8 overview Kindle is the cheapest Kindle, it has never been so good. It lacks only one thing – Antyweb

the Kindle 8. generation is not a revolutionary product. Honestly, the differences compared to the previous version is very thin. For this reason, I want, first of all, the article emphasis on the fact that the new was found in the tested reader. The official premiere took place in June 2016. It’s a different hardware category than the Voyage or Oasis – located on exactly the opposite end of the sentence. The price on German Amazon is 79,99 euros, which when converted gives about 350 rubles. We do not pay the shipping. This is the best device for reading e-books for that kind of money?

Appearance and performance

the design of the Kindle readers, not counting the model Oasis, a long time passes, larger changes. Kindle 8 from this point of view is not surprising. The reader is sleeker, thinner and lighter predecessor. For tests, we got the dark model (dark grey actually), but in the offer there is also a white version. Dimensions 160 mm x 115 mm x 9.1 mm, first of all thanks very thin frame around the screen. And weight 161 g gives him the title second Kindle a light in history (after the model of the Oasis). Catches the eye first of all the fact that quite a considerable rounding of the edges and plecków corps.

Under other considerations, rather, in a classic style. On the bottom we find the MicroUSB and the only physical button for the sleep, logoff and reset (after long press) Kindle. Under the screen wkomponowano the logo of the Kindle brand, and the rear is a large stamp).

Display

Applied to Kindle 8 display panel E Ink Pearl with a diagonal of 6 inches. It works at a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels, which gives a density at 167 PPI. This is, unfortunately, of the feelings during daily use – especially in a situation when we used to have to deal with screens with higher resolution. Of course, it’s not nothing, what can not be used. Because he once used with old versions of reader with the screen at this resolution and without burning I they eyes. The fact that the fonts are a bit blurry and less sharp compared to the more expensive model Oasis. But is anyone surprised?

the Screen has no backlight, which really is its biggest flaw. Of course, it was difficult to tell in the reader for 350 rubles were decisions with much more expensive models. I must, however, recognize that very quickly got used to this mechanism and it is difficult today to imagine without him reading. Not here, I have only thoughts of evening classes with the book. The backlight comes in handy often – for example, in situations where part of the screen falls a shadow nervous.
