8 Review of Kindle – the cheapest Kindle has never been so good. It lacks only one thing – Antyweb

8. generation Kindle is not a revolutionary product. Truth be told differences compared to the previous version are very subtle. For this reason, I want to first of all in his article concentrate on what’s found in the tested reader. The official premiere took place in June 2016 year. It is a completely different category than the Voyage of equipment or Oasis – located on the exact opposite end of the offer. Price in the German Amazon is 79.99 euros, per gives about 350 zlotys. We do not pay at the same time for the shipment. Is this the best ebook reader for the money?



Appearance and performance

The design of the Kindle reader, not counting the model Oasis, for a long time does not pass major transformations. Kindle 8 in this respect is not surprising. The reader is a slimmer, thinner and lighter than its predecessor. For the test model got dark (dark gray actually), but the offer is also a white version. The dimensions of 160 mm x 115 mm x 9.1 mm are primarily driven by a very thin frame around the screen. In contrast, weight 161 g gives him the title of the second lightest Kindle in history (after the model of Oasis). The eye-catcher is here primarily a fairly significant rounding of the edges and plecków housing.

In all other respects it is rather classic. At the bottom edge you will find MicroUSB connector and the only physical button to and sleep, wake and Reset (after a long hold) Kindle. Below the screen is adorned with the brand logo Kindle, and placed on the back of a large postage Amazon.



Display

8 used in the Kindle display is the E Ink Pearl panel with a diagonal of 6 inches. It works at a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels, which gives a density of 167 PPI. Unfortunately, this can be felt in everyday use – especially in a situation where we had previously dealt with screens with higher resolution. Of course there is nothing you could not be used. He himself once used the older version of the reader with a screen resolution exactly and they burned my eyes. The fact that the fonts are somewhat blurred and less severe as compared to Oasis several times more expensive model. But does anyone surprised?

The screen has no backlight, what exactly is its greatest drawback. Of course, hardly require a reader for 350 zlotys were solutions of much more expensive models. I must admit, however, that very soon got used to this mechanism, and I find it hard to imagine it without reading. At the same time I do not have here only thinking of the evening session with a book. Backlight is useful very often – even in situations when the screen falls annoying shadow.

Windows 10 Anniversary Update Kindle + = problem – the benchmark.pl

A A

In the context of Windows 10 already talked about several issues. The manufacturer is trying to eliminate them on a regular basis, but at the same time all the time there are new. Not without them, as in the case of the last major update – Anniversary Update.

In recent days, there were some voices talking about a rather unusual situation. It turns out, because it has been confirmed that computers with Windows 10 Anniversary Update does not want to cooperate with readers Amazon Kindle, specifically Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Voyage.

At the time of connecting the reader to a PC or laptop (via USB ), the system stops responding and displays how unpopular Blue Screen of Death (BSOD).

Interestingly, if the reader is connected by turning on your computer or laptop, everything works as it should. It was also noted that the described situation applies to port mainly USB 2.0 when using the higher standard of behavior occurs much less frequently.

Microsoft is not cut off by the subject, but at the moment solutions are not found.

This is not the first cooperation of that kind, because I used to both persons jointly presented digital books to 61 libraries in Kenya.

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.
