Many operators e-reading are paying particular attention to the last born at Amazon , the new Kindle Voyage , trying to guess if, like the previous models, this one manages to establish itself as a point of reference for the increasingly wide area of ​​competitors.

The device is, in fact, characterized by a series of elements that differentiate it from its predecessors; in some cases this is true novelties, such as the front-light controlled by an ambient light sensor, other than a simple but very useful return to origins, such as the reappearance of buttons to turn the page on the sides of the device.

The new Kobo H2O , for example, despite being considered a good title between the top of the range, has a 6.8-inch screen with the same resolution but the lower density of 265 ppi.

The thrust on ‘ high resolution is not the only significant change made by the giant Seattle in the design of the Voyage . Starting from the observation that, by now, users have become accustomed to interact with smartphones and tablet Amazon has tried to make it more smooth and natural l ‘ implementation of actions on the screen .

All Kindle models had a previous display slightly grossed from the edge, a minimum altitude that But, in fact, limited the area of ​​action only to the screen, either as a starting point as the end point of the movement.

Amazon unveils Kindle Voyage, the ereader 300 ppi – EBOOKREADER Italy

Amazon has officially unveiled Kindle Voyage , the seventh generation of Kindle devices E Ink (eink) specifically dedicated to reading. Amazon has always improves your Kindle in order to enable the reader to focus only on the content, so forget when reading the device, its physical characteristics and technical equipments. And according to the efforts of Amazon and the technical American’s new Kindle Voyage goes further in this direction, because the main improvements involve the reading experience overall, thanks to an improved screen and an innovative (and ambitious) page change.

 The new Kindle Voyage

The new Kindle Voyage

proceed with order.
The Voyage uses a screen 6-inch E-Ink Paper , anti-glare, Touch front lighting and resolution of 300 ppi , the biggest ever owned a Kindle electronic ink (the 2nd generation Paperwhite boasts 212 ppi). Even higher resolution than the new Kobo Aura H2O which stops at 256 ppi, but only because it has a larger screen 6.8 inches (resolution of both devices is equal to 1140 × 1080 pixels). The Voyage of the screen is mounted flush with the frame as the tablet. The first e-reader with this design feature to be introduced to the market had been Kobo Aura.

 The screen is mounted flush with the frame (like the Kobo Aura)

The screen is mounted flush with the frame (like the Kobo Aura)

On the Kindle Voyage a Sensor (located on the top edge to the right) is able to automatically adjust the brightness of the screen according to the ambient light in a manner similar to what has been happening time on the tablet. In the case of prolonged reading in the dark or in dimly lit environments, however, it activates a mechanism that progressively reduces the brightness of the screen so as not to attack the eye which in the meantime has become accustomed to the dark condition of the environment.

The page change can be made by the two sensors on the sides of the screen

The page change can be made by the two sensors on the sides of the screen

new change page , which Amazon has dubbed PagePress , want to animate the electronic book: to advance the reading will be sufficient to press lightly on the sides of the frame of the screen and the Voyage in turn respond with a “feeling” ( feedback ) tactile. Pressure level and intensity of the response can be tailored to suit (and also imagine muted completely.)

Who is following us for some time know that we have always enjoyed mechanical changes page even on devices with touch screen because l ‘ reader’s attention remains on the book. How many have had the opportunity to use or are still using a Bookeen Cybook Odyssey or a Sony PRS-T2 (ie two devices good but outdated) will have appreciated the buttons on either side of the screen or on the lower frame useful for the page change.
PagePress years later refers precisely this idea and therefore can not make us happy. Probably many of you will be a factor on which to ponder the choice between the Kindle and other devices Voyage, in particular Kobo Aura H2O that today is the true antagonist of this new Amazon for technical equipment and price. For our part, we find that Amazon just presenting PagePress as a stylish news confirms – again – a clever marketing expert.

The technical equipment is completed by a storage space of 4 GB which is used to store a thousand books , WiFi connectivity (standard on the entire Kindle family) and optional 3G, a weight of 180 grams with a thickness of just 7.6 mm that make the Kindle Voyage less cumbersome than ever.

For the moment the Kindle Voyage in the United States is in delivery starting from October 21.
Price varies overseas from $ 199 for the WiFi version with advertising to the $ 289 WiFi + 3G without ads. The release in Europe sees Germany with delivery from November 4. The German price varies from 189 € for the version with WiFi advertising 249 euro WiFi + 3G without ads.

For Italy we wait a few weeks late, but there is no doubt that the Amazon will advance in stock for Christmas.

Voyage Kindle is selling like hotcakes, deliveries postponed to the end of November – HDblog (Blog)

Kindle Voyage divided eReader users. There are those who consider it expensive and unnecessary frills, and who was impressed by the design and innovations. A 189 EUR is certainly not an ebook reader for those approaching the ebook now, and surprised to see her delivery date already postponed due to strong demand.

Order now Amazon.com Kindle Voyage means to receive the November 24 , not October 21 as for reservations made close of his presentation. Amazon.de also made it known that it will comply with the delivery date of the European Union, namely the November 4 . Everything is silent on Amazon.it where the most evolved among readers Amazon is not yet present, while Amazon.co.uk is the only one that still seems to respect the initial arrival date (November 4).

