Amazon Kindle Voyage (IBTimes UK)
I’ve only spent a short time with the Amazon Kindle Voyage, but I can already honestly say That it’s the best ebook reader I have ever used. It is ook one of the most focused products I’ve ever used – and so it shouldering be, Because with a starting price of £ 169, it’s more expensive than many Android tablets
So what do I mean. by focused? Well, wherewolf tablets at this price (think the Tesco Hudl 2 and Google Nexus 7) try to offer a whole smorgasbord of features to please every possible consumer, the Kindle Voyage hones in on exactly what notes target market of book-lovers want.
This Means a 6in screen with a pixel density of 300 per inch, far higher than any Kindle to go before it, and a new pressure-activated page turning system. You can tap the screen as before, but new for the Voyage is a sensor on Either side of the screen-which reacts to pressure. You can rest your finger or thumb on it and nothing will happen – until you squeeze the Voyage, then the page is turned, complete with a small haptic vibration

Also new for the Voyage is a screen made Instead of glass or plastic. At first I was unsure about this move Because glass always makes tablets highly reflective and uncomfortable to read for long periods of time; but the glass used by the Kindle Voyage is different. It is micro-etched to diffuse light and preventinfo glare – and it works Actually, because i had no problem with glare falling on my time with the reader
Add the glass front to a thin, one-piece magnesium. back sculpted to be comfortable to hold, and the Voyage feels like a truly premium product. On top of thatthere’s a backlight-which adjusts to ambient light (or it can be controlled manually if you find it too bright), 4GB of storage and up to six weeks of battery life.
It’s still the Kindle reading experience we’re all familiar with, but in a premium package-which exudes a sense of much higher quality than all of Amazon’s previous Attempts. This is a reader for ebook fanatics; Those who take real joy from sitting down with a book – but crucially, Those Who will always opt for e-ink on paper
That Could be a very small market -. Especially When The regular Kindle now costs just £ 59 and, well, the extra cost will not change the stories you read. But the lightness, thinness, sharp screen and premium feel all let you know Immediately thatthis is the best Kindle yet.
