When it was new Kindle Oasis reaction of preparing me he was very impressed. Because instead of commenting on the subject, started a discussion of digital vs. paper books books. I naively thought that ended in a while ‘. All this made me come back down to earth. The truth is that the player Kindle , which matches many copies of each subway, train or half the public in the morning and go to work, is a special breed, not the norm population. I can imagine who reads a lot and uses the digital to reduce paper costs. At the same time, probably, you do not mind the paper books, indeed. It can also be someone who travels a lot and often, and did not want to carry around extra pounds library – I still remember with a smile when more than 10 years ago I came back with a suitcase full of books only – and especially did not want to get concussion supplementary to put in your suitcase the book you are reading.

Or remove it from hand luggage regulations. If you have the Kindle , you have all your books there. Efinita made. If you forget it at home, I read them on the phone, so they are synchronized to the last page.

I belong fully to the race of readers Kindle . I had the gray one with the keypad bought abroad, I regretted not having bought the model DX with the screen xl (we will) and a little ‘for work, a little’ out of necessity, I’ve got it tried them all. When I bought my first Kindle , it cost much more than the basic models now. But the matte screen with no light seemed the future. In fact, little has changed. The size, the touch, the backlight to achieve the “paperwhite” effect. But one thing is certain: if you never crossed my mind to buy a Kindle, it will not be the ‘ Oasis to change your mind. If you use it, you can consider the price an investment. Here’s why:

1. Battery . Have you read this here . Oasis live in synergy with its cover and this ensures an excellent longevity. Not having to load yet another device is a blessing. Especially since backlit models and 3g suck more battery than their ancestors. Choose well the cover. That faux aged brownish which came as sample, with its appeal “I wanted to-be-a-tomo-bound-in-leather-human”, well, let’s say that may not meet the tastes of all
2. dimensions . The most important thing for me. I consider the Kindle as paperback books. So they should Starmie in your pocket. More pockets they can get, the better. The Voyage, without housing, barely enters into your back pocket. In the morning, a Sunday, I carry at the bar and read while drinking a coffee. To carry it like that, I can not use a carrying case. My Voyage fact is dysfunctional. The Kindle Oasis you you can take it anywhere with the included carrying case. The size is perfect.
3. The screen. It is the same as the Voyage and the Paperwhite. Same size (6 “), the same resolution (300ppi), backlight. Nothing new. Compared to the size, it seems the best that you can hope for. Returning to the Right speech, above: because Amazon does not think of a new Kindle with “big screen” , in which comfortable reading when you are at home, for instance?
4. buttons. Let’s face it. Those Touch Voyage is a cosmic ciofeche. They are difficult to use and if you are not a graduate pianist often capitombolerai with your finger on the touch screen producing disasters. Those of this new model are solid, real, live up to those of the original Kindle, when even the anxiety of touch had not made its way into e-book reader of Jeff Bezos (I find it more awkward than useful, then definitely not so for all).
5. firmware . I used a sample model. I “sample” also the firmware, I guess. There has been some after restarting problem and when you reopen the Kindle after it has not been used for a few hours, you must “wake.” It takes me a while ‘. A small flaw, easy to fix. I hope that happens within about ten days, when I have to return the sample, because I am convinced that I have to give me the new Oasis.

Kindle Oasis costs too much? Amazon and others have other offers – Wired.it

The price of the new Kindle puts it out of reach for many potential buyers. But the move is deliberate: the other devices are all for sale

It is the day of the launch officer who Kindle Oasis , the last ebook reader on the market offered by Amazon, is doing discuss the digital reading fans on the Net. the reasons are two: an asymmetrical design and broken into two components is selling well, and a price that instead goes far beyond the common perception of as you may pay to an ebook reader.

the cost of Oasis in fact is very high ; Yet, as the house has had occasion to point out when we had first hand the gadget, we must consider that the Kindle is only the last The more ambitious proposal of a range which is still on the market full of all previous models. On the Amazon site in fact you can still find the version Touch (at 69 euro), the popular Paperwhite with illuminated screen and high resolution (129 euro), and the luxurious Voyage , with wire display, touch sensor buttons and built-in lighting (189 euro).

Although the competition is able to offer similar alternatives in virtually identical prices, but remaining Amazon in the house the speech is simple: the newest do not want to cannibalize the other ; quite simply try to offer something more from the point of view of design and ease of use. The real money of the rest coming from the sale of the books.

Put aside for a moment the price, though, other fans are lamenting the absence of Oasis a feature that the truth never came on Amazon home readers: the ‘ waterproofing , that instead the Kobo opponents have already implemented on their Aura H2O now more than a year ago. In this case, however, the possible solutions are only two: turn right at the competition (which offers its reader at a price of 179 €), or hope that impermeabilizzatori of WaterFi professionals realize a waterproof version of Oasis as they did in the past with Kindle Paperwhite .

Kindle Oasis: the tradeoff between paper and pixels – Italy Post

Many friends have told me about the good of the Kindle (and eBook reader in general) since I’ve been out on the market. Many of them have converted entirely, others continue to alternate between past and present. Nobody, however, has left the reader when tested.

Despite their enthusiasm, I have held up well against the temptation to buy one, staying true to the paper for years. Since, however, with #vorreiprendereiltreno are more immersed in disability, I discovered that a lot of kids with mobility problems using them, combining business with pleasure. The reason is almost predictable: a light, practical, is to hold both to have a high number of books without having to take or keep physically with them.

The new Kindle Oasis, however, can be a fair compromise between digital and paper: with a weight of just 131 g and a thickness of 3.4 mm the new digital book reader wants “to disappear in his hands,” and we’re good at, aiming for maximum portability and ergonomics (one side of the frame is more often just to be challenged at best, even handed users, moving the center of gravity towards the palm of the hand and leaving at your fingertips the only two main buttons).

his thin figure, then, was designed to withstand drops and shocks just like a paper book would (here’s her also cater for those with dexterity problems, perhaps having a firm grip I put).

as far as the technology and software sector, the key word is also in this case” simplicity “, a nod to the” veterans “of the book and the classicists. The interface is clean and simple, avoiding distractions and frills that a literary purist do not care in the least: readers will be free to focus solely and exclusively to the words, and may do so for the two weeks of battery life.

all with one by digital ink screen readable even at night thanks to the lighting that goes to what you read and not to the eyes, so as not to strain your eyes.

All this to say that even the technology that at first arouses suspicion, because it pushes us to want to change a habit or because leads us to detach ourselves from the bonds ” affective “and nostalgic, with time almost always manages to entice them, intercepting the average user needs and adapting to its market demand.

in short, for Christmas I already prepared the letter … You?
