The six-inch screens Oasis, Voyage whether Paperwhite suit most users reader Kindle. High resolution display allows you to select one of the smaller size of the text, so that the screen can accommodate more content, but there are some cases in which the opportunity to take advantage of the slightly larger screen would be a godsend. I admit that politics Amazon amazes me a little, because it consistently for many, many years, we do not get the option to choose a reader with a screen diagonal of greater than 6 inches, while the competition offers such a choice. Tablets of Fire series can be found in many sizes so that it is hard to keep up with regularly updated portfolio – in the world of Kindle nothing in this matter does not change. A pity, because the Voyage whether Oasis could also exist in the XL .
the company Kobo, a reader in the mini version tested in the pages Antyweb, prepared an interesting alternative for Amazon. Aura One is the reader with a screen diagonal of 7.8 inches at a rate of PPI of 300 – this makes it the most detailed display on the market. This does not meant that the reader would gain weight or dimensions – its thickness is only 6,9mm and weighs only 230 grams. Oh, I almost forgot, the reader is of course waterproof and clarifying – we are talking about IPX8 standard. Immersing the reader up to two meters will not be prejudicial to it.
Kobo finished well a bit of work on the issue of coexistence of software and hardware, resulting in the screen adjusts its brightness and color temperature of the environment in which it is located (the same True tones as a display in the new iPad Pro 9.7 inches). It’s very cool and useful addition. The device is devoid of physical buttons except one, of course, responsible for switching on and off of the reader. Turn pages and navigation interface is done using the touch screen, what we’ve managed to get used to.
the shop built into the reader will not find books in our native language, so the only way out it is to copy them to a memory device (epub files are supported). This is what is missing in my Kindle is one of the most important advantages of readers Kobo – direct access to the content stored in the service Pocket. A disadvantage I must acknowledge the lack of synchronization options arbitrary files and progress in their reading between devices and applications – this function is reserved only for books purchased in the Kobo Store.
At present, we know that the Kobo Aura One hit the market American and European, but we can not count on the official sale reader in our country. New product valued at $ 229.
