Amazon Kindle could expose users to the risk – Telix.pl

Benjamin Daniel Mussler, an analyst who studies security systems, said the tab “Manage content and device” and the service “Manage your Kindle” in the online library Amazon Kindle are vulnerable to cross-site scripting ( XSS). Gap in the service can be used by placing in the title ebook specially crafted trap-link, taking the form of “” and sufficient to carry out an attack on unconscious person.

 The good news for users is unlikely to find the eBook with a threshed title in the official Kindle store. The only real chance to experience fraud is to download pirated books and the use of suspect sources. When you make use of the Amazon “Send to Kindle”, infected files can be found on our reader.

 Benjamin Mussler believes that the gap in the software Amazon has been known for a long time. The first mention of it in its industry report in November 2003 – along with an eBook that retrieve and send more cookies. Technicians from Amazon managed to fix this vulnerability within 4 days.

Amazon Kindle Voyage: 6 Features to get excited about – TrustedReviews

It might be time for an e-reader upgrade …

After the Kindle Paperwhite, comes the Kindle Voyage. Amazon’s latest flagship e-reader was unveiled alongside a whole bundle of Kindle Fire tablets and was definitely the pick of the announcements.

Launching in the UK on November 4th, the Wi-Fi Voyage is priced at £ 169 while the model with built-in free 3G is unsurprisingly more expensive at £ 229.99.

It’s the priciest e-reader Amazon has launched but here’s why we think the Kindle fans could be persuaded to go for the Voyage when it lands.



Sharper text

Thought text on your Kindle Paperwhite looked as good as fine magazine print? Take a look at the Kindle Voyage’s screen and you’ll be forced to think again. Amazon has boosted the resolution Dramatically, to the point where it crams 300ppi (pixels per inch) into its 6-inch screen. By way of a comparison, both the Paperwhite and the Nook GlowLight manage 212ppi.

It even beats the previous standard bearer for text sharpness, the 265ppi Kobo Aura HD.



Brighter screen

The Kindle Voyage’s screen is not just sharper – it’s also much brighter than before. And we do not just mean That its front-lit display is physically brighter, though it is indeed 39 percent brighter then before, and with a superior contrast to boot.

It’s also brighter in the sense That it’s cleverer. There’s a new ambient light sensor adjusts the brightness That is the immediate According light conditions. This actually goes beyond quickly dimming in dark conditions, like your smartphone or tablet does. Rather, he dry occasions the Voyage’s screen will gradually dim to the Appropriate level, matching the rate at Which your eyes adjust this darkness.

Voyage

No more plastic

This is the first Amazon Kindle to come with a glass screen instead of a plastic one. It reflects the Voyage’s position as a distinctly premium e-reader, but there’s a practical reason too.

The screen now sits flush with the device’s bezels, Which has obvious aesthetic benefits, but it also Means That it’s more exposed to general wear and tear. By switching out of soft plastic for toughened glass, the Voyage’s display should survive the additional scuffs and scrapes That Will Inevitably come its way.

Of course, one of the biggest downsides with glass screens is their tendency is glint and reflect light – a Particular problems when much reading is done outside in the garden or on a beach.

Amazon has countered this by micro-etching of the screen so as a diffuse any light That hits it. Clever.



Thin and light

More than any tablet device, e-readers need to be comfortable to hold for long periods. The Amazon Kindle Voyage excels in this regard, too.

At just 7.6mm thick, it’s 1.5mm thinner
 than the Kindle Paperwhite, and 3mm thinner than the Nook GlowLight.
 As we’ve just’d mentioned, Amazon has helped Achieve this by making the glass display screens flush
 with the bezels.

At 181g, the Voyage is also a fair bit lighter than the 206g Paperwhite, though it’s 6g heavier than the Nook GlowLight.

Voyage thin

Buttonless design

Amazon has made a bold move and done away with its functional, tactile, yet somewhat inelegant and bulky page-flipping buttons.

In Their place, the Voyage has a clever system PagePress That hides pressure-sensitive sensors under the side bezels. A slightly squeeze, and the page will turn accordingly, accompanied by a subtle dose of haptic feedback (a little vibration).



Double the storage

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite only had 2GB of storage, Which is good for about 1,000 books. The Kindle Voyage Matches the Nook GlowLight with double that.

And more carting books around with us is what we’re here for, right?

Amazon’s Kindle Voyage Is Its Lightest E-Reader Ever – Mashable

Amazon’s long-term vision for digital e-readers is paper. Literally, a device That looks, feels and acts like paper, with the exception of it being a screen That can refresh and interact with the reader. Though That dream is years or decades away, the all-new Amazon Kindle Voyage small be the closest thing to it yet.

On Wednesday, the Seattle-based book-selling giant unveiled the ultra-light (6.3 ounces, an ounce lighter than the Kindle Paperwhite), pleasingly thin (7.6 mm) and ultra-bright and sharp Voyage Kindle E Ink-based e-reader, along with a slew of other tablet upgrades and innovation.

With its 300 pixel-per-inch (ppi) resolution, 6-inch, all-glass face and single-mold magnesium body, the $ 199 Kindle Voyage Represents the high end of Amazon’s e-reader experience . The face is all glass with a black border surrounding the monochromatic screen. On either side of the reader face are two thin lines. A gentle press anywhere along lines Those advances and turns back a page. Amazon even built in a very subtle bit of haptic feedback to let you know the thing is working. It was so subtle, though, that I could barely feel it. You can also advance pages via a swipe on the touch screen.

I had a couple of minutes to try the reading experience and did notice that the text was ultra-crisp. Amazon told us they micro-etched the glass screen to cut down on glare. Even during the brief hands-on, I noticed it did not reflect the bright lights they had set up in the photography area. The device also features ambient light sensors so it can auto-adjust the brightness of the over-the-screen lighting (which still emanates from an array of LEDs hidden just beyond the visible screen area.)

Amazon also revealed a low-end model, the $ 79 Kindle, Which looks like the Voyage’s ugly stepbrother. Where the Voyage is all clean lines and svelte profile, the Kindle is boxy and average looking (only 167 ppi). It does offer a touch interface, but it’s powered by infrared sensors around the screen edge instead of using an actual touch panel built into the screen. There’s no built-in reading light.

The more attractive the Kindle Paperwhite remains in the middle at $ 119 It does get a storage upgrade (4G, the same as the Voyage) and some software enhancements coming to all of the Kindle e-reader devices.

X-Ray tells you about the book’s characters and key terms will now include images and notable clips. The last Addition uses content analysis that derive key passages That can help you get up to speed on the book. So, if you put down a tome for a time and want to remind yourself what’s going on, you might zip Through these snippets. It also sounds like a great way for students to avoid actually reading books.

Amazon has also enhanced dictionary features within the readers. A new tool called Word Wise will show definitions over words as you’re reading. While it sounds like this could clutter up the reading experience, Amazon Showed us how you can use a slide that control the number of definitions you see or turn off altogether Word Wise. What we saw looked like very short, tiny, but readable definitions over the words. We’ll reserve judgment on Whether or not this is useful.

Amazon bought Goodreads social reading platform over a year ago and is further integrating the experience into all Kindle reading devices. It’s now easier it add your books to the Goodreads shelf and share your reading habits with friends. Amazon said the social platform now has 30 million members. We’d be curious to know how many of you are using it with any of the Amazon Kindle reading services.

The $ 199, 4G version of the Amazon Kindle Voyage and the new $ 79 Kindle both go on preorder on Wednesday at Amazon.com and ship in October.
