This is the new Kindle. Better than the previous one in every respect – Spider’s Web

Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 new headphones that connect to mobile devices via Bluetooth. If the rumors about the lack of connector minijack in the new iPhone is confirmed, and Apple will not add to the headset with your own wireless headphones, it hit the top of my shopping list.

So far it is not known whether the iPhone 7 actually run out minijack connector, but this is unlikely. It is not difficult to imagine that in the future we will headsets connect to the phone via Apple’s proprietary Lightning connector or wirelessly via Bluetooth.

Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 - review

to do this, you do not need anyway to wait for the new iPhone.

Headphones Lightning connector is already available, and sets of connecting via Bluetooth are available for purchase from years. Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 is the next generation of this product. the gadget tested with great pleasure, because at one time I was very satisfied user of Plantronics BackBeat Go 2.

the new model called the Plantronics BackBeat Go 3, which recently came to sales in Poland immediately to my liking. It’s still minimalist headphones intrathecal about a refreshed appearance, which will prove ideal as a headset for chatting and playing audiobooks.

BackBeat Go 3 now allowing you to enjoy playback of audio without the cable sticking out of his pocket.

The set Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 two handsets intrathecal are connected by a short cable, which can lead behind your neck. When you remove the headphones from your ears do not need them hide your bag or backpack. it is true that you must be careful not to lose the set, so I recommend found in the drawer of a small clip of some old headphones and fix it with a cable to the shirt.

Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 - review

Same headphones inserted into the ears are a bit greater than normal wired headphones. They are equipped with rubber bands that provide extra stability. In the previous model, they were removed, but the Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 are an integral part of the structure. Rubber bands inserted directly into the ear, which can be found in a box, are available in three different sizes.



Wielkość headphone is connected with recessed no battery and charging connectors.

The battery is tiny, but assured me the opportunity to average intensive use of headphones for two days. The manufacturer promises about 6.5 hours non-stop audio playback and these promises are covered in reality. Just for a moment, however, hook the handset to the charger or POWERBANK in the optional carrying case. It is enough to charge two handsets.

The case of powerbankiem is not a new idea, but it included an option for Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 is nicer than the previous one. This allows the addition not only to charge the handset, but also check the charge status POWERBANK and headphones while charging at the same time. This is a very useful accessory, but the handset from the case, unfortunately, costing up to 130 zł more.

what do you listen to Plantronics BackBeat Go 3?

Manufacturer admittedly argues that the quality of sound from the headphones connected via Bluetooth does not differ from regular wired headphones, but unfortunately I can not confirm this. You can clearly hear the difference minus compared to the usual pchełek attached to the iPhone, and even costing less than 100 zł ordinary headphones intrathecal play better.

for many people, it will be disqualified Plantronics BackBeat Go 3. Fortunately, I am able to deal with it and translate the convenience of the sound quality – especially the headphones I use primarily for making calls, listening to audio from the clips on YouTube and playback of audiobooks, but BackBeat Go 3 is not unfortunately gadget for music lovers.

Dobra the message is that the handset can work with several devices at the same time.

Headphones Plantronics BackBeat Go 3, as the previous model, can be paired with multiple mobile devices and easily switch between them. The manufacturer even prepared a mobile application, which from a smartphone or tablet can spend headsets command to connect to another device. He furnished it even in the widget visible in the center of notifications and menu … firmware upgrade from the headphones.

Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 - review

Headphones are advertised as mobile enhancement, but you can also connect to your computer. Here, unfortunately, I came across the same problem as the previous generation. Windows does not want to work – in the system of Microsoft’s Bluetooth support is still in the era of bit chipped and most of the handsets cause problems – and Mac always after waking forces to switch the headphones and makes them lose their connection to the phone.



Mam Unfortunately, as with other wireless headphones, a few comments in relation to how to play through Bluetooth iOS.

Although the icon Bluetooth status bar you can see the battery status and the Control Center allows you to easily change audio output, it is not fully resolved, so I would have wished. IOS can choose only one audio output and does not separate notification from the media.

This means that when you connect and you select Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 as the default audio output are played on them as notifications and sounds from the application. You can manually select the speaker and switch on the headphones, but even accidentally pressing a button on the headphones mutes the phone. It’s terribly annoying.

Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 - review

Sytuację rescues the fact that I receive notifications on Watchu Apple, but if Apple wants to release iPhone 7 without minijack connector should know better refine the audio output.

