Amazon brings Alexa on a tablet, the Kindle from $ 80 – Wired.it

(Photo: Amazon)

There is a new hidden on the inside of the last tablet Kindle Fire HD 8 launched these days from Amazon: the voice assistant, Alexa, the group of Jeff Bezos, initially developed for its speakers to stay Echo and that, strangely enough, had not yet made her debut on the popular series of tablet cheap. Active initially only in the United States, the voice assistant will help users of the tablet to navigate the world of Amazon services and apps supported.

The specifications of the tablet for the rest as usual, do not dream, on the contrary, are designed to ensure to the product a working fluid and a little more. The display with a diagonal of 8 inches has a resolution of 1280 × 800 pixels and the operations are managed by a processor MediaTek quad-core processor accompanied by 1.5 GB of RAM. The internal memory of 16 GB or 32 GB is, fortunately, expandable while the operating system Fire OS includes interesting features such as the screening of blue light in the nighttime hours, and an app store with many free offers, and, as usual, is designed to provide users with direct access to the unique services Amazon (rather than Google).

the priority is the portfolios: Kindle Fire HD 8 will arrive in Italy starting from 109 euro.

The reasons for what Alexa does not yet support the Italian are probably two: on the one hand the algorithms that govern the actions in our language are still to be perfected; on the other, even the Amazon services supported by we are not yet all present.

The company could, however, have in mind a quick expansion in other countries, and use the tablet just to expand advance’s user base to Alexa. In any case, now that it landed on the tablet, the software will have to deal with the voice assistant of Google, but also with Siri and Cortana, respectively, to the edge of the products Apple and Microsoft.

Seen the great results, Amazon, has decided to join us again at Worldreader, with which in the past had collaborated on a project in Kenya.

The project has realised the dream of many leading e-book 61 the libraries of the nation, has reached about 500,000 people.

Amazon offers Kindle for the developing countries

Amazon Kindle Oasis: the leaked features

I’m afraid to take my beautiful (and expensive) Kindle Oasis on the beach – International Business Times Italia

Yesterday I went to sea. I’m not a big lover of the beach, the hot sun and the crowd, so I love to meet with various technological devices. Up to now I have brought with me the trusty Kindle Paperwhite to read, but lately, driven by the beautiful design, I switched to a brand Kindle Oasis staining bordeaux.

Beautiful and expensive: is the top of the range home Amazon and it costs 289 euros, practically it is the ebook reader most expensive on the market, even compared to the top range of the competition as Kobo, which recently presented the Aura One, but there are really dozens of solutions alternatives. I have decided to focus again on a device to Amazon for the ease of use, the endless catalogue (especially in English) and in general for the impeccable service.

Kindle Oasis Amazon

But what is the best Kindle Oasis to justify the 100 euro more than a Kindle Voyage that is also very good? First of all, Oasis has already its case magnetic leather, which hides an extra battery that really makes the difference, while for the Voyage you have to spend another 45 euro for the funzionalissima case Origami, which has the fact of being able to hold the device to “walk”through houses.

Oasis, however, boasts of a unique design, it is usable also by mancini thanks to the gyroscope inside, in addition to having two physical buttons, in addition to the usual touch, the turning of the pages. The handle is ergonomic and slim, and moves the center of gravity in the palm, so that the device rests on your hand as would the spine of a book. It is lighter, is smaller, it almost seems that “disappear” in the hands of the player: it only weighs 131 grams without a case, and often is 3.4 mm in its thinnest part. Ok, everything is beautiful, but I the books, as I think in many, I read them on the beach. And I’m afraid to bring this jewel in the jungle of the marina.

Kindle Oasis Candido Romano / IBTimes

This is because Kindle Oasis is not water-resistant, and this is a serious lack for an object that is so expensive. It does not resist the contact of water and dust (let alone sand), and not because this technology has not yet been applied to the ebook reader: the Kobo Aura One can be submerged up to two metres for 60 minutes, in addition to also having a larger screen. But that is not the end: the Kindle Oasis does not have the sensor for the adaptive brightness (in other words, we can only choose manually the screen must be lit): of course, requires more LEDS than the Voyage and the lighting is really good, but really no one has figured out why Amazon has waived the right to this feature is already present on a device lower-end.

