The Kindle Voyage is the thinnest e-book reader from Amazon and also has a higher screen resolution than the other Kindles. To this end, a new Umblätterfunktion and intelligent lighting join. But for pay twice as much as for the Kindle Paperwhite?
189 € will have Amazon for the Kindle Voyage. That’s twice as much as for the Kindle Paperwhite and about three times as much as for the basic version of the e-book reader. Together, they all have a screen size of six inches and 16 gray levels to display images and text. The Voyage stands out from other Amazon’s e-book readers, but from its high resolution and pixel density. They are located at 1440 x 1080 pixels and 300 ppi.
More pixels and an intelligent lighting
In practice it is found that the numbers are better, not only on paper but, that the Kindle Voyage really has a sharper display, and the black is blacker than other readers from Amazon. This makes it really enjoyable reads on the Voyage. In addition, you can safely choose a small font size to get more text on a page and need not fear any loss of quality. But
The display of the Voyage not only has a higher resolution than the other Kindles, but has also a backlight. Which has the Paperwhite on it, may you now think. That’s true, but for the high charge, you get an intelligent front light to adjust the brightness automatically to the lighting conditions of your reading environment and also makes it very well in practice, which the reading is more enjoyable since you do not own any place the must adjust brightness by hand – but this is still possible
Handy housing and a frame flip
At 7.6 millimeters is the voyage as thin as no other Kindle.. He is with its 180 grams – in the 3G version there are 188 grams – light in the hand. No wonder that he’s also lighter than an average paperback -. And of course thin
The back is divided into four elements that are slightly beveled and are optically clearly separated. The rubber coating makes sure that you do not so easily slip the Voyage out of hand, but can be kept safely with one hand.

As another major innovation of the Kindle Voyage Amazon praises to the Press Page function. These are the soft keys under that allow your pre straightforward and can scroll back shall – no matter which hand you hold the e-book reader. Releasing You do not need him for it, because the buttons do not respond to light touch, but only to greater pressure towards.
That sounds practical, proves in use, however, be less helpful than I expected. Basically, the touch screen is enough to turn the pages. No matter which hand you hold the Voyage, even with small hands can be reached easily actually both halves of the screen to scroll in that direction.
If you want for some reason do not touch the screen, but the use keys, one finds that they require much more pressure. In addition, the frame is so narrow that you tend to accidentally touches the touch screen and scrolls over it – and that’s not always the desired direction
Read until the battery is empty
. internal memory of the Kindle Voyage is four gigabytes in size. That sounds at times, where not only do I believe equipped with eight gigabytes for bad smartphones, according to some. But is not it. E-books do not occupy much memory, so that is also available on this reader, several thousand books place.
In addition, Amazon keeps all the content that you have acquired your there, free of charge in the cloud ready. So you can simply re-download the e-books if necessary. For content from other sources such as newspapers, magazines, websites or documents of university or work the cloud offer is not valid, but also there should be four gigabytes enough for long.
Amazon is the battery life of the Kindle Voyage in a small computational task: A charge should last reading pleasure for six weeks if every day in your off-Fi and lighting stage 10 read for half an hour. This results in a total reading time of 21 hours. Of course, the use of illumination and the wireless Internet connection shortens the running time, but using the supplied USB cable, the battery of the E-Book Readers should be fully recharged in three hours.
From the house of the Voyage comes with the following file formats without problems dogs: Kindle Format 8 (AZW3), Kindle (AZW), TXT, PDF, unprotected Mobis and PRC. Other file types like HTML, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP You must only use the Kindle software to convert on your computer in order to view it on the Reader can.
Better and more expensive, but not alternative
Amazon has the Kindle Voyage in two versions: The Wi-Fi version of the free mobile Internet access via UMTS costs 189 euros and – to also be able to go buy new books and download – You pay 249 Euro. The extra cost of 60 € definitely not worth it. If you go urgently an e-book needs to download, can the meantime uncomplicated and convenient handle on the data connection of your smartphone.
The question of whether be worth the 189 euros for the Kindle Voyage, can, however, not so easy to answer. Its housing is indeed much more elegant than the cheap Kindle for 59 euros and the display even more suitable for reading than for Kindle Paperwhite for 99 euros, but the Page Press-function in my eyes is rather superfluous.
remains at the end, especially the screen as a selling point – and if you is worth twice the price, you must choose the best for yourself. The “30-day money-back guarantee” Amazon makes it easy to order both to view. The display of the Voyage is indeed really nice, but compared to the Paperwhite personally would worth to me no 90 €