Right now, fortunately, the Bluetooth headset allows for more than just play music. Using a microphone and buttons on the cable connecting two headphones, you can pause and start playback, answer calls, adjust the volume or activate voice assistant – Siri or Google Now.

the application of the manufacturer does not offer too many functions over switching the audio source, but the manufacturer came up with the idea of ​​how to facilitate the use of the set. headphones transmit voice messages, eg. to start the pairing process, turn off the headphones or the estimated time remaining. do not speak to you but in the Polish language.

Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 are advertised as headphones for athletes, but this accessory is not only for them.

The new headphones are resistant to moisture and sweat. With the cover P2i prove themselves during exercise and not scary to them is rain. there is nothing but the way to wear it around your neck all the time. It’s really interesting gadget for people who do not need a crystal-clear sound and deep bass.

Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 - review

On the plus side I include that very well they stick in your ear and do not cause discomfort, even after listening to non-stop. Headphones are available in two color versions. One of them is black cobalt, and I have tested, in turn, a variant called gray copper.

Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 look much more attractive than the black and white sets in the previous generation, there are also a bit more minimalist. Sorry, the gadget has a huge minus, by which I do not run to the store and I order your copy now.



Cena Plantronics BackBeat Go 3 is unfortunately up to 440 zł, a variant of the bag costs 570 zł and is much more than the cost of previous generation handsets.

Amazon Kindle Oasis Review: Great e-reader, if you can handle the price – ZDNet

Amazon has been credited with revolutionising reading thanks to its Kindle e-reader. Other devices are available, of course, but Their market share is relatively small and the word ‘Kindle’ has become synonymous with e-readers.

The Kindle Oasis takes e-readers into a new sphere of premium pricing , the top-end model. with wi-fi and 3G, costing £ 329.99 (inc. VAT). That’s more than the entry-level £ 319 wi-fi-only – but much more versatile – iPad mini 4. Has Amazon made a shrewd move in taking the Kindle so far upmarket, or has it completely lost the plot?

kindle-oasis-main.jpg

The Kindle Oasis has a 6-inch E Ink screen with the same 300ppi resolution as the considerably cheaper Voyage and Paperwhite models.

The Kindle Oasis is certainly an impressive piece of kit. I’ve used every (non-Fire) Kindle That has been launched in the UK for extended periods and regularly switch between e-books and the paper variety. The Kindle Oasis quite simply delivers the best e-reading experience I’ve ever had.

That’s not to say That other Kindles are bad, or indeed That the Oasis delivers a dry and vastly superior experience That all other models Immediately should be consigned to history. But if you’re looking for the apex of e-reading, then this is it currently.

The device itself is exceptionally small, measuring just 143mm tall by 122mm wide. Two thirds of its width tapers to just 3.4mm thick, with the remaining third comprising of an 8.5mm-thick section That incorporates the battery. It’s a featherweight to hold, weighing just 133g.



 kindle-oasis-in-hand.jpg

The compact, lightweight Oasis is easy to use one-handed.

Image: Amazon

A thick bezel down one long edge makes it comfortable to use the Oasis one-handed. A pair of long buttons can be used to go back and forth in an e-book, or you can tap the touchscreen using all the usual conventions. For example, you tap at the top of the screen to get to the home screen, controls and settings; tap the right side of a page of text to go forwards in a book, and the left side to go back. It’s as easy to use the Oasis right- or left-handed as the screen automatically box reorients as you flip the device around.



Top ZDNet Reviews

The Kindle Oasis comes with a cover, available in three colors, that’s a key part of its makeup – it is detachable, but the two elements should be regarded as a single entity. The e-reader and its cover are connected by magnets and held very firmly together. The cover Increases the overall weight is 240g and thickness is 10mm, largely because it adds a second battery. Both batteries charge from a single micro-USB connector on the Oasis itself, and Amazon Claims up to eight weeks of life from the pair of them.



kindle-oasis-cover.jpg

The leather cover, Which comes in Black, Merlot and Walnut (shown here), adds a second battery, taking overall battery life is a claimed eight weeks.

Image: Amazon

The battery cover charges the one on the Oasis itself, so that if the two elements are detached the e-reader has the maximum power available. Amazon’s eight-week battery life estimate is based on 30 minutes of reading a day with wireless off and the light setting at 10. This is not as much of an advance as you might think: the Paperwhite and Voyage models both have a 6- week battery life based on the same usage pattern.

The trouble with long battery life is that it’s easy to forget to charge, but the Oasis charges relatively quickly. Amazon says it’ll charge fully in three hours, and I found it easy to keep the battery topped up. I also noticed less battery loss after periods of non-use than with the Voyage and Paperwhite, Which is consistent with Amazon’s claim to have reduced power loss when the Oasis is inactive.