The device is top of the range for reading the book. Yes, the one that has existed for hundreds of years: is mobile, do not download, it is resistant to dust, sand, and certainly not destroyed immediately if it comes in contact with a little water. And Amazon wants to reach this result with the line Kindle, adding of course the possibility of being able to carry hundreds of books without filling a suitcase. The ultimate objective would be to make the Kindle the more portable and accessible to anyone. Amazon has approached a lot with the Kindle Oasis, but has not reached perfection because of some shortcomings, given that the price could be plugged (and we have not spoken even of the absence of the headphone jack, and support to the audiobooks). The end user of Oasis, then pays a substantially new design, more than the technology, which basically has not advanced an inch with this device.

I’m afraid to take my beautiful (and expensive) Kindle Oasis on the beach – International Business Times Italia

Yesterday I went to sea. I’m not a big lover of the beach, the hot sun and the crowd, so I love to meet with various technological devices. Up to now I have brought with me the trusty Kindle Paperwhite to read, but lately, driven by the beautiful design, I switched to a brand Kindle Oasis staining bordeaux.

Beautiful and expensive: is the top of the range home Amazon and it costs 289 euros, practically it is the ebook reader most expensive on the market, even compared to the top range of the competition as Kobo, which recently presented the Aura One, but there are really dozens of solutions alternatives. I have decided to focus again on a device to Amazon for the ease of use, the endless catalogue (especially in English) and in general for the impeccable service.

Kindle Oasis Amazon

But what is the best Kindle Oasis to justify the 100 euro more than a Kindle Voyage that is also very good? First of all, Oasis has already its case magnetic leather, which hides an extra battery that really makes the difference, while for the Voyage you have to spend another 45 euro for the funzionalissima case Origami, which has the fact of being able to hold the device to “walk”through houses.

Oasis, however, boasts of a unique design, it is usable also by mancini thanks to the gyroscope inside, in addition to having two physical buttons, in addition to the usual touch, the turning of the pages. The handle is ergonomic and slim, and moves the center of gravity in the palm, so that the device rests on your hand as would the spine of a book. It is lighter, is smaller, it almost seems that “disappear” in the hands of the player: it only weighs 131 grams without a case, and often is 3.4 mm in its thinnest part. Ok, everything is beautiful, but I the books, as I think in many, I read them on the beach. And I’m afraid to bring this jewel in the jungle of the marina.

This is because Kindle Oasis is not water-resistant, and this is a serious lack for an object that is so expensive. It does not resist the contact of water and dust (let alone sand), and not because this technology has not yet been applied to the ebook reader: the Kobo Aura One can be submerged up to two metres for 60 minutes, in addition to also having a larger screen. But that is not the end: the Kindle Oasis does not have the sensor for the adaptive brightness (in other words, we can only choose manually the screen must be lit): of course, requires more LEDS than the Voyage and the lighting is really good, but really no one has figured out why Amazon has waived the right to this feature is already present on a device lower-end.

The device is top of the range for reading the book. Yes, the one that has existed for hundreds of years: is mobile, do not download, it is resistant to dust, sand, and certainly not destroyed immediately if it comes in contact with a little water. And Amazon wants to reach this result with the line Kindle, adding of course the possibility of being able to carry hundreds of books without filling a suitcase. The ultimate objective would be to make the Kindle the more portable and accessible to anyone. Amazon has approached a lot with the Kindle Oasis, but has not reached perfection because of some shortcomings, given that the price could be plugged (and we have not spoken even of the absence of the headphone jack, and support to the audiobooks). The end user of Oasis, then pays a substantially new design, more than the technology, which basically has not advanced an inch with this device.
