Amazon Kindle Oasis offers the ultimate reading for true luxury reader – Numrush

H et happens maybe only a few times in your life: you are convinced that something really could not be better, but that image is still beaten to smithereens against all odds. Such as ice cream and gingerbread. Or when you first read a book on Amazon Kindle. US book giant, however, goes a step further and wants the new Kindle Oasis achieve that ultimate feel with their own product.

Since the launch of the first Kindle in 2007, Amazon set itself a daunting task. With the introduction of the e-reader US company raised the bar very high. And while the company with each new generation bar refuted higher with new improvements, the key question with each new version continued: “But I must explain my current Kindle for on the side?”

Amazon’s. e-readers are from the first introduction already acclaimed for their ease of reading and how the e-ink screen almost comes across like ink on paper. In 2012, Amazon finally put the standard with the introduction of the Kindle Paperwhite, the first e-reader that offers the same standard in reading comfort, but with the screen lit up in a very comfortable way without external lights.

Unique experience

With the introduction of the third generation Paperwhite in 2015 it became clear that there would be for the majority of electronic readers a go-to e-reader. With a starting price of about 8 bucks for a Kindle or 130 euros for a Paperwhite and a Dutch shop for ebooks will choose the majority of consumers of these e-readers once they choose the quality of Amazon.

Yet we see some years that Amazon chooses to move themselves to the utmost to offer a very unique experience to a group of extremely avid readers. The company launched the Kindle Voyage in 2014, the first Kindle with a glass touchscreen, LED backlight which automatically adapts to the environment by means of a sensor and two pressure-sensitive sensors in the sides of the reader so that you can navigate through your book without a having to move a finger.

US media called the Voyage at its launch “by far the best Kindle which Amazon has ever made,” and praised his crisp screen. Nevertheless proved the difference with the Paperwhite in practice little and were soon questioned lodged with the price difference of nearly 60 euros for the entry level.

Luxury and comfort

The same question was of course everyone on the lips when Amazon in May launched a successor this year, the Kindle Oasis. With a starting price of 290 euros is a tough course obvious to scratch you behind the ears, but in practice everything is different. Ice cream, pepernoot.

The Oasis is an epitome of luxury and comfort. The first impression can be confusing: it is square now? And why is he on one side thicker than the other side? But when you have it once in your hand, you realize just how uncomfortable other e-readers feel in your hand.

It has to do with the way the Oasis minimal weight divided creatively. The 130 grams of the Oasis are a shadow of the 200 grams weighing the Paperwhite, but especially by design ‘leaning’ Oasis much more in one hand than the other Kindle. As a kind of double beaten magazine or paperback so.

Cover

The major drawback, however, that this ultimate feeling alone achieved when you use the Kindle Oasis are supplied without cover. Which included – leather – cover closes namely seamless and magnetically into the narrower part of the Oasis and transfers the weight to a small 230 grams

The cover adds to the luxurious feel and protects your Kindle so on. of anything and everything, but the most comfortable reading experience you have absolutely no cover. And although you can easily detach the cover thanks to its magnetic closure, there is a special reason to use him: it is an extra battery

Without cover offers the Oasis about two weeks reading on a full charge. battery, but thanks to the external force from the cover of the Oasis can even 9 weeks on a journey without an intermediate load

Impressive battery life

Ten compared to its predecessor, there are considerable differences between the Kindle’s. The Oasis has always offered a 6-inch display with 300 ppi e-ink Carta HD technology. Unlike the six LEDs of the Voyage Oasis has no less than 10 LEDs on the sides of the screen. But where the Voyage lamps arranged automatically via a sensor, the LEDs at the Oasis always and must be adjusted manually

The pressure-sensitive sensors are of the Voyage -. As some reviewers had already predicted – expire and replaced by two buttons on the thicker side of the Oasis. The controls are typical of the better reading experience: you can now Kindle can hold in one hand and with the thumb through a book to browse. And exchange your hand, then turn the built-in accelerometer automatically your book and turn the control it

According to its website, the Kindle Oasis on a full battery (and including cover) guarantees “for months reading ‘, in total the device would thus be able nine weeks along. Which intended life sounds almost impossible, in practice, the Oasis will often go faster to the charger, especially if you – like me during the first tests -. Not in airplane mode sets and the wifi and 3G antenna thus remain active Kindle

However, the Kindle Oasis impressively long, and it also has to do with a number of tricks which Amazon has built to conserve battery life when not in use the Kindle. Did your Kindle before into a sleep mode when not used it for a few minutes, even Oasis goes after one hour in a hibernation mode, a mode in which the processor virtually come to a halt and the memory is even eliminated.

Disappointing for all badlezers: although you might expect that Oasis would be waterproof for a price of nearly 300 euros or higher, that is unfortunately not the case. Extra careful at the beach, poolside or at home in the bath so.