Kindle Voyage reached in a few days the 3rd place of the Top100 from Amazon.de and Amazon.com, and is the 2nd in those Amazon.co.uk. Those who follow the industry eReader know that things often go this way. Last year, after the first distribution of October, it was really hard to find a Kindle Paperwhite in stock. Many people came to choose the alternative Kobo rather than wait for the January / February for the new Amazon.

And that Paperwhite 2013 was an update of the previous PW, not something really new as Voyage. Should we expect a distribution sipped so even now? Hard to say, but it is very likely that Amazon is looking for that particular state of the application that is created when the company first offers a product and then makes it almost impossible to have .

Amazon had expected and here it is: After updating its entry-level model Kindle, the American giant has launched a new series that is called Kindle Voyage . It is always a ebook-reader and will cost $ 199 in the United States, although it is not yet available in our market. The Amazon Kindle Voyage presents a display lit touch high-resolution integrated sensors on the sides of the frame. Their usefulness? These allow you to turn the page without even touching the screen. However, although the technology buffs will appreciate this ebook and found it, you can bet that many may find this solution is not as useful as the user might accidentally touch one of the sensors and turn, in this way, page without meaning to. Of course, first of all we need to understand what these buttons are touch sensitive and where it will be placed on the frame. For the moment, Amazon claims that the pressure can be adjusted . In addition, the device vibrates when you “turn” a page and the touch can be turned off.

Amazon Kindle Voyage is equipped with a E-Ink display card 6-inch with a resolution of 1440 x 1080 300 PPI and 16 levels of gray, 4GB of internal memory, Wi-Fi 802.11n and 3G download ebook for even when you do not have the free hotspot. The model with integrated 3G is available starting at $ 269. The Paperwhite is still available for sale at a price of $ 119 and is proposed as a model cheap compared to Voyage with its display subtle anti-scratch and with light sensor adaptive .

Compared to its predecessors, Kindle Voyage is brighter than the 39% as stated by Amazon: in the settings, however, you can always adjust the brightness manually or to rely on ‘ automatic setting. If you read for a certain period in the dark, screen brightness will gradually decrease since the dark eyes adjust to the environment. The size of the Amazon Kindle Voyage are as follows: 162 x 115 x 7.6 mm and a weight of 180 and 188 grams , respectively, for the base model and the one with 3G .

But it’s not Google, it’s Amazon. Nothing wrong with that, except that in addition to the Mountain View giant rivals Bezos begin to be numerous. Among the giants and start-ups. If Apple has a very specific focus, Amazon is famous for not having it.

In the past nine months, the former book seller (in the sense that now sells much more) has made three forays into the world of hardware with a TV streaming box, the smartphone and the mobile payment service. Then he launched the marketplace for local services, the subscription for unlimited e-books, the food delivery in a day and a streaming music service. Meanwhile, he also finds time to quarrel with the authors and publishers because of a too aggressive commercial policy.

The Amazon’s strategy is unknown. We focus on the long term, you give up the profits and bear the tight margins priorities such as the enlargement of the market and customer satisfaction. The competition is mangled shots of Low Price and also the partner companies suffer the consequences of this attitude. In this way, however, Bezos expects this year’s sales of $ 91 billion more than the top 12 online retailers put together. But in front of 810 million losses the title this year fell by 20%. In addition there are a number of start-ups such as Spring, Fancy and One Kings Lane who want to become more attractive buying process online, while WunWun offers a free delivery service within one hour for those who buy in the local shops. Instacart instead is a grocery delivery service where drivers drive cars they own, while orders received through a smartphone. And it is already more widespread than Amazon Fresch . Besides, Bill Gates has always said. “At this time in a garage is developing a start-up that will be dangerous for Microsoft.”

It renews the series of Amazon’s tablet with new models that from October enrich the Kindle family. Two options added to Fire Hd, a screen with 6 inch (15.24 cm), the other by 7 (17.8 cm). Both are presented with a clear display of more than a million pixels, a fast quad-core processor, front and rear cameras and Dolby Digital audio. Along with the operating system OS4 Fire ‘Sangria’, enhanced with new features, the company’s e-commerce offers access to more than 33 million songs, books, Android applications and games, and a free and unlimited storage space in the cloud for photos.

For the Fire Hd, already available for pre-order at € 99 for the model 6 and 139 euro for version 7, new accessories are also available, including a new case in six colors that can be positioned both horizontally and vertically, and a number of adapters that allow you to connect a TV to a Fire Hd Hd, to a monitor or a storage device via Hdmi cable, VGA or USB.

At the new low cost offered by Amazon adds the most powerful Fire HDX 8.9, quad-core processor with 2.5 GHz of last generation and a fast graphics engine of 70 percent. The screen at 339 ppi has a dynamic adjustment of the light that automatically changes the color of the screen to make the pages of eBooks more like paper in any lighting condition. This model is also available for pre-order starting from 379 euro.

Finally, the new e-reader Kindle reduces weight and size, but lengthens, with a battery that resists weeks. It has a faster processor by 20 percent, doubled storage space and touch interface. Among the new features there are Kindle FreeTime, which provides parents with a simple and engaging way to encourage children to read more, and Word Wise, which facilitates the understanding of the more complicated words to readers struggling with the English language. Like the previous generation, the price starts from 59 €.

Printing with you wherever and whenever you want.
