Since the e-book reader Kindle of Amazon already among us seven years, it was time for a animated GIF , which maps the evolution of the device. The metamorphosis shows in five seconds, how has Kindle changed in seven years.

On 19 November 2007 published Amazon first Kindle for the price of $ 399. The unit seemed rather clunky and had, in the absence of a touch screen quite a lot of buttons. So it was to use your own buttons for the next and previous page and a QWERTY keyboard for notes or to the browser. Since the first generation of all “classical” Kindle but have one thing in common: Thanks to the E-Ink screen they are extremely energy efficient because E-Ink works without power consumption while the screen contents are not changed

in February. In 2009, the Kindle 2 on the market. The changes were slight adjustments to the optics, a faster processor, longer battery life, thinner housing and a lower price. However, you could see the internal memory of 2 GB no longer expand via SD cards.

the end of July 2010, it was again time for an update. The Kindle 3 has been greatly reduced in price, otherwise nothing much has changed. However, was the new WLAN interface and a WebKit-based browser, but this was only “experimental” provided by the manufacturer. In addition, the contrast has been increased by 50%.

Kindle 4, announced in September 2011 brought several variations of the e-book reader, but all had in common, get along without many buttons as a touch screen was installed for the first time. But significant changes did not come until the Kindle Paperwhite, whose launch was in October 2012. He offered a resolution of 1024 × 758 pixels, so a pixel density of 212 dpi and had a backlight. So you can read without having external lighting. In addition, the touch screen concept was driven further and waives all hardware buttons.
