Appearance
The Kindle Voyage comes with a 6 inch wide e-ink display, which dissolves the text at 300 dpi. When e-ink process, the device requires no power for the display. Only when the content changes when scrolling, more energy is required. Thereby holding the Kindle e-book reader several weeks, as long as the background lighting is not too often is used.
It is this background lighting trumps with sophistication, but otherwise of an E Reader expected. The brightness can be adjusted manually or automatically adjusted by the light-sensitive sensor to the ambient light. It even goes so far that the optional feature “night light” the brightness gently but continuously reduced while to get used to the eyes in the first minutes of the weak ambient light.
“Compared even an average Paperback acts like a log” Compared even an average Paperback acts like a log Zoom © Amazon The e-ink screen is 16 grayscale However, the black is not worthy of the name. Instead, the display runs on a very dark gray out. This is what the quality of the representation but no harm. Together with the excellent, uniform backlight creates a very pleasant typeface that is superior to a printed book – also because the Font style and size can be customized to your preferences. For relaxed reading but also contributes to the excellent anti-reflective coating, so that the representation even improved in the bright sunlight.
However, the current e-ink displays not only have advantages. They react much slower than LCDs. And so every change of the content is accompanied by a short delay and flicker. This sucks for images, but the text-heavy page change the flicker acts only as a cheaper PowerPoint effect from the 90s. So life is good.
touch
The touch screen responds to touch pleasing accurate. However, the responsiveness is not enough to come close to a modern tablet. Each action is taken after a noticeable delay. Nevertheless, in a direct comparison with the control pad of the cheaper Kindle models, the touch screen is proving a boon
The touch display is used both for the menus, as well as for paging.. To scroll a tap at the lateral edges back and forth, alternatively also the touch-sensitive frame can be tapped. A tap on the top of the screen again displays the menu. And so on. The gestures go after a short time in flesh and blood.
Specialties
In addition, it is, of course, from the medium “book” squeeze the maximum functionality. Unknown terms are explained with a tap through the stored Duden – and if that’s not enough, the appropriate page on Wikipedia is displayed. This demanded terms are automatically transferred to the Vokalbeltrainer and can practice there by the well proven index cards system is simulated.
Buy and synchronize
And then there are all those functions, who have made the big Kindle e-Reader: The comfortable shopping in the Kindle Store or the immediate delivery of books that are purchased on the PC. This requires a connection over WLAN standard 802.11n is used. Since most of the books from a few hundred kilobytes and about three megabytes weigh the shopping goes in a few seconds on the stage
Finally, the unbeatable synchronization between all connected platforms and devices must be mentioned. The current book position is kept flowing in sync between the Kindle, the Kindle app on the mobile device or PC.
specialization holds tablets at a distance
At merits so there is no shortage. But how beats the Kindle against the cheap tablets? The Kindle weighs 180 grams, iPad Mini 2 about 331 grams. We learn the difference after hours of reading firsthand about on a transatlantic flight. A clear point for the Amazon device.
mini-tablets are the greatest enemy of the Kindle Voyage Zoom © ze / IDG The Kindle is available for 239 francs, the iPad Mini 2 for Franken 329. For about 90 francs so there is at least the 16 GB version of a modern tablet, which in addition to the Kindle app also supports games, rich colors, videos, music and more. However, this superiority is as an entertainment machine at the expense of battery. And so the Kindle owners read even further when the lights went out long ago on the iPad.
This competition is the chaff separated from the wheat from the purchasers. Casual reader a better grip on iPad & amp; Co., bookworms are on Kindle Voyage can practice tricks. The display reminds much more of a conventional book and the battery life can not be praised enough. In the dim light even screw Tablets brightness down, but reading with the Kindle feels much better – despite or perhaps because of lower contrast
Conclusion:. The Kindle Voyage convinced as an e-reader on the line. However, you really have to be among the most frequent readers. Who is sporadic nose in a virtual book, is better served with a tablet.
