->

Amazon Kindle Voyage at the moment it seems really best e-book reader on the world market . Presented on September 18 on the American market – and still unavailable in Italy – is doing full of excellent grades in all major newsrooms.

Engadget, Ars Technica, The Verge and The New York Times today published their reviews and the only defect concerns the price : $ 199 for the version with wallper advertising or $ 219 for the one without campaigns. And you’re talking about the Wi-Fi model, because for what 3G can reach 269 dollars. In short, the exchange rate will not drop below 155 euro. Prices are those of a tablet to medium-low.

What makes it so special though? First of all the panel and paper-ink 6 inch has reached the pinnacle of technological maturity thanks to a density of 300 pixels per inch . In practice, though it continues to rely on a set of colors based on shades of gray has a resolution similar to smartphones and small tablets. In conjunction with front lighting system (improved), who, wishing to proceed with the automatic adjustment thanks to a sensor, offers a reading experience like never before. The page refresh is very fast , however, although not at the level of an ordinary LCD.

“The Voyage of the screen is absolutely phenomenal (I’m afraid that my pictures do not do justice) “, writes Chris Velazco Engadget . “The Voyage is the Chromebook Pixel Kindle e-readers. It has undeniably great hardware, the best in its class and by far superior to his older cousins, cheaper” , says Andrew Cunningham Ars Technica . “The best e-ink ever seen” , raises Chris Ziegler of The Verge.

A detail of the screen

“The Voyage of the display justifies the price. If you read often, you’ll want a high quality screen, and that’s what we appreciate in each reading” , concludes Farhad Manjoo on the NYT.

In short, the screen is not discussed, as well as the magnesium chassis which brings the device to weigh only 180 grams in the Wi-Fi version and 188 grams in the Wi-Fi / 3G.

Optimum yield even with comics

To say the least fantastic new side buttons that allow you to scroll pages . Of course you can also use the touch screen, but the slight vibration of these new haptic keys is nice as well as convenient. The direct competitor Aura HD is far more plasticky.

What can I say, we are anxious to try it. We hope that Amazon will face the surprise to all Italians, even at Christmas.
