The Amazon officially announced on Wednesday (17) the seventh generation of the Kindle ebooks reader, Kindle Voyage. Costing from $ 199 in the United States, he will be one above the current Kindle Paperwhite level. The screen, which is with even greater definition, is now covered with glass, and the action of turning pages is done through a device located at the edges of the sensor.
For the much higher prices, is Voyage clear that the Kindle is a response to e-readers top of the line, as the Kobo Aura HD, which has a screen off series. There in the United States, the Voyage Kindle Wi-Fi will cost $ 199, while the 3G version comes for $ 269, both with ads in the break screen -. Advertising options without cost 20 dollars more
Between news, the Kindle Voyage brings a new thin and light design with 7.6 mm thick and only 180 grams in Wi-Fi version, which somewhat resembles the Kindle Fire tablets, including the on / off button on the back. Despite the diet, Amazon says the battery lasts up to six weeks with a daily reading and lighting enabled, which is less than the eight weeks of the Paperwhite, but more than enough for all users.
With the new glass screen 6 inch e-reader now has a face with the same aspect of a tablet – the screen does not get more “recessed” in relation to the frame. According to Amazon, the glass is micro-etched to eliminate glare and spend a sense of touch to the role. And the e-ink panel Charter, which throws light not in your face and allows a more comfortable reading, is at a higher resolution, 300 pixels per inch.
A new sensor adjusts the backlight according to ambient lighting. The nice detail is that if you’re reading in the dark, the brightness is reduced gradually with time. So when your pupils dilate, you need not reduce the lighting manually.
And speaking of sensors, the frame around the screen of the Kindle Voyage has pressure sensors on both sides so you can turn pages. To press them, the sensors vibrate to give tactile feedback.
The Voyage Kindle is in pre-sale in the United States and begin to be delivered from October 21. Sought by Tecnoblog , Amazon says it does not comment on future plans for the arrival of the e-reader to Brazil. Here, the company continues to sell the same Kindles, the same prices as before
Bonus:. Most basic Kindle now has touchscreen
The cheapest Kindle, which costs $ 79, also won an update. The new screen is touch sensitive, and with it, many features of Kindle Paperwhite, as the Vocabulary Builder, X-Ray and integration with Goodreads will be available to more people. Like other Kindles, there’s 4GB of internal storage and battery that lasts for weeks.
Outside, the new Kindle entrance is in pre-sale and comes weeks before the Voyage, on 2 October. Still no release date in Brazil.
