Voyage and Paperwhite: the Kindle – La Gazzetta dello Sport – La Gazzetta dello Sport

Paperwhite, was the first e-reader with integrated backlighting is the third version

A “contraption “electronics that reads like a book, with the same satisfaction with the user experience as similar as possible to that of the paper. It is the determination of types of Amazon that, at this point, have almost succeeded. For an overlap of logical and commercial choices are difficult to understand to the viewer from the outside, on the Italian market have come together the last two Kindle, the e-reader of the house of Jeff Bezos. One is the Voyage , a sort of Formula One of the books, actually released on the US market at the end of last year. The other is the third generation of the Kindle Paperwhite , the first of the Amazon readers with integrated backlighting, freshly baked even overseas. The two objects appear very similar in design and are united by many things, from the microUSB socket, in the presence of a single button on the chassis for different functions and above all from the screen of six inches with a resolution of 300 ppi, practically equal to that of the paper printed that for the second, however, represent twice the amount of pixels than the previous generation.

Voyage, weighs just 180 grams and has a thickness of 7.6 mm

adapts to the light – There are many features that justify the price difference: the Voyage 199.99 euro, 129.99 the Paperwhite, but for both version only wi-fi. We try to list only the main ones. The Voyage is very light and very thin, weighs just 180 grams (less than twenty of his brother) and has a thickness of 7.6 mm. The coating, then, is a magnesium alloy and the front glass is perfectly flush with the edge and scratch resistant. The Voyage has a integrated light to automatic that makes the real difference and to adapt the reading environment. Is present, finally, a new function: the “page turn” that thanks to two pressure sensors on the sides of the frame gives way to advance in reading with a light hand pressure. The Paperwhite has also of the new screen (and therefore of excellent resolution), but the display is lowered with respect to the edge and overall appearance remains more “normal”. From her at the time, the Paperwhite has the presence of the new font Bookerly, created to make reading more relaxed, but that is going to be released with an update for the Voyage. The battery lasts up to a month, and in four hours is recharged to 100%, for both are the usual problems with the conversion of PDF and is available in both a free version with 3G (249.99 and € 189.99 respectively). Hard to say which one is better to buy: it depends on your finances. But certainly, with the basic version and cheap, there is a Kindle for all budgets.

“first day” – I wonder what Amazon, then, decides to enter his e-reader among the items purchased in the “Prime Day “at super discounted prices. On 15 July, in fact, to celebrate its two decades, the giant e-commerce promises real business subscribers (new and old) to the service which provides free delivery within two days from the order. We are not yet to the cherished deliveries with drones, but we can not be satisfied.
