Another Kindle Paperwhite is primarily to provide a noticeably sharper display with a pixel density of 300 ppi ratio . For comparison, the current e-reader Amazon has 212 pp, and Kobo Aura HD 265 ppi. It should however be borne in mind that the production of almost all the panels for this type of equipment involved in E Ink, so you can expect this type of screens also in the products of other companies.

New Paperwhite to be lighter and also in terms of design resemble the Kindle Fire tablet HDX – with beveled edges, the Power button on the rear panel and frosted glass screen. When placed side edges while the buttons to change pages that will not be the traditional push and react to the vibration of the compression. What’s more, Amazon is working on new fonts that are to be adjusted to a higher screen resolution.

Kindle Fire HDX: Great bang for the buck - if you heart Amazon - NBCNews.com

Amazon’s Kindle Fire HDX comes in 7-inch and 8.9-inch models.

On Thursday, Amazon Began shipping the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HDX. On paper, and in person, the thing is impressive. It’s as thin as an iPad, Air, and unlike its Predecessors (and its 7-inch sibling), it comes with two cameras, one on the front and one on the back. Anytime you save money on electronics, there’s a chance you’re losing features, but even at $ 379 – $ 120 less than Apple’s newest flagship tablet – the big HDX has a lot going for it.

The screen is key: Though it diagonally measures nearly an inch smaller than the iPad Air’s, its “widescreen” aspect ratio That means it’s longer and thinner, Which is good for movies. In fact, movies on the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HDX are the same exact size as movies on the $ 499 9.7-inch iPad Air, so if you watch movies Mainly, there’s no size advantage for the bigger, costlier iPad. Movies look terrific on both, with smooth action and uniform brightness and color at any reasonable viewing angle.

Wilson Rothman / NBC News

The Origami cover, sold separately, seems neat, because it folds up into a sturdy stand. However, it’s so bulky it quickly Becomes a detriment.

Another benefit is the screen pixel density. Both the Kindle Fire and the iPad HDX Air are what Apple calls “Retina” screens – the pixels are so small you can not really see them. But the Kindle’s pixels are significantly smaller than the iPad Air’s – 339 pixels per inch versus 264 ppi. The result small not matter when viewing a video, but it is noticeable when looking at black-and-white text. Reading is where the HDX beats the iPad Air, and not just because of the pixel density: There’s a slight weight advantage – 13.2 ounces vs. 16 ounces – and the battery on the HDX will run a long time when reading is the primary function.

That’s not to say that the HDX has better battery life. In fact, in the most brutal testing, watching high-definition action movies streamed over Wi-Fi, Kindle Fire HDX neither could outlast its Apple-made competitor, Which best it tended to be at least an hour. If you consume a lot of media on tablets, you will not hate the battery life on either HDX, but you will not brag about it either.

The main feature that’s unique to the larger Kindle Fire HDX is the back-facing camera. (The $ 229 7-inch just has a front-facing cam for video chat.) Since it’s an 8-megapixel camera, you might think it takes better pictures than the iPad Air’s 5-megapixel camera. In truth, it’s a trade-off: I see better sharpness and lower noise on the HDX camera, but see better color reproduction from the iPad, not to mention hints of sly Software Magic That cover up the fact That the iPad image is lower in resolution. Which photos do I like better? The iPad’s – but hey, what are you doing taking pictures with a big old tablet anyway?

Wilson Rothman / NBC News

The larger $ 379 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HDX can match or beat the $ 499 iPad Air in some respects, Including taking pictures and enjoying books and movies – Amazon books and movies, that is.

The strangest Kindle Fire HDX disappointment for me is the Origami case (sold separately for $ 50 to $ 65). Amazon made a big deal out of this at launch, and it is neat how it folds into a sturdy stand. But using it doubles the thickness of the tablet, and makes it a lot heavier, too. And while the case has a fun gimmick – push the tablet up with your thumbs to expose the camera, and photo app launches – it’s just makes the whole package even more awkward. Besides, when you slide the tablet back down, the screen does not return to your previous app.

