Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2014): first details - Italian Notebook

Unlike tablets and smartphones, ebook-reader are updated less frequently, so the number of devices on the market is relatively small and their price remains stable over several years. While the mobile terminals and ultra remain “latest generation” for about 6 months, ebook readers can boast a life span of at least 12 months before being replaced by the more powerful models, faster and with new technologies.

But it seems that the producers want to reverse this trend, turning out new ebook readers each semester. The latest ebook-reader “enlightened” Kindle Paperwhite sold only by Amazon could in fact be soon joined and then replaced by a new release. According to our colleagues at TechCrunch, who had the opportuneness of trialling a prototype almost definitive called “Ice Wine” , the main change will be given on the screen that will reach a density of 300 PPI , thus overcoming the Kobo Aura HD (264 PPI) and the Kindle (212 PPI).

Amazon could also review the design of his ebook-reader, adapting it to the last Kindle Fire . Expect then a more squared design, with sharp angles and shapes unique, but also a frameless display (no frame). He speaks also of the new function of touch feedback (vibration then touch ) when changing page forward or backward, nothing exceptional considering that the competition already integrates these technologies. The company has also created a new font , suitable for long reading sessions, and a screen of opaque glass on the display e-Ink .

The launch was scheduled for the second quarter of 2014 , then by June. If you are interested in the initial considerations and impressions on the Kindle Paperwhite (2014), you should read the deepening of TechCrunch.
