New Kindle Fire HD and 6 unmounted: iFixit bowl technology, rewards repairability – Macity

The new Kindle ebook reader with touch technology and the Fire tablet HD 6 disassembled by iFixit reveal components dated to contain the price. Good repairability of both models even though there are few replacement parts

The new ebook reader Kindle Fire HD 6 and integrate components dated to contain the price: it reveals the complete disassembly made by iFixit of which we insert some images in lime in this article. American experts in repairs of iOS devices and digital gadgets in general appreciate the modular design of the two new Amazon devices that make it easy to open and complete disassembly and, therefore, simplify the process of repair. For this reason both get a high score of repairability, equal to 8 out of 10, therefore very close to the maximum possible and superior to most of the tablet and the smartphone market today, highly integrated, and on which is more difficult to intervene. The high score for repairability, however, is likely to be frustrated by the lack of availability of spare parts in the market: this happened to previous models, you must wait to see if it will be repeated for these new versions.

Less flattering instead iFixit’s judgment on some of the integrated technologies: to hold the overall price Amazon took some components dated. Recall that in Italy the new Kindle with touch technology is proposed to only 59 euro, while the Fire tablet HD 6 is proposed to only 99 euro, in both cases only a fraction of the cost of similar devices of other brands. More in detail, iFixit rejects the autonomy of the ebook reader Kindle that despite being declared equal to 4 weeks of use on a single charge, is halved compared to the Kindle Paperwhite also equipped with backlit screen. As for the Amazon Fire HD 6 is criticized by the back camera only 2 megapixels, a resolution considered suitable for a smartphone of 2005 and now far below competitors.

It should be noted that it is the judgments that concern exclusively the hardware part and not the practical use by the end user. Macitynet has got to quickly try out new devices Amazon Fire HD, both Fire HD 6 that the model Fire HD 7, and the new Kindle ebook reader, taking into account the very low price, initial impressions are good: a short will also publish unboxing and impressions to use the tablet Amazon Fire HD 7.

The Washington Post will be free, but only on the new Kindle – pagina99

The famous American newspaper after the purchase by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is recovering. According to Bloomberg a free app is only available on the new Kindle Fire to increase the number of digital readers, but will remain in payment for other devices. For competition authorities could be a problem

Washington Post is one of the papers most famous in the world, as well as one of the best. But the crisis has also reached this giant publishing information, that between 2012 and 2013 saw profits fall by 55%. To reap the fortunes was the founder of Amazon, decided to save the historic decline from American newspaper focusing on the quality of the content. And to reach new readers, a man like Jeff Bezos has many tools available.

After having shelled out $ 250 million to buy the Washington Post , entered the capital, recruited 100 new journalists and appointed director Fred Ryan, a founder of the news website Politico, Bezos has something else in mind. A free app of the Washington Post will already be installed and available for free on the new Kindle Fire 8.9-inch, the popular e-reader and tablet from Amazon. For now it is a rumor, the appearance of Bloomberg Businessweek and not yet confirmed. But could fall fully into the Rainbow Project, designed to increase digital media players.

Given the success of the Kindle and news that may arrive in the field of hardware with new devices (like the Kindle Phone), the free app could bring a considerable number of readers to download digital editions of Washington Post and visit its website. Only obstacle? The protection of competition. There is already an app for iPhone, iPad and Android. It is downloadable for free, but provides for a monthly subscription fee from $ 14.99 to access all content.

Since the arrival of Bezos, readers have increased by 63% in a year, according to the New York Times , and the company’s philosophy has changed dramatically. “Journalists need to know that will be incurred – told the New York Times Marty Baron, executive director of the Washington Post – that their colleagues are not going to disappear and that can do their jobs without worrying about losing it. Optimism, like negativity can be contagious. ” That’s why those results, as would Bezos, are only the beginning.

David Carr, influential columnist for the New York Times has recognized a ‘ turnaround in the quality of the newspaper Bezos. “The newspaper once under siege – he wrote – is in the midst of a great race, returning to the kind of journalism that journalists (and readers) live.” To see if the competition authority will not hinder the infant Rainbow Project.

It is a picture that refutes the opinions in the network? Ni, because photographing the E-Ink is a company maintaining a constant light just enough to move the lighting of 20 cm in order to have anything effect.

Comparisons picky and speeches like these will make at launch of any eReader, but if there are models that put all agree (as Kindle Paperwhite 2013, and the new Kobo Aura H2O, real improvements of the above) others continue to talk to him for weeks. How to fix? With a match live. We will try to tell you about our Kindle Touch 2014 a next full review . In the meantime, let us know if you notice any other differences.
