Your family and your wallet will love the Kindle Family Library – Spider’s Web

Amazon constantly develops software written for their epapierowych Kindle readers. Another of the update finally brings the opportunity to share your library of books with other members of the household without any problems.

Readers of e-books today is a very personal device. With a Kindle, you can indeed use a lot of people, but you’ll lose the benefits of synchronization progress in reading, writing their own bookmarks and notes.

Amazon has not decided yet on the addition of user profiles, but at least enables the sharing of library e-books purchased from loved ones.

Just as the reader is a personal device, so it looks like the case with library titles purchased from Amazon. In contrast to e-books bought in leading Polish bookstores for books on the Kindle are protected by DRM.

This means that you can not simply move them to your partner or child in a convenient way, eg. Using a USB cable. From now on, however, will be able to make simple books purchased by them to other inmates.

About the Amazon plans to introduce the system of sharing e-books we wrote in September.

The service was announced earlier, and now finally appeared as part of a software update. The new service called Kindle Family Library, and works similarly to the shared application libraries, music and video in iOS.

To use it with the Kindle Family Library enough in setting new models of Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite Voyage (looks that unfortunately off the second generation), log on to another account. eBooks from both accounts will be available for reading on the device.

In addition to this new update introduces readers to the latest Kindle a few other changes.

Among the new features in the Kindle readers who went to the newest readers offered by the manufacturer, there were Word Wise, that automatically displays the definition of difficult words to support the solution of e-books.

Another new feature is the Kindle FreeTime Unlimited, which is costing from $ 3 up service for the youngest members of the family. Thanks to Amazon for the kids he will provide regular set of selected books.

In addition to this, a new version of X-ray, or additional information about the plot and the characters books to books purchased from Amazon. Introduced a better integration with social networking site Goodreads, and view the new tab book gives more of relevant information.

Now I’m just waiting until the update hits on my reader Paperwhite first generation, and I hope that Amazon will not leave their elderly clients experience on the ice.

The Excellent Kindle Paperwhite Is $ 79 Today – Yahoo Tech

I’ve been using the Kindle Paperwhite, Amazon’s first e-reader with a screen That can be brightened and darkened, for a little over a year now.

If you’re looking for a light, inexpensive device with an impressive screen That will let you read books in the dark and in direct sunlight, the Paperwhite will not let you down.

Today only – that would be Monday, just in case you needed a reminder That it is [UGH] Monday – Amazon is selling the Paperwhite refurbished for $ 79. Usually, the Paperwhite costs $ 119. The regular Kindle Which has a lower-resolution screen That can not light up, is $ 79 tweaks.

This is a very, very good deal.

There are a few caveats here. First, you’re not buying a brand new Paperwhite: These are refurbished models, Which Means That someone has owned and used the Paperwhite before you. Lifehacker points out, however, that the refurbished Paperwhites to come with the same warranty and customer service guarantee you would get with the full-priced version.

Also, this is for the Wi-Fi only version. So before you go to the beach, you’ll have to download your books on your home network.

Third, the Kindle Paperwhite is no longer Amazon’s Highest-end model. It just released a $ 200 device called the Kindle Voyage, Which reviewers should seem to agree is the best e-reader ever made. (I would still vouch for the Kindle Paperwhite as a totally capable e-reader That will not let you down.)

Finally, there are various Concerns That Amazon, the company That makes the Paperwhite, might be an evil mega-monopoly bent on world domination. My colleague Rob Walker has more on Whether You should boycott Amazon, or Whether it’s OK to continue indulging in its low, low prices.

If you’re OK with All Those caveats, and you’re in the market for a new e-reader, the $ 79 Kindle Paperwhite is a nice value. Lots of other people think so, too: The tablet is already scheduled to ship in three to five weeks, Which is a decade to Amazon’s speedy standards.

You can order the $ 79 Paperwhite here – if, you know, you’ve Decided That Amazon is not evil.

Hands on: Amazon Kindle eReader Review (2014) and First Impressions – TrustedReviews

Amazon Kindle eReader: First Impressions

With the Kindle Voyage covering the top-end and the Kindle Paperwhite now Amazon’s mid-range eReader, the Kindle is the basic entry-level option minus the frills. You do not get the built-in light or sharper display, but for now you get a touchscreen, access to the core Kindle features and new, more portable design.

It has the same footprint as the Voyage, but lacks the same finesse or Attractiveness. The back does not use the same angular design of opting for a charcoal gray matte plastic body the where the back slopes inwards slightly and it definitely copes much better with greasy fingerprints Those. You can still comfortably get one hand around it and weighing in at 191g it’s slightly heavier than the Voyage, but not in way the where you would really notice.

At the bottom edge is the where you’ll find the micro USB charging port alongside the solitary standby button. The bezel on the front is thicker at the bottom, but other than That this is as plain an eReader you are going to find. For £ 59, you can not really complain, though. It’s portable and the build quality is solid enough for something you want to sling into your hand luggage or keep in your pocket.