Ultimate reading

Under the stripe Kindle Oasis is an absolute ‘wanna have’ for avid readers and lovers of well designed and fully functioning technology. It is the Aston Martin among e-readers, where the Paperwhite is the Gulf. The current generation Paperwhite is the absolute go-to ereader for the largest group of readers, even the most enthusiastic lovers of the written word.

Do you have a White Paper at the moment? Then there is absolutely no need now to save your piggy piece for the Oasis. But if you are looking for the ultimate reading and budget are available, do yourself a big favor and consider the Kindle Oasis.

Verdict

Pros

• Lightweight
• Battery
• luxurious look
• Best reading experience from the moment

Negatives

• Cover makes heavier
• Light does not automatically adjusts
• Do not waterproof
• Spicy price tag

the Amazon Kindle Oasis is the 8th generation popular ereader of the US tech giant. Oasis offers the ultimate reading by its sharp display and is similar in appearance and pricing targeted at the most avid readers.

Amazon Kindle denies hacking database – Automation Guide

Amazon denies that a hacker stole data of 80,000 customers with a server Kindle. The company claims no data leak having established after a hacker claimed he had received the information in your hands.

The hacker offered the information to the Internet. These have included email addresses, hashed passwords and debug information. Amazon has announced that The Register data are not from their servers.

“We have further determined that the accounts are not real accounts of customers of Amazon”, as the company has announced. Amazon believes that the data comes from another database. It provides no additional information about where the data or is coming.

Data are really

The leaked database was last week examined by the company Hacked-DB, which concluded that the data are genuine and have not previously been published online. The hacker, the information would have first offered to Amazon for a price of $ 700, but the company did not respond to this offer. When he decided to disclose the information.

Hands on: Amazon Kindle Touch (2016) eBook Reader – The Sydney Morning Herald

It’s missing most bells and whistles, but the Addition of Bluetooth opens up Amazon’s new entry-level Kindle Touch to vision-impaired booklovers.

While the high- end Kindles keep getting more and more expensive, like the $ 299 Kindle Voyage and $ 449 Kindle Oasis, Amazon hasnt forgotten That we all can not justify spending hundreds of dollars on an eBook reader. The new $ 109 entry-level model retains the same price tag as its predecessor and offers little in the way of improvements, making sure it remains good value for money for book lovers on a tight budget.

Having reviewed the only premium model Kindles over the last few years, I have to say I was underwhelmed When I first fired the new budget model out of the box. Compared to the Voyage and Oasis it feels like cheap lightweight plastic, as if Amazon has gone out of its way to make this feel like the el cheapo model.

Of course technology moves quickly and I realizations That only a few years ago I would have called this design a marvel of the age. It’s actually 11 per cent thinner and 16 per cent lighter than its predecessor, Although the decision to go with fat rounded edges makes it feel more bloated than it is really.

I’m sure the new Kindle would make a much better first impression if you were not familiar with the top shelf Kindles, but it’s something to keep in mind if you know your way around the Kindle range.

Keep it simple

While it has a slightly smaller footprint than its predecessor, the new budget model retains the same 6-inch screen offering 167 pixels per inch resolution. All of the other Kindles offering 300 ppi resolution, with crisp text that looks like it was splashed out by a laser printer, but I would not consider this a deal-breaker if you’re just reading novels.

The budget model ook lacks physical page turn buttons, Instead you tap or swipe the screen to turn the page. I do not view this as a shortcoming Either, as a tap feels less intrusive on the reading experience than pressing a button – especially considering how cumbersome the Voyage’s buttons can be

The new model is available in a. choice of black or white, if you care about aesthetics. Amazon does not throw in a case but one sells as an optional extra for $ 34.99 with a magnetic clasp-which puts the reader to sleep. Unfortunately for fashion-conscious shoppers It seems the case is only available in black.

You ook miss out on 3G / 4G “Whispernet” access to the Kindle book store while you’re on the road. Even the US model only offers Wi-Fi, but once again I would not view this as a deal-breaker considering Either you can plan ahead or generate a Wi-Fi hotspot from your phone When you’re away from home. Amazon HAS doubled the onboard storage to 4GB, which should be good for around 3,000 eBooks to keep you entertained.

Shine a light

More frustrating is That the entry-level Kindle still lacks the light – a side light shining onto the e-Ink screen, All which is easier on your eyes than a backlit LCD screen – which is built into the $ 179 Kindle Paperwhite and the more expensive models.

