Kindle Oasis officially. It is the lightest and most modern Kindle in history – Antyweb

Kindle Oasis is 30 percent. thinner and 20 percent. lighter than any other reader Kindle. At its thinnest point it is only 3.4 mm thick and weighs 136 grams (238 cover). This is to be thanks to the use of polymer-coated metal frame. Thanks to the reader is to be a durable and resistant to mechanical damage.

Amazon engineers designed the device in such a way that it is ergonomic and almost undetectable in his hands. Kindle Oasis was designed for long-term reading – thanks to the completely revised shape, the center of gravity Kindle Oasis is transferred to the hand reader. As a result, the new Kindle rests in your hand like a book spine and remains in equilibrium when the user uses it, using one hand. Turn pages is done while using the physical buttons or touch screen. The reader also has a built-in accelerometer, so you will adapt to how and in which hand it stick.

the use found here also a new, dual battery system. One link was used in the reader, and the other in the outer cover (housing). It goes hand in hand with a new sleep mode which is more efficiently minimize energy consumption after the anesthesia. As a result, our Kindle will be able to withstand many months without a charger. Amazon beats himself. What is very important – both batteries load using a single interface – just that the housing and the reader will be connected to each other.

The reader application found Paperwhite display a new generation. It is characterized by diagonal 6 “and pixel density of 300 PPI. However, increased by 60 percent. the number of LED backlight screen (The Voyage there were six, and here it is up to ten), so that it is clearer than ever before. New Oasis Paperwhite display is the first display of the Kindle reader designed using 200-micron rear plate of the display. It has a thickness of aluminum foil and has to be extremely resistant to damage and scratches.

In all other respects, Kindle Oasis is no different from its predecessor. Here we continue to 4 GB of internal memory. There also changed the software – the reader runs on the same system without any noticeable innovations.

The new Kindle Oasis WiFi version costs 289.99 euros while the version enriched with 3G modem can be purchased for 349.99 Euro. It is available for pre worldwide and users of Polish will be able to order a new device with free delivery from amazon.de. It’s not cheap – the basic model of pay 1,250 zlotys, so actually as much as two Paperwhite III. It is therefore not only the most modern but also the most expensive Kindle in history.

Amazon has shown that it is the undisputed hegemon of the market. Here’s a new Kindle Oasis – Spider’s Web

In some circles, this premiere as hot as the new iPhone – Amazon just unveiled a new e-book reader. Meet Kindle Oasis.

Let me be clear – I did not expect. Although many things we could have guessed long before the premiere and lots of information about the new Kindle was leaked earlier, genuinely I did not expect such a move Amazon. Kindle Oasis is a departure from the design language, which the company applied for three generations of their product.

The asymmetrical design, however, has a lot of sense and can be enjoyed. 6 “e-ink display Carta is not the time for the whole surrounded by a thick, to facilitate the grip frame – the frame is just right (or left, depending on how we keep) the edge of the device, where there are also the keys to switch between pages. Worthy of note is the fact that on the same side of the housing Kindle Oasis is much thicker than the opposite – not only make it easier to grip the reader in one hand, but also is part of the sales strategy of Amazon, you want to attract customers to buy a new reader.

In an earlier episode is dedicated wrote that Amazon a matter of fact there is nothing to improve. however, the rumors were confirmed that the company Jeff Bezos wants to improve the already one of the best aspects of Kindle – the time away from work socket.

My two-year Kindle Paperwhite 2 easily withstand 4-6 weeks with daily use. compared to the Kindle Oasis falls but very pale.

The new reader Amazon offers special protective covers that function as both an additional battery. Thanks to the aforementioned asymmetric designowi after connecting the cover reader is not gaining significantly on the thickness and the gaining MONTHS battery life. Yes, months. I’m sorry, opponents of e-reading, but your main argument that “the book has dissipated, and the Kindle as” just lost his raison d’etre. Connected housing charge built-in battery in the Kindle Oasis, optimizing his work and what quite important, we need not separately charge the reader and housing – when connected Oasis charging will charge the case. Additionally, introduced a new sleep mode which saves even more energy Kindle when you are not using it.

