In a Nutshell

  • eBook Reader Kindle Voyage (= travel) are called, both internationally and in Germany.
  • and the Voyage Kindle has a 6 “display. The resolution is 1440x1080px, so it is exactly as high as the previously hottest ebook reader, the Kobo Aura HD / H2O. Because of these but a 6.8 “panel, has the Kindle Voyage brings with 300ppi (Apple would say” Retina “) the sharpness crown.
  • Amazon speaks of” intelligent front lighting “, which probably a brightness sensor is meant (you will be with the front light rather can not discuss politics). Also new are “Press Page” sensors – The Verge believed that this is virtually invisible to the scroll keys. Scrolls with a stronger pressure on the housing.
  • 8mm thickness and 185 grams weight of the Kindle Voyage is significantly thinner and lighter than the Kindle Paperwhite 2 (203 grams). The Tolino Vision weighs about as much.
  • Voyage of the Kindle will be available from November 4 to. The base model with Wi-Fi will cost 189 euros, the Kindle Voyage 3G will be available in Germany for 249 Euros.

The end of subsidies?

Probably the thickest surprise is the Sale Price: Amazon wants for his Kindle Voyage, as the previous model Kindle Paperwhite 2 currently costs 80 euros more obviously violent. The sharp display is undoubtedly a visible literally Plus, but the other new features rather fall under the rubric of “nice to have”

If you have a Kindle Paperwhite calls his own, for which the update is not worth. – that would be much more the case when Amazon had his new Kindle also donated a larger panel. For 6.8 “(Kobo Aura H2O) or 8″ (Pocket Book Inkpad) but you have access to the competition. Who for the first time wants to buy a eBook Reader, or at least the first illuminated reader will most likely continue to pick up the Kindle Paperwhite 2 and make the often probably.

While the Kindle Paperwhite 2 probably continue to be sold, is the future of the entry-level Kindle in the stars. Currently Available for 49 Euros, is in the screenshot a “Kindle with touch screen and special offers (!)” For 59 euros to see sold from October 2 (ie advertising). We are curious.
