The new Kindle is also for teaching
There are three product reviewed and updated: the “new” Kindle, yet smaller and lighter, and the tablet Fire HD , which is available with screen 6 “or 7″ and in five different colors.
The first, priced at € 59 , relies entirely on the battery more efficiently, the processor faster than 20% on storage space doubled and a ‘ touch interface revisited , which implements new features : Kindle FreeTime and Word Wise.
Beyond the pleasure in using and reading has always been strong points eReader Amazon, is this latter aspect which represents a small but important turning point.
In fact, the first feature, Kindle FreeTime , provides parents with a simple and engaging way of encouraging children to read more. In practice, just select the books to be read, assigning the “distinctive” to the achievement of reading goals. A practical report on the progress keeps parents updated on the time spent reading, the number of searched words, badge collection and, finally, the completed books.
The second, Word Wise , on the other hand allows the easy understanding of the more complicated words to readers struggling with the language English . Amazon has integrated short and simple pop-up definitions, allowing you to easily continue reading without having to stop to look up the meaning of words more complicated. Simply tap the tricky word to see a simple but complete board, with definitions, synonyms, and more. You can also change the amount of information displayed on the screen, boost or cut as it continues with the reading and learning. At the moment this feature is not yet implemented in a definitive way, but there will come a free upgrade in the fall (wirelessly).
Another feature that will come later (always fall 2014) is the new mode of Advanced Search , which makes it easier to find what you are looking previewing the results in both the library staff both in Kindle Store, in a single page.
For the new Kindle is available in a range of Cases magnetic dedicated, in six different colors.
Fire HD
If the new Kindle is the eReader for excellence, The Kindle Fire Kindle Fire HD HD 6 and 7 are as versatile tablet, designed for the whole family . Thanks to its compact size – especially for the model 6 “- they are easy to carry, offer a display with HD resolution, a quad-core processor , a solid construction, a pair of Front and rear cameras and a certified audio Dolby Digital Plus for the model with seven-inch screen.
Another gem, which is appreciated since the first outlet in hand with the good handling, is the operating system Fire OS4 Sangria , which offers new features and enhancements of the platform, in addition to the usual access to the endless archive of music, books, movies, games and applications, including those native to Android. There is even a storage space and unlimited free Amazon Cloud for all the shots from the Kindle HD.
Construction of the two Kindle HD cured, for both materials both for finishes, with the plastic that has bending almost imperceptible and an excellent level achieved for details. When you first use affects the screen HD, yet brighter and more detailed than the previous generation. Amazon has worked in both the number of pixels (density of 252 ppi and 216 respectively for the 6 “and 7″) and the liveliness and color fidelity, with deeper blacks and a more natural white. The screen also has a good treatment anti-glare , in addition to the now indispensable Gorilla Glass to increase the reliability and resistance to breakage.
The other important improvements concern the computing power and the photographic industry. Now the quad-core 1.5 GHz makes the user experience really smooth, delays in response are subtle and apps open instantly. The biggest gain, however, is in its graphics, so as to satisfy those who love spending time playing with the titles most demanding in terms of visual effects. For the game is the Fire HD 7 “excels, thanks to Dolby Digital Plus audio stereo certificate (while her brother 6″ is, unfortunately, only mono.)
Now the Kindle HD also has a Dual Camera efficient: it has been Enhanced the front more than the rear, so as to improve the performance and pleasure in making video calls.
It was not possible to verify the ‘ autonomy of the Kindle HD during this approach, in any case, Amazon promises an experience of use – reading, listening to music, watching video, browsing the Internet via Wi-Fi – for more than eight hours.
Instead it was possible to appreciate the new application WPS Office preinstalled, useful for those who use the tablet for personal productivity: it allows you to create, edit and view Office documents .
For Fire HD new accessories are also available, including a new housing in six colors can be positioned both horizontally and vertically, as well as a number of adapters that allow you to connect it to a HD TV , a monitor or a storage device via HDMI cable, VGA or USB.
