Amazon began selling in Brazil on Wednesday (3) the new generation of Kindle basic, no recessed lighting, the same price of the previous model: R $ 299. the ebooks player won thinner and lightweight design, including the white color, and be with better hardware.
the basic Kindle was thinner 11% and 16% lighter than the previous generation and brought small improvements on the back to make it more comfortable grip. It weighs 161 grams, losing in lightness just for Kindle Oasis (which is too expensive, as we have seen). What’s new?
The RAM doubled to 512MB, which should improve performance. It is true that this news announced by Amazon is very questionable, because you do not need a lot of memory for just … reading a book. But change becomes more flexible use of the system and the display of complex documents.
Moreover, the player continues with 4 GB of storage to store thousands of ebooks, a screen e-ink 6-inch sensitive touch with resolution of 167 pixels per inch (less than 300 ppi Paperwhite, Voyage and Oasis) and battery that lasts a few weeks.
the basic model is sufficient for almost everyone, but it has no lighting on the screen, which can limit the locations that you can read your books, and hurt a little experience – the more expensive models, this light is not only to read in dark places, but also to increase the contrast in bright environments, making the whitest white. Published a review of the basic Kindle last generation.
The new Kindle is already being sold on the Amazon store for $ 299 and will arrive soon to retail. Not the company is rare to promotions that cut the price by almost half on holidays, so you may want to wait if the money is short.
