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.

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.
