The team at iFixit has already managed to make the teardown of the Kindle Voyage found that take it apart piece by piece is not too difficult . The rating of repairability assigned to the new e-book reader is 7 out of 10: Some of the modular components can be easily replaced when there are other pieces – like the panel – much more difficult to change and repair.

The new digital book reader weblog Amazon offers a particularly pleasant reading experience at a price of $ 290, higher than the competing devices, but justified by the components “luxury” that characterize . According to iFixit, is complicated to remove the e-ink panel Voyage of the Kindle, because it is fragile, thin, maintained to the device with adhesive and bonded to the glass that protects it. Replace and repair it is therefore quite difficult. The same you will have problems with the battery (1320 mAh), since Amazon has used too much adhesive to secure it.

Reach out and remove the other internal components is much simpler. For example, to remove the rear panel just remove the plastic insert glossy top and unscrew 4 screws; most of the chip are blocked on the frame with its simple screws. According to iFixit, it does not take long to get to the heart of the system, so it’s pretty easy to reach.

We learn that one of the most prominent of the Kindle Voyage is related to the ambient light sensor , able to automatically adjust the brightness of the display according to the context in which we find ourselves.