Despite having the same size screen as the Voyage and the Paperwhite, sadly it does not use the same innovative display technology. The basic Kindle still relies on the older Pearl e-paper technology, Which Delivers 167 pixels per inch (ppi) pixel density – considerably less than the 300ppi of the top-end Kindle crams in.

While the older screen tech Means you have tolerate the page refreshes common with e-ink displays, it’s still a solid display to read it and Reduced Page ghosting has compared it its predecessor. You will not get the same levels of sharpness compared to a Carta display or brightness thanks to the lack of a built-in light, but at least you do now get support for touchscreen navigation, Which in our brief time with it Appeared to be nice and responsive.

Initial Verdict

If you are not all that bothered about reading at night and can live without the sharper display, the entry-level Kindle still holds up well and is a solid dedicated reading device. It’s portable, has access is arguably the most comprehensive store fronts and the screen still holds up well as a place to tuck into your favorite ebooks.

Yes, you do miss out on some of the more attractive features of the New
 more expensive Kindles, but the core experience is still strong. There’s
  built-in Wi-Fi connectivity so you do not have to hook it up to a
 computer to download content, and the four-week battery life and there’s the
 4GB matching the pricier Kindles for space to save your ebooks.

The Kobo Touch (£ 59) is its closest rival and there’s very little to separate the two. They have very similar designs and both have plenty of storage. If you want that all-important ePub file support, you will probably side with the Touch, but other than That the Kindle looks set to be the pick of the bunch ereader budget once again.

Kindle Voyage – e-book reader worth the money – PC World

 

Kindle Voyage is the name of the latest e-book reader offered by Amazon. A giant in the world of e-commerce virtually dominated the market for electronic books, and for a few years, prices of devices in this category fell regularly. Jeff Bezos company preferred to provide the device at cost or with only a minimal profit, and then monetize digital content, which users buy Kindle family of devices, which include today readers, tablet, smartphone and snap to the TV.

New reader to offer a departure from previous strategy

The previous top model called Paperwhite is still available for sale, but joined by a new, even better but also more expensive Kindle Voyage. It is presented in the last month the device much different from the two previous generations Paperwhite.

Unfortunately, the components of the high-end and powerful as to reader specification makes the Kindle Voyage is a product for those more affluent e-readers. Among the innovations in the Kindle Voyage first thing that strikes the eye is the screen, which is the most important part of the e-book reader.

Amazon decided on the display so. epapieru

This type of screen imitating the deceptively plain paper. The Kindle uses Voyage display a very high density of pixels. In the new model, it amounts to 300 PPI (pixel per inch, pixels per inch) at the same screen size (6-inch diagonal, 4: 3 ratio), which Paperwhite. The previous model had to deal with 221 PPI. Rendered page consist of more stringent letters, and the difference between the paper and the Epaper almost obliterated.

The screen on this detail makes the individual pixels are virtually invisible without a magnifying glass. This results in smooth edges of the letters that are not torn, as is often the case in cheaper e-book readers with a lower shelf. The reader, in which the screen looks like paper has advantages over a paper book. One of them is to increase the letters in the book, which recognize people who have vision problems

The second option is the backlit screen

The screen reader Kindle Paperwhite allows reading books in the dark without an additional light source. The housing contains LEDs that light is evenly distributed in a transparent layer right above the screen and touch panel. Thus the text is easy to read at night, but the light is not emitted directly into the eyes of the user, as is the case with tablets.

Amazon Kindle Voyage not only resigned from the backlight, but also added two new very important from the point of view of the reader news. One of them is the ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the power with which LEDs are lit conditions. In addition, the reader will intelligently reduced backlight level, if it detects that the user is in bed getting ready to sleep and still reads the last chapter of the book before going to sleep.

Review: Avid readers will love the Kindle Voyage – Chicago Daily Herald

GRAPEVINE, Texas – As a stand-alone e-book readers it, I have yet to find anything as comfortable and easy to use as Amazon’s Kindle.

Last year’s Kindle Paperwhite was small and sturdy, and came packed with useful features dry as the ability to jump is another part of a book without losing your place. Amazon.com Inc. That he builds with the Kindle Voyage, a device That is now adjusts ambient lighting conditions and lets you turn pages without lifting your finger.

The added goodies are not cheap, though. The voyage starts at $ 199, or $ 80 more than the Paperwhite, Amazon will continue Which is sell. And that price includes ads Displayed When the screen is idle. For both devices, it’s $ 20 more to get rid of Advertisements. Both devices offer tweaks and 3G cellular version for $ 70 more, so you do not have to rely on Wi-Fi. This service is included for free.

Better Technology

What do you get for the Voyage’s higher price?

• Crisper text.