The cover Provides welcome protection for the e-reader’s screen, and when it’s opened up the Oasis switches on automatically ready for a reading session. The cover flap is magnetically drawn to the back of the Oasis, anchoring it nicely.

Even with a metal-infused chassis, screen protection afforded by the cover and what Amazon says is the strongest glass screen ever, I found I wanted to take much more care of this Kindle than its predecessors. Other models get thrown into a bag with all kinds of random kit, and end up a little battered as a result. The Oasis feels like more of an investment, so it’s likely That owners will want a separate outer shell case to keep the cover and Oasis itself in pristine condition.

The 6-inch E Ink screen’s 300ppi resolution and 16 greyscales are the same as on the Voyage and Paperwhite, but there are the LEDs behind the screen here, as opposed to six in the Voyage and four in the Paperwhite. This helps ensure code greater lighting uniformity, Which is welcome.



 kindle-oasis-screen.jpg

The Oasis delivers clear, sharp text with excellent brightness uniformity across the screen.

Image: Amazon

Despite the lack of new screen features, even very small text is clear and sharp, and in my purely subjective view of the screen Appears a little whiter than on the two aforementioned Kindles. I found reading a more pleasurable experience than on the Paperwhite and Voyage, but the difference is marginal, and screen refreshes do not seem any faster than on other recent Kindles.

The adaptive front-light technology That Appeared in the Voyage is not here – you need to adjust the light manually if you want to use it. I personally prefer That arrangement, although I feel it should be present on this premium model along with the option to disable it.

Software-wise, there’s nothing special about the Oasis, and no That features are exclusive to the premium device. Nor Amazon has chosen to take the relatively easy option of bumping up the internal storage. There is 4GB of storage here – the same as the Voyage and double the Paperwhite’s capacity. True, this will hold an awful lot of ebooks, but more storage would have Potentially been a draw, and a relatively easy way to differentiate the Oasis as a premium product.



Conclusions

The Kindle Oasis is a pleasure to use, and it does have some improvements over recent Kindles. But the price premium is high considering the range and scope of Those improvements, and the uplift they offer is poor value for money compared to the £ 183.99 (inc. VAT) Kindle Voyage with wi-fi and 3G or the £ 135 (inc. VAT) Kindle Paperwhite with wi-fi and 3G.

The Kindle Oasis looks good and works well, but lacks the show-stopping features it really ought to offer considering its premium price.

Reader perfect – this makes the first impression of Kindle Oasis – Antyweb

Reader perfect – this makes the first impression of Kindle Oasis

I’ll start with an explanation that I owe you. When you first set the reader, it turned out that it is impossible to register it. I have not found yourself in this situation for the first time, so I knew what to do. Immediately initiated a chat with a support center for Amazon, I explained my situation and asked to register Kindle – enough for a few minutes and the “Oasis” was ready. Each of you can do it at any time, simply go to this page.

There will be no exaggeration that, if you write that Amazon has done an amazing step forward on the way to its purpose, namely the creation of the unit ideal, worthy of comparison with the paper. An unusual (for Kindle) block and construction may raise considerable doubt when looking at the Oasis, but suffice it to pick up, to understand that (almost) all its feature has been refined with the greatest attention.

asymmetric structure makes Oasis fantastic in the hand. The vast majority of its mass was transferred to one of the parties, which in turn moves the center of gravity in exactly the place where we keep the reader. On the Kindle Oasis read only two days, but now I know that no other Kindle does not make such fun at the same time completely disappearing in its role as an intermediary between us and the book.

One of the three most important reasons for my decision change Paperwhite (I) were Voyage buttons. These, as I have had time to share with you one of the previous texts, not quite meet my expectations. Amazon also seemed to realize this and decided not to put in the new Kindle technology PagePress, but put on a traditional, physical, pretty big buttons. It was a hit! Their location is so convenient that it happened to me not once, I would have to change the unit holder to press the key “next page”.



There are not perfect, and almost perfect

we are all aware that the products are not perfect. After only two days, I know that the word “paradox” is the first word that comes to mind at the thought of Kindle Oasis. Phenomenal and extremely lightweight reader must entail certain consequences, and one of them is (of course) battery life. Not without reason, for the first time in the history of the Kindle in one box with the reader get a case and with built-in battery. She has to provide us weeks and months operation in the standby mode. Without it, the charge level decreases like the Kindle at an accelerated pace. Where did my association with the paradox?

