performance. The new Kindle Fire HD 6 is sold from EUR 99.00 , and the new Kindle Fire HD 7 from £ 139.00 .

The screen resolution of these tablets is in both cases 1280 x 800 pixels , which means a pixel density of 252 ppi (Kindle Fire HD 6) or 216 dpi (Kindle Fire HD 8). It is not a very high density, but it’s enough to watch videos, read books and surf the internet without difficulty. The IPS panel has been improved and is now brighter than the previous version.

As for the processor incorporates quad core configuration in a 2-core 1.5 cores and 2 GHz to 1.2 GHz. The processor is manufactured by Mediatek, so the performance is below that offered by other high-end tablets that incorporate Qualcomm processors.

Incorporates 1 GB of RAM , the least I ask a Android device today. Although Amazon does not publish data on the battery capacity, we asked and the company has confirmed that the Kindle Fire HD 6 has a battery 3400 mAh and the Kindle Fire HD 7 3600 mAh.

has a Front camera VGA resolution photos and a rear 2MP camera , a fairly limited but sufficient to take an occasional photo resolution. As for storage, there are two versions for each tablet, with 8 or 16 GB of internal storage not expandable by micro-SD. All our photographs can be stored in the Amazon cloud for free without any limit.

The operating system for tablets is Fire OS 4 “Sangria” , an adaptation of Android 4.4 KitKat by Amazon. The company has incorporated some improvements over previous versions of OS as Fire parental control or the possibility of define profiles for different users , but in essence is very similar to what we have seen in other tablets of the brand.

The main drawback of Fire OS is, in our opinion, it is not possible to access the app store Google Play Store, but we are limited to the store Amazon applications. Although this store has thousands of apps, there are some notable absences, especially in the section of games and applications that are not very popular (at your town hall, university, association, etc..).

the sound aspect, the Kindle Fire tablets have HD Dolny Digital Sound and very pleasantly surprised us power your speakers.

In short, the new Kindle Fire HD tablets are an excellent choice for demanding users (eg, children) who want to surf the web, consume media, and use popular applications (eg social networks). More advanced users will miss more powerful hardware and access to Google services.

Then we leave a first contact of the Kindle Fire HD 7 we have made video. Later we will publish a comprehensive analysis of the tablet.