The Voyage has a higher-resolution screen, at 300 pixels per inch, compared with 212 on the Paperwhite. I thought the font had changed, but it was all in the screen.

• Light.

The Voyage still lacks a physical button for its light, so you need it to the on-screen menu to turn it on or off. But there’s now an auto-brightness feature That Detects ambient light, similar is what many phones and tablets have. With That, you can keep the light on. The maximum brightness is greater tweaks on the Voyage, compared with the Paperwhite. The Voyage is smart enough to remember your preferences, so if you manually crank up the light to a Certain Level under Certain lighting, the Voyage That automatically box will match the next time it senses Those same conditions. It tweaks knows that dim the light Gradually the longer you are in a dark room, as your eyes adjust naturally.

• Easier turning page

Tapping or swiping on the touch screen lifting your finger Means or blocking what you’re reading. The Voyage has page-turn controls embedded into its frame, so you can choose instead to turn pages simply by squeezing. This makes one-handed reading Easier, though it takes getting used it. Several times, I turned back a page instead of flipping forward because I rested my thumb Between the two control points.

• Size

The Voyage is thinner and lighter than the Paperwhite, though still wider than a paperback book. Samsung’s 7-inch Nook reading tablet, priced at $ 170, is a good choice if you’re looking for a slim, but That comes with distractions dry as email, Facebook and games.

What Has not Changed

The software powering the Voyage is Largely the same. Amazon offers plenty of supplemental materials, Including passages That other Kindle readers have highlighted collectively and an X-ray feature with more information on characters, places and terms. X-Ray is being expanded to give you an easy way to flip through notable passages and images in books. The Paperwhite will get that, too.

With either device, you can view tweaks dictionary definitions and Wikipedia entries by pressing on words. A vocabulary-builder compiles the words you look up so you can quiz yourself on them later. As you’re reading, you can tweaks see how much time you have left in the chapter or book, based on your reading speed.

Choices, Choices, Choices

Is it worth it the upgrade?

Avid readers That want a stand-alone reader, and not a tablet, you will love the Voyage. Though you will still be locked into Amazon’s Kindle e-books only. You can not read selections from Apple’s iBooks or Barnes & amp; Noble’s Nook.

For others, the Paperwhite will still Satisfy. And Amazon’s basic no-light Kindle is still just $ 79.

Kindle Scout – yet another proof that the artist can be anyone – Gadzeto Mania

When in Poland introduced “taxes on piracy” and wants to set one price for all the books, the West’s open to the young, talented but unknown artists. Meet the Scout Kindle – another after Kickstarterze service that gives you the chance to realize their dreams.

The Kindle Scout any aspiring writer will be able to boast of his work, which may lead to his release.
Shared roughly 5000 words to encourage readers to vote. The more positive reviews a fragment gather, the greater the chance that the Kindle Publishing Press, publishing e-books on the Kindle, is interested in the work of the author, and release them into the digital stores.

This is the Kickstarter no money . Publisher checks the interest, and can pick out writers whose works evoke emotions, attract, attention. At the outset, reducing the risk of commercial bummer, because you can easily see that the item has that something. In the end, voters liked.

Authors of selected books will receive a five-year contract, $ 1,500 advance payment of 50% of the profits from book sales and advertising. If in five years the book does not bring $ 25 000 profit, at the request of the author’s Amazon will pay the full rights to it. READ MORE

In the age of Kickstarter and his Polish counterpart, such as wspieram.to or polakpotrafi.pl statement that “anyone can be a creator” sounds like a cliché . Truism.

On the other hand, in Poland often forget this. By a number of artists who, instead of enjoy it, which allows them to Internet, the yearn for the good old days when a book was enough to record / make the album, and she was sold.

Then – you know. It came bad piracy, Spotify bad, and really bad competition, because suddenly it turns out that you can record / write at home and earn similar acclaim. Suddenly people began to have a choice. began a rivalry.

The name itself is not enough , as shown by example U2 – CD was distributed for free, and even then most do not want to. Something must be present. We have a lot of things, not enough time, so we choose only the best.

I love the Kindle Scout at the start, because it is the idea that it’s hard not to like. allows you to stand out unknown . Just have talent. End of writing to the drawer, the end of użeraniem with publishers, who say it will not sell. Readers will be getting what they want to read.

That’s right – we are the most important! We decide we choose, we estimate. The artist has hit us, and not to you at the desk, who mutter: “selling out” or “not sell”. It is our creator has to impress!

Beautiful, because we have direct relation of the artist – creator . The best that can be.

But Kindle Scout Pole too annoying and sad . It shows at a glance, that in our outdated distribution methods are fine. In our book “saves up” fight against “unfair” competition, which wants to reduce prices. With us every smartphone owner must be punished tax, it might be a thief.

And no one looks at it, that using this smartphone, with one click, can help someone to publish a book.
