Kindle Oasis: the tradeoff between paper and pixels
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?