Since the construction of the Oasis Kindle makes reading is pure przyjmnością only if you do not use the connected case. The battery cover which is an integral part of “complement” the missing space in the rear panel of the reader, which makes the whole becomes equally balanced and less comfortable in holding. It was not anything big, because such a state of affairs we’ve managed to get used to, but when Oasis lost their character ceases to be such a unique device. Taking together case is an act natural, but each time disconnecting it and put down next to the reading time is a completely unnecessary complication. Oasis Kindle 2 with a much better battery? I take in the dark.

This is just first impressions

the first meeting of the Kindle Oasis evokes many emotions, as evidenced by the above text. His test Kindle Oasis prepared by Thomas, but to me more accurate observations, as the most expensive Kindle works in ordinary everyday life, how performs against another reader premium Amazon – Voyage – and whether it is worth incredibly large investment during a transfer of cheaper, older model, as even Paperwhite 1st generation.

Dear Amazon, I can not give you the Kindle? – Antyweb

“It will be a very pleasant test” – just the thought came into my head after a few minutes spent with Kindle Oasis. Start the adventure with a new reader Amazon was not easy on this later, but a few minutes of reading with Oasis in hand confirmed my belief that a company of Seattle knows what he’s doing.

Kindle Oasis reader the best and unrivaled, but not perfect – dobreprogramy


 Kindle reader Oasis is unique in many respects. First of all, I want to draw attention to the fact that the only Kindle promoted on the Polish market.
                         
                         
 

 I admit that I was surprised, because the Polish buyer is not considered to be wealthy or who love literature, and yet we are shown e-book reader that costs as much as four tablets, three readers Kindle Touch 7 or two InkBooki Obsidian (and still be on the books and cases).
 

 For that price, however, hides a certain logic, I’m following in the price list of the Amazon for a long time. Kindle 7 costs 80 euros, and the Premium cover 110 euros. Already for 140 euros you can have the Kindle Paperwhite, which cover premium costs 190 euros … the same as the Kindle Voyage, which in turn cover premium costs 280 euros. So you can throw a few euros and buy Kindle Oasis. I think if someone gave 280 euros for Kindle Voyage with a leather cover, you will not have any problems with reaching out after about 10 euros (44 gold) more expensive Kindle Oasis on subsequent purchases. In this way, small steps Amazon can convince the customer that the Kindle Oasis is not so expensive.
 
                         
 

r e k l m and a

 When designing the Amazon Kindle Oasis departed from the traditional, proven design. This is the first reader of this producer, which is asymmetric. The market is a rarity, and I think not without reason. Sam will read on the device symmetrical, preferably having buttons to switch pages on the sides. Keeping the reader tie the one hand is to me in some elusive way uncomfortable. Probably a matter of habit. When you rotate the screen reader adapts to the new position, so you can quietly “change hands”. In the settings of the reader can also switch function keys side. For me, more intuitive is set to “reverse”.
 

 Problems will be people who have e-books from sources other than Amazon’s bookstore. The reader only supports formats AZW, AZW3, TXT, MOBI and PRC natively, as well as HTML, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP files after conversion. We must in any case be careful when downloading purchases of electronic bookstore to choose the appropriate format. Usually bookstores offer the ability to download files MOBI, and sometimes also automatically send them to the Amazon cloud, so do not expect anyone to have problems because of this. One must know that one way to upload their own books for Kindle is to send him assigned to the Amazon account e-mail, for example anna@kindle.com.
 

 One should also know that books bought from the store Amazon have several advantages over coming from outside the bookstore. When reading and reading books intricate plots, you can use the X-ray , which clearly gives information about the appearances of the character. You can also view the most important quotes, which allows you to instantly “embrace” threads.
 



Made for language learning, if it comes to English

 Apparently, instead of the interface language to translate into Polish, Amazon will teach us all English. While reading, you can of course use dictionaries of the English language Wikipedia. Unfortunately, dictionaries do not translate into Polish, so you have a solid foundation of language, to use this feature.
 

 Another useful mechanism is Word Wise , which displays a summary definitions of words between the lines. This system has several levels, so if you show definitions of words known to the reader, you can raise the bar.
 

 The educational values ​​Kindle Oasis can provide a module Free Time . Parents can create a profile for children, add to it the appropriate books and school reading, and set goals to achieve – for example, the number of pages to read each day.
 

