If you’re the type that leads to very healthy meal for the job – the classic lunchbox – more fruit for snack and will still do swimming after the firm, the 213 grams Kindle Paperwhite, new e-reader from Amazon, can be a good choice to upgrade the reading on the road without carrying even more weight. The Informatic @ received the model Wi-Fi + 3G for testing this week and believe me: passion defines the new relationship between reporter and gadget. The first observation to get the e-reader is how light it is (and perhaps therefore fragile) – 77% thinner. Distant reality that copy of Pornopopéia sometimes you left out for fear you can not close the bag.

The fact that only one button, and nothing else, can cause panic in the first seconds, “I called. .. And then, as this screen back? “. You depart for the account setup on the device and voilà: discovers that does not take an international credit card, but only one valid in Brazil, to access the virtual library of the company with more than 19 000 titles in Portuguese.

After account set up, a tutorial shows you the hidden functions in each point of the touchscreen. If you’re like most Brazilians, it is quite possible to read the first three instructions and skip all others in the euphoria of using the e-reader soon. Caution! You may regret it when, for example, try to find out how to increase the space between paragraphs and see if lost for a few moments: normal for every beginner. As resources are gathered in a top bar, which is hidden during reading, it will not be hard to figure out each tool. Additionally, a user guide is available in your personal library.

TOUCH

For those who are already familiar with touch devices, it is quite possible to try to make a pincer movement to give a “zoom in” or “zoom out” on the screen. The unusual (and smarter by the company) is the unit understand this action and offer source options as intended, including the original publisher. Already physical book lovers may feel a pinch of nostalgia to flip pages with your fingers.

Kindle Paperwhite, compared to the previous version of the company’s e-reader, is a little heavier (233g and 170, respectively). Nevertheless, the contrast and brightness of your screen are much larger. The advantage of LCD with 62% more pixels and 25% more contrast is evident. The old Kindle has grayish. According to Amazon, the screen is one of the most advanced ever produced for an electronic reader: with 212 dots per inch, which makes the texts to be read most clearly in any size. The images are also sharper and show more detail.

Readings night becomes much more enjoyable when you do not have to turn on the light. The LCD backlit Paperwhite directs light under a layer antireflection and down the screen, away from the eyes of the reader. This technology does not cause eyestrain apparent, especially because the screen brightness can be adjustable. This feature enables articles to read in bright sunlight.

While waiting for public transport with the “sun in his head,” gives to spend time reading any work, as GSV. So proper illumination, more consumption of Wi-Fi and 3G, the expectation is that the battery lasts as long as that of smartphones: one day and look there. According to information of the manufacturer, under special conditions, it can last up to eight weeks. In test Informatic @’s been five days and she is still going strong.

Before you buy, you can download samples of books. Additionally, titles can be read on iPhone, iPad, dispostivos Android, Mac, PC, or Windows Phone. Wit h technology Whispersync, Amazon synchronizes the last page read, notes and markings on all devices. With the Read Time, you can find out how long it will take to read each chapter. The feature is customized according to the speed of each user. This can generate much agony as satisfaction depends on the moment and each person. If you like to share snippets of their favorite authors in social networks, you can do it directly from the e-reader. Just register all your accounts.

There are those who ask why should you buy the 3G version if I can download the book in Wi-Fi for home and read it later when you want? Because it works, simple as that. You do not take a bill of goods as in most plans of telephone operators nationwide. Besides Brazil, this type of connectivity is accessible in a hundred countries. Thus, if you want a little more comfort even when traveling, it is worth spending the approximately R $ 200 difference. If not, the wireless the answer perfectly.

 The Amazon launches a application provides access to electronic books from the Kindle through the HTML5 , giving back to Apple.

html5 language that was advertised by Apple as a replacement for Flash is turning against Apple, with more and more applications in this language and thus do not need the “filter” in the Apple App Store.

Now is the turn of the Amazon, had to change the application that was available on iOS, and created an application in HTML5 with the name Kindle Cloud Reader , that works in browser and Chrome Safari and is available on the iPad.

Kindle Cloud Reader is as good or better than what was available in the App Store. Offers the possibility to access your entire library available in your Amazon account, and has 50 MB to be able to read the books offline.

This is a way to circumvent the strict policies that Apple is imposing in its App Store, which has forced Amazon to remove external links to the App Store, so as to gain the 30% gains on the sale of books.

But it is not the first time this has happened since Playboy and the Financial Times have created an application in HTML5. In the case of the Financial Times, it was the same situation, Apple wanted users bought a subscription through the App Store, getting the information of customers, which opposed the Financial Times, and was a pioneer in this situation, creating an application in HTML5 optimized for the iPad.
