Kindle Paperwhite 3 (2015): the video preview of HDblog – HDblog (Blog)

Our review of the Kindle Paperwhite 3 (edition of June 2015) will arrive in the coming days. The model that we are trying not yet updated to the latest firmware Amazon, and this prevents us from seriously exploit the new formatting. But we have Bookerly , we have E-Ink panel Paper 300 PPI and matte finishes instead of glossy, and this is enough to bring out a video preview and start you see how it goes the last ebook reader from Amazon.

Kindle Paperwhite 3 will go on sale from June 30 to 129 Euros. It is the same price of the previous and it is the same list of Kobo Glo HD , identical to the screen and sharpness, different in touchscreen technology – IR and not capacitive. The Kobo eReader is also lighter and more compact Kindle Paperwhite 3 (180 vs 205 grams) but the latter is more solid, has a plastic semi rubberized not rough, and soon gives you a better feel in hand.

Two words on the system light . It is the same as above, is homogeneous as that of the old PW2, but the ruling is more bluish and memory seems the same one used on Kindle Voyage. There are light conditions that make the connection between the panel and the film responsible for the spread of light a surface milky white , almost unreal.

The new aesthetics more important than Paperwhite last year is the Kindle logo on the frame, now glossy black to contrast with the rest opaque, no more white shot. This is good news because we see less, does not distract at all. The new practice more significant, however, is the resolution of 1440 x 1080 pixels and the consequent damages density of 300 PPI. Kindle Paperwhite 2015 has the same panel Kindle Voyage, and this is definitely a compliment. The yield on the screen is extremely valuable for reading, makes it more comfortable, with the font outlines best and a sharpness higher than that of the printed paper.

The step is also important with respect to the previous generation 212 PPI (Kindle base has 167 PPI), the more so when active the new font Bookerly , suitable for reading digital, thin and elegant but capable of high contrast and a more modern typography. Indeed, more dedicated. For years, Amazon receives criticism for the lack of attention given to this aspect (and not talking about the number of options format ) and probably the best news is just to see that you have done something to improve it.

Bookerly and the new firmware (just what coming – on PW2 and Voyage) are able to adapt the Justification and spelling based on the size of the font, the margins, the line spacing, kerning, ligation and drop caps, resulting in a more elegant page, a disposal characters more homogeneous . And this results in a less eyestrain thus a more rapid. We will have to investigate and explore, but we can safely write that the new Kindle Paperwhite 3 worth the wait. We will be back.