Another issue I had was ergonomics. The power and volume buttons are on the back on both the 7-inch and 8.9-inch HDX And ??that makes for some real awkwardness, especially when I’m in vertical mode – basically anytime I’m reading. Maybe I need to train myself to close the cover instead of pushing the power button, but I’m the kind of guy who pushes the “Door Close” button in elevators, so until I mellow out, Amazon Should make its buttons more intuitively accessible.

(Note: I have not been able to test a key feature HDX Kindle Fire, the second-screen experience, which lets you control movies playing on your TV. As yet, it is not available on any devices, but Amazon says it will soon be ready on the PlayStation 3 and some Samsung Smart TVs, with support for the Xbox and other devices Following.)

Wilson Rothman / NBC News

The larger 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HDX has a back-facing 8-megapixel camera That engages automatically when you slide the tablet upwards in its case. (The 7-inch HDX does not have a back-facing camera.)

As I’ve said in the past, the decision to buy a Kindle tablet is a decision to center your experience around books and movies, with the occasional game and a bit of e-mail and Web browsing. Amazon, Which runs on a modified Android operating system, did build in new Exchange support, and I was able to test out corporate emails – but you’d never choose this over other devices for managing your life. Not when an iPad does a much better job.

For that matter, there’s still no touching the iPad’s app catalog when it comes to both diversity and performance – That many apps exist on both operating systems run better on iOS, and only very recent changes to Android That will help close gap. And that does not even count the core apps That Including Apple’s now with every iOS device: iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband, Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

While the HDX – either the 7-incher or the 8.9-incher – may be no match for the similarly sized iPad, its lower cost and much-improved user experience does make it an irresistible second tablet.

If you love Amazon, that is.

The retailer has not released the user numbers on its $ 79-per-year Prime service, but Prime is really a prerequisite for owning a Kindle tablet because of its high-quality video stream of unlimited. It’s feasible to conceive of someone spending $ 229 or even $ 379 on a Kindle-branded tablet without the intention of using it with the Kindle books and Amazon video-on-demand, but I doubt there are very many people like that. Even the HDX’s delightful Mayday button – Which brings up a live customer support staffer who can troubleshoot issues quickly, and even guide you through the tablet interface – is not so much spreading the gospel of the Amazon but preaching to the already-converted.

See which tablet has the best display! - Computer World (press release)

DisplayMate Technologies is one of the global authorities when it comes to calibrate displays, and defining standards for the actual testing – not only the consumer anyway. Hence, it is worth paying attention to released from time to time by the company statement, in which the screens are compared to the current generation of devices.

recent laboratory tests conducted by experts of three tablets equipped as is commonly believed, the best displays on the market.

So we have

Nexus 10 from Google – device manufactured by Samsung. It was the first tablet with a qHD (10.1-inch, 2560 x 1600 pixels). The market peaked at the end of last year and even though the hardware is no longer knocks today, still in the category of displays located in close TOPCEM.

Another device in the statement of the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, presented September 25, 2013. The sale will be November 7. As the flagship tablet the Kindle family. Under the hood it has a powerful quad-core Snapdragon system 800 The screen size of 8.9 inches at the same qHD resolution as larger Nexus 10

Finally, the statement

DisplayMate could not miss the latest iPad Air (5th generation). Tablet for sale is available from November 1. Thinner and more powerful than its predecessor, still based on the Retina display 9.7-inch diagonal and a resolution of 2048 x 1535 pixels. Despite appearances, this is not, as noted by DisplayMate screen the same as in the fourth generation iPad. Apple reached because the IPS matrix based on IGZO technology. The result is improved contrast, and most of all – a lot more energy efficient.

In conclusion, we can read that each of the three tablets offers very high image quality. However, DisplayMate test leader when it comes to specifications and parameters of the display, the Kindle Fire is now HDX 8.9. Experts point out that used in the screen is arguably the best display ever tabletowym landed in their laboratory. Retina of the iPad Air has great performance, but the Kindle HDX offers higher brightness, better color reproduction and less reflective (better visibility in sunlight).

As a result, the Kindle has received the highest rating, the sensational (Excellent A). iPad Air was rated as very good (Very Good A-), and the Nexus One as good (Good B).

following short list of devices in the form of selective table. Complete comparison screens in three tablets can be found on the DisplayMate.
