the family devices Kindle are among the e-book reader more used in the world: the e-ink screens are a pleasure for the eyes and allow you to read books without straining your eyes. But it would be great to also read the articles of our favorite sites on the display of the Kindle?

Although not a common practice, it is possible if you use Pocket .

What is Pocket?

How to synchronize Pocket on Kindle articles

After the dutiful way, let’s get back to the point: how to post articles saved to Pocket to your Kindle? The process is quite simple, thanks to an excellent service called P2K .

P2K is precisely Pocket2Kindle : is a service that allows you to easily synchronize items stored on your ebook reader, periodically or with a single submission.

the first thing to do is go on the official website of P2K, click on the big button Start Here! and make log in with your Pocket account. At this point, the site may ask you to enter your personal email address: in the case, do it without any problems.

After you log in, you will have to choose whether to use the Standard plan or the premium: this course ‘ last has a large number of benefits, including the ‘ send instant of the articles (with Standard instead you’ll have to wait) the ability to select individual items to send (alternatively , you’ll have to settle for sending the last saved or random articles). Make your choice, keeping in mind that the premium membership costs $ 3 per month and, if necessary, you can switch to a premium even at a later time.

Differences between the Standard plan the plan premium

Once you have selected the plan, you will have to start planning the mailings: create and click the button Create Delivery to configure the synchronization of items with Kindle.

in the left column you can select the frequency of sending:

• daily Pocket send the articles to the Kindle every day (you can select the send time)
• Weekly Pocket send the articles to the Kindle every week (you can select the day and time of ‘ sending)
• one time send the articles to the Kindle Pocket only once

On the right, however, you can select which and how many items you want to send, choose from:

• more new items (a number between 1 and 20)
• the older items (a number between 1 and 20)
• some articles that can read so many minutes (between 15 and 120 minutes)
• random items (a number between 1 and 20)

Finally, the bottom slider enables you to store articles sent to your Kindle.

of course, there is a better choice than the others and depends a lot on how you use your Pocket and how often you want to read on the Kindle items: personally I use a lot Pocket but do not have much time to read during the week and I do feasting on weekends and in the evenings, so I chose to send me to send the latest 20 articles every Friday morning.

Another solution may be to send for a few articles at random each day and store them (so that the same will not occur) or choose the items to be sent depending on how long you want to go to read. In any case, keep in mind that with the Standard plan can take up to several hours before the items are sent, so it is best to program periodic mailings from one hoping to read something immediately using the One Time .

at this point, clicking on Start Delivery , you see a screen that shows you the next steps needed to P2K can deliver the articles on your Kindle. These are summarized below:

1. Open the page E content and Amazon

from the tab settings scroll down until you find E-mail List approved personal documents click Add a new e-mail address approved and add the address delivery@p2k.co

2. Still in the tab settings look for the E-mail settings target Kindle , copy the email associated with the Kindle, where you want to post articles and paste it in the item your Kindle delivery email address P2K
   
3. Click Start Delivering Now to schedule mailings.

All done! Now your articles saved to Pocket will be synchronized regularly on the Kindle and remember that you can change by sending tab Manage and control the sending of articles from the tab Status .

Enjoy!

One of them belongs to an unexpected category: that of electronic book readers. To achieve it was Amazon, which has branded its most advanced Oasis Kindle device. Here the American giant has put the best of its design and production capacity, creating a player from the nearest to the square, very light form (it weighs just over 130 grams) and with the presence, in spite of the touch screen, two physical buttons places on the frame to “turn” the page. On this side, thanks to the automatic rotation can either be right or the left, the edge is much wider, as well as the greater the thickness: a winning choice from the standpoint of ergonomics, since the Oasis can be easily supported with an even hand thanks to a perfect balance. The decision to propose the Oasis Kindle with a luxurious leather case included in the package makes the product also splendid visual and tactile point of view, making it unique in the readers’ views. The cover – available in black, burgundy or walnut – adds a little ‘weight, but also a second battery, which brings the total autonomy estimated two to six weeks of use. If in the first case,

VERDICT : Oasis Kindle eBook reader is the best in the world but it is expensive. It is the best choice for technology enthusiasts and reading who do not want compromise and are willing to pay the duty to have the latest technology

 

 

The new Amazon eBook reader is like a Lotus Elise. It is actually a small digital music player that concentrates the most advanced technologies, offers high performance and expensive. Technology enthusiasts have long known that, in our industry, small equals expensive. It is also the case of the new Kindle Oasis.

 
 
 
 

The first impact of this minute and winning player is from love at first sight . First note the cover of walnut-colored leather – available colors black and red – that looks aged and the center has given the Amazon logo. Then think about how small and compact. When you raise, you wonder for the low weight . Raising the cover of the device turns on automatically, as happens with some tablets and smartphones. The six-inch screen is surrounded by a frame reduced to a minimum , considering the current eBook readers standards.

 
 

Even the controls are minimal: a button to turn on and off which is seldom used, because just open and close the cover. And two configurable buttons to go to the next or previous page in the reading open book. Everything else is done using the touch screen. Finally there’s a Micro USB port that mounts on their Amazon Kindle since many do not even know what it was. Today I would have expected a USB C but actually for what we need to do (charging the device once a month or so, sometimes file transfer) is more than enough.

 
 

The weight is the most interesting part: The Oasis is a feather . Without housing weighs just over 130 grams. The case included, that many never rise up, instead get to 260 grams; that it is not just a few but the Kindle Oasis is still manageable.

 
 

The screen technology E Ink Paper is the same as already available for some time in the Kindle Voyage and recently in updating the Kindle Paperwhite. This is the latest evolution and is one of the best on the market, if not the best. The density of 300 PPI provides maximum sharpness and integrated light – to be adjusted manually – helps to read in any lighting condition. Simply put, with this ultra thin and lightweight player can read very well either under the blazing sun on the beach or in bed at night, before bed, without the need for artificial light.

 
 

The cover included is itself an evolution. In fact not only guards and protects the screen and most of the back of the player but is an additional battery that allows this small device autonomy almost double than the other Kindle. In my case I read quietly for a month, at least an hour a day before recharging it. The use of 3G or Wifi influence the autonomy; in my case I always keep the Oasis Kindle in “airplane mode” when I read.

 
 
 
 

We come to the sorrowful notes. Firstly the price, which starts from 289 € for the Wi-Fi only version and comes to EUR 349 ​​for the WiFi + 3G. The first is the recommended purchase for all (those willing to spend that kind of money); second only to those who travel the world and claims to synchronize their reading and purchase them anywhere without connection fees. I bought a book by the beach in Valencia and I enjoyed the experience but still board the cheapest model .

 
 

There is a cheaper version “with special offers” – or by advertising in the screen saver – as in the case of the base or the Kindle Paperwhite. A show that Amazon wants to place this product in high-end and dedicate it to those who want the latest technology and not look for compromises.

 
 

As for the compatible formats, as always, the Kindle read virtually everything except ePub . It is a closed-door policy that we do not approve of Tom’s and we hope that sooner or later change even if the chances are low. Who wants to read text that is available only in unprotected ePub will as usual convert them to mobi with software like the free Calibre.

 
                                   
 
 

Despite the high price still missing colors . The rest of the screen technology is the same as Kindle Voyage and even today the new and updated Kindle Paperwhite. The evolution of this Kindle Oasis is in the size, weight and battery life record. Those who want a great eBook reader can easily save money by buying a new Paperwhite or, if like me you want at all costs to the physical buttons for screen change, a Voyage. Those who do not have financial problems or do not want to compromise and wants the best eBook reader on the market, must focus on the Kindle Oasis.