 To encourage regular reading have badges and trophies. Unfortunately, the profile of the child does not give full potential in Poland, because it works best in conjunction with a subscription to Amazon FreeTime and dedicated tablet for children. Then the parents can not only set goals but also time constraints with the tablet, can view photos taken by children and so on.
 

 Of course, in Polish books of these facilities do not exist, so if you encounter incomprehensible word, you have to reach for the Dictionary of Polish Language in a different way. Here we are approaching the huge flaws in my opinion, an exclusive reader, placed on the Polish market – there is no Polish interface, dictionaries or keyboard. While it may be safe to assume that a person willing to spend over a thousand zlotys to the device for reading books will not feel wronged English interface, the keyboard is no longer a problem. It can not be culturally write a review on Goodreads, or Facebook.
 



Without login not you read

 It is difficult to say whether it is an advantage or drawback – Kindle Oasis is one of these devices, which can not be used without creating an account. In this case, the first uruchoemieniu need to log in to your account Amazon, combine them with Goodreads, may be optionally added Facebook or Twitter, and at the end you have to view the tutorial. This solution has its drawbacks, attaches the reader to a “ecosystem” and significantly delaying the time to read the first book. In the long run, however, link your Amazon is very convenient. If someone has already had a Kindle, no matter where, will not have problems with change. Readers Amazon for years operated the same way, for what should be another praise.

 One of the advantages is the ability to send the aforementioned books by e-mail, which can be more convenient than kabelek. Besides, since I have a few friends on Goodreads, I immediately on the Home screen to see their activity quickly check what they read, if they like, and what book service recommended to me (unfortunately analogous native solutions for the moment I am not convinced). In this respect, Amazon perfectly planned also home screen reader, where in addition to their books, I also see the avatars of friends and covers of their books. I dare to write that “my company” Kindle Oasis have enjoyed thanks to great interest.
 

 I can not praise for how the Kindle Oasis presents quotes on Facebook. Entry looks nice, but add to it a cover and a link to a description of the book store Amazon a little triumph of form over content. But I am an advocate of sharing the same text.
 

 So many social features require frequent connecting to the Network. I tested the Kindle model Oasis is equipped with Wi-Fi (802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n-enabled WEP, WPA, WPA2 and WPS) and 3G, there is also a cheaper model with only Wi-Fi. 3G does not need a SIM card and works wherever “catch” any network coverage in more than 100 countries in which Amazon has agreements with operators. As a result, absolutely free, you can browse through a library of Amazon and buy the book. In dozens of countries can also be viewed websites in the experimental web browser, but this is not a comfortable solution for two reasons – E Ink screen is not used for such activities, and besides, the browser is not particularly stable. In Poland, the 3G Kindle works fine.
 



E Ink does not have to be free

 E Ink screens due to their design, changing the displayed image with some delay, and besides, it happens, that will be visible to them “ghosts”, ie remnants of the previous view … but it does not have to be that way. The Kindle Oasis was mounted fastest and finest screen E Ink, which I saw. Refreshing the screen acts quickly, probably twice as fast as in the “average” reader, there are no “ghosts” or imperfections. By the way, let me remind you that the rumors said that Oasis will see the screen type Liquavista, but still Amazon decided to E Ink, the same as the Kindle Voyage.
 

 The screen resolution is 1448 × 1072. With such a pixel size has no chance to be able to be seen reading and experience przebiegania scanned the text are really excellent. What’s more, 10 LEDs illuminate the screen gives a very even illumination and a large scale adjustment. I compared their abilities with their inkBookiem: brightest setting Kindle is much brighter than inkBooka (the pictures on the right), and a minimum illumination Kindle practically not visible. If someone is planning to read in total darkness and not disturb others, it will be the perfect setting, and because the side buttons protrude slightly above the casing, navigation in the book it will not be a problem.
 

 I have the impression that the lighting is cooler than the Kindle inkBooka. Larger adjustable screen brightness to compensate and make it no matter what the conditions, reading Oasis is a pleasure without side effects.
 

 Well, as long as we have this pleasure? Kindle battery is not large – only 250 mAh (3.7 V), which allows you to use for a week or two, depending on how much to read on it. It is not surprising that small rechargeable battery, when dealing with a housing measuring 3.4 mm thick at its thinnest point. The exact dimensions of Kindle Oasis is 143 × 122 × 3,4-8,5 mm.
 

