If the leader of an industry brings a new version of its most popular product on the market, then the potential buyer and not least, the competitor may be curious. Time for the Frankfurt Book Fair, Amazon has introduced a new version of the Kindle Paperwhite first published in 2012. For 129 euros you can order the new kids with the 6-inch display (15.2 cm, 16 shades of gray).

primarily the display. It is envisaged to bring better contrast and scatter the light more evenly. The processor according to Amazon became faster by 25 percent, so that books can be opened quickly and switch sides when scrolling smoother.
Convenient for users, for example, read English books and always have to look up words, the vocabulary trainer. All the words that you have looked up, then appear in a list and can practice later on virtual index cards.

The e-books the Kindle Paperwhite obtained directly from the Amazon store, unless the WLAN connection is active. The 3G version of the reader makes the connection via the mobile line, the costs shall be borne Amazon. The 3G-capable reader but is considerably more expensive 189 euros.
Excellent display
display when Amazon has promised too much. It is quite amazing how close the display of the new Kindle comes to the quality of a printed book page. The letters appear sharply outlined and tired of the background is frosted white and lightly textured display does not reflect. No matter what angle you see it, the lyrics always look good.
A typical problem for many e-book readers can not also leave Amazon: The Black-and-white flickering of the screen, the sporadically and when accessing and navigating through menus very often occurs when turning. The indicator for the fraction of a second is black and white text, then only the background will turn white and the letters black. This is quite annoying, especially when calling menus and options.