Kindle Oasis is the thinnest & # x144; st Kindle in history.

Kindle Oasis at the thinnest (3.4 mm) and lightest (136 g) Kindle in history. and it is also more durable than other readers, since its housing is made of polymer frame covered with metal.

the screen still has a diagonal of 6 “and a pixel density of 300 PPI as the Kindle PW3 / Voyage, but Amazon boasts that thanks to 60% more doświetlających LEDs, letters are more evenly lit, and the screen has a much wider range of brightness. Oddly enough, by comparison to the official website of the product Kindle Oasis does not have a built-in light sensor, known for Kindle Voyage. it is a small failure, but for some customers this may be a reason to decide on the previous flagship Amazon. the more that …

Price breathtaking

Of course, all the news and fantastic battery life have their own – quite salty – the price. Set Kindle Oasis + cover of the battery is expected to cost 290 euros., Which is close to … 1300 zł !. We are talking about the same version of Wi-Fi, a variant of 3G connectivity will have to pay 349 euros. As a consolation, we can order the new Kindle with free delivery of the German branch of Amazon. The device can be ordered today for pre and will begin shipping next week.

Is it worth it to spend money on a new reader Amazon? This question each must answer for himself. I would say that I throw money toward the monitor, but the 1300 zł but it’s really hard to swallow expense. Probably, however, a break and I will give the money, but I can not recommend this purchase to others. For most people, the most reasonable choice of the readers, the Kindle Paperwhite remains the model 3. At a price of Oasis up costing close to 1000 zł Kindle Voyage appears to be a more reasonable choice …

The average user does not find a deeper meaning to replace older Kindle ‘ and (model PW 2 and older) to a new, because despite all the splendor, the aid for the OASIS simply is not worth it.

despite a high price, Amazon once again showed that he is the undisputed leader and hegemon of the market. And although it is not of course the only manufacturer of e-readers, do not kid yourself – what offers the current line of Kindle readers, it is not able to jump any other brand.

Is this the Oasis Kindle, Amazon’s latest reader? – Antyweb

The product bears the name of supposedly Oasis. By the way, the name raises the question of water resistance – the reader will be able to take to the water (pool, beach, marina) without fear of being zostanei damaged at the first meeting of liquid? With leaks indicates that the manufacturer has done something in this direction. If this proves true, it will probably groan. However, it can silence other information – the working time on a single charge. Konrad wrote about the battery:

But this is not built into the device, which, incidentally, will be grandly lean, and with batteries in case a dedicated reader. The revelations about the solar panel allows recharge the battery may be true, but with the difference that he also would be in a special case, which zadebiutowałoby in the future. [Source]

This case apparently really exists and will provide the reader a very (!) long working hours on a single charge. In standby mode, it would provide up to 20 months of work. It is hard to imagine. At the same time, the question arises about the price of such pleasures and comforts. The device reportedly weighs 131 g, at its widest point does not exceed one centimeter. The eye-catcher is wider frame with one hand and placed it on the – it looks strange, but it makes sense, the producer went in the direction of ergonomics. The reader probably feels good in one hand, easily changing the page.

Is that such a product will be announced this week? We’ll see – I would not be surprised.

Amazon is planning another model of Kindle – Onet.pl

In recent years significantly increased the popularity of digital books, and though contrary to predictions, not supplanted the publication paper market is selling quite well. Naturally, in order to benefit from such books, you must have the appropriate reader, and there is no denying that the most popular devices of this type come from Amazon and belong to the family of Kindle.

Soon, the family will be enriched with another product, which is on its Twitter said Jeff Bezos, CEO of the company. He informed that the reader will be completely new and classified as a flagship device. He would not give any technical details, promising that once we know them as early as next week.

Somewhat light on the new device throws us a publication of The Wall Street Journal, which informs about the protective case equipped with its own battery. It will be necessary, as the same reader will be even thinner, which will force the designers to reduce the capacity of the battery.

you also can not exclude the possibility that the new Kindle will be equipped with digital assistant Alex, whose Amazon recently heavily promotes its speakers Echo, which would be very useful in the case of eBooks, and could be read aloud.