 With the help comes leather cover with a second battery with a capacity of 1290 mAh. With it, you can use the Kindle for a few weeks (the manufacturer gives 8, but I did not have the reader long enough to be able to confirm this). Standby time further increases recently implemented mechanism of hibernation, so that unused reader is ready to act very, very long time (no one knows exactly how much ;-)). The cover is adjusted so as not to increase significantly the size of the reader. Closed or open is held together by magnets and its opening will automatically wake up the reader. The only thing you might miss is the ability to bring the reader, which provides cover for the model Voyage. Despite the many advantages of animal rights activists decided to cover for Kindle Oasis boycott because it is made of natural leather. There are three colors in our editorial established itself black.
 

 Profile Woblinka Facebook recently saw an ad that perfectly describes the Kindle Oasis: never leave the house without a Kindle. Not always read, but I’m always ready for that. Oasis is just such a – perfectly mobile, battery discharge is bordered on the miraculous, you can be read in all conditions, and thanks to 3G will never run out of books to read (although to be reckoned with the necessity of reading in English, which fortunately is not difficult thanks to the built-in codebook). The biggest disadvantage of this reader, that is, the lack of Polish language, one could fix software update, if Amazon decides to make such a nod to the Polish market. From the hardware I see it as a product well made and I have nothing to reproach him.
 

 Price is probably the only thing that can cool the enthusiasm before buying Kindle Oasis. In the German Amazon reader from cover costs 289.99 euros. The version with 3G, which is such, as tested by me, it costs 349.99 euros. That’s a lot, but sometimes it’s worth paying for luxury. I’m sure that the Kindle will find Oasis in Poland buyers who will appreciate it.

Kindle Oasis, which is about how Amazon has become the Apple world readers – Onet.pl

Kindle Oasis is a new reader Amazon, which in terms of technical development is only a small Kindle Voyage. When it comes to functionality and capabilities, it is not much of a difference even in comparison to the model Paperwhite. Then where 100 euro price difference between Oasis and Voyage and 170 euro price difference between Osasis and Paperwhite? The answer is simple: Kindle Oasis is not the device that anyone could need. This is the kind of good, which is to kindle the senses and the desire to have.

I am a Kindle Oasis and I can …

What can the Kindle Oasis? Well, displays on its 6-inch screen, a book written in the format MOBI, AZW documents in PDF, TXT, and this also HTML, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP after conversion carried out on the account Amazon (as in other readers with the Kindle family, books or documents can be sent to the device strapped to your email address, also directly from the online bookstore, and these appear in the library of the reader). Get built-in memory of 4 GB, without the possibility of extension for a further gigabytes through memory card.

Of course, we have to do e-paper, and more specifically the solution Carta e Ink, whose resolution is 300 ppi. On board there was also a very uniform illumination (10 LEDs vs 6 LED Voyage). Generally, the contrast offered by the screen quality and screen text are exemplary. But it was the same model Voyage, a little worse in the last version of the Paperwhite.

This may uptime? There actually is some progress (at least in the technical specifications, because hard to unequivocally verify the promises of the manufacturer). Osasis has work to eight weeks on a single charge, while the Voyage and the Paperwhite is referred to six. Interestingly resolved was the issue of battery life. In the reader uses a small battery placed in a more tasteful cover which is part of the set. Thus, the cover has two functions: it protects the screen from scratches and keep on charging the main battery.

But I will be your sleepy dream

If the functionality is what? Słówkiem The key now is to “design”. Amazon has designed a unique device that was flattering to the smallest detail. Finally, thanks to a slightly more “square” proportions (143 mm x 122 mm) we have e-book reader, which no one will confuse with the tablet. We also have an extremely slim casing, which at its thinnest place is a little more than 3 mm thick. For this Oasis used a metal frame and glass to protect the touch screen.

On the right edge you will find mechanical buttons responsible for flipping pages (the default upper responsible for another, lower for the former, but you can change the way they work in settings). But at the bottom on the same side as the buttons provided battery. It is written in the delicate “hump”, which by the way improves grip. Join this much weight in excess of 130 g (without cover) and you will receive a device that can comfortably hold without tiring your hand through the entire trilogy “The Lord of the Rings”.

Kindle Oasis – iPad world readers

I personally use three e-book reader and not very rational, I feel the need to change anything else. Especially when we are talking about Oasis Kindle, which costs nearly 1,300 zł version of Wi-Fi, no can do more than other readers from Amazon logo on the cover and is slightly more advanced than them. And yet, “mole of książkowemu” the Kindle Oasis could have dreamed. It is a device, which is eager not so much mind what the heart. It’s a top e-book readers, the purchase of which will be hard for you to explain, but you certainly will not regret. A good book and Kindle Oasis is a new definition of paradise on Earth.