The lack of a light will not bother you if you only tend to read in direct sunlight or under a bright reading lamp, where you’ll appreciate how little the Kindle screen glare throws off. Yet if you find yourself reading in varied lighting conditions then you shouldering really consider the merits or Kindle Paperwhite – especially if you like to read in bed while your partner sleeps

The new Kindle’s major claim to fame is that. it’s the first Kindle e-ink reader to support Bluetooth audio. You can not listen to music or audio books, it only lets you take advantage of VoiceView text to speech-which reads books aloud and helps you navigate the menus -. Similar to Apple’s VoiceOver feature design for vision-impaired iGadget owners

Amazon dropped the headphone jack from its entire range kindle a while ago, a change-which I’m guilty or looking in my reviews. If the lack of a headphone jack HAS kept you from upgrading from a very old Kindle then the new budget model is certainly worth a look.

So what’s the verdict?

If you’re happy with your Existing Kindle then there’s no reason to upgrade Unless you’re excited about Bluetooth. If you’re looking to buy your first Kindle then I’d certainly think twice about forgoing the backlight-which makes the $ 179 Kindle Paperwhite the sweet spot in terms of price and features.

If you’re certainement you can live without the backlight then the new entry-level Kindle could be the perfect Addition to your digital bookshelf.

Amazon deletes Kannada book from Kindle, triggers debate – The Hindu

Online portal Amazon’s decision to delete the Kindle version of “Aidu Paise Varadakshine ‘by Kannada writer Vasudhendra, a week after it was uploaded, HAS raised a larger debate on the presence of regional languages ​​on electronic reading devices.

Kindle (2016) review | Trusted Reviews – Trusted Reviews

What is the Kindle (2016)

Eager to get an e-reader, but want to save some cash and so are not fussed about fancy additions? The budget Kindle (2016) from Amazon might be the perfect way to move on from your dusty collection of hardbacks.

Amazon’s bottom-of-the-range e-reader lacks features Such a high-resolution display and the backlight That you’ll find on the Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Voyage, but it’s still an impressive gateway into the online shopping giant’s fantastic Kindle ecosystem

Kindle (2016) -. Designs

Like any device that’s leg put together for the budget market, the latest Kindle can not match its more illustrious siblings When it Comes to design. But this is not Necessarily a bad thing. In fact, there’s something about the rugged nature of this cheaper model That almost makes it better.

I worry about my Kindle Oasis When I throw it in my bag. It’s a delicate, expensive device that i do not wanna ruin. But the Kindle (2016) feels different. It’s chunky without being thick, and it feels tough. The durable plastic exterior does not feel cheap, and the few occasions when i’ve dropped it already have not resulted in any damage

Related:. Which Kindle shouldering you buy

The sides are rounded, making it easy to hold, and it’s very light. It’s the lightest out of all the Kindles at a mere 161g. By comparison, the Kindle Voyage tips the scales at 181g, while the Kindle Paperwhite weighs 205g.

It’s Marginally That narrows the Voyage, but it’s thicker. If you’re so inclined, you can slip it into a back pocket without too much issue.

Unlike the Oasis or Voyage, there are no physical buttons here, since all the navigation is handled via the responsive touchscreen . Personally, I prefer the feedback or some clicky buttons When I’m flicking through pages, but costs have Clearly had to be cut.

And, well, that’s about it. There’s a single button on the bottom for switching the device on and a Micro USB charging port next to it. It’s about as basic as you can get, but that’s the point. This is a reading device, nothing else.

One annoyance: I’m not a fan of the in-your-face Amazon Kindle’s branding on the rear – it’s obnoxious and pointless. Older versions just had Kindle emblazoned upon them, and tat was so much nicer

Kindle (2016) -. Battery Life

Judging battery life on a Kindle is tough, Because They’re all so good. These are devices That Should not be charged every day or every night, but every month.

Amazon’s cagey about Stating firm figures regarding etc. exactly how much time you shouldering get between batches Merely Stating “it lasts weeks” – but do not let That worry you. I’ve been using the Kindle (2016) for a couple of weeks now, after Initially charging to 100%, and the battery indicator HAS depleted by little more than a quarter. I’d say you’ll get between three weeks and a month or juice with an hour or so of reading per day.

The lack of backlighting helps to extend battery life further. Really, I’ve never pulled a Kindle out of my bag and found it dead. I can not say the same for a phone or tablet.

Charging via Micro USB, and you get a cable in the box. It does not come with a mains adapter, though, so you’ll have to use the one from your phone or just plug it into a computer

Kindle (2016) -. Display

While the design and battery life are not that much worse than other Kindle models, the display is where the tech hAS bEEN cut to Achieve the low price.

The biggest omission is the lack of a backlight . This is a completely unlit e-paper display that’s just as impossible to read in the dark as a typical book. If you like to read at night, the Kindle Paperwhite is the much better option.

But we’re not at a stage yet where Amazon can offer a backlit Kindle for this price.

The other sacrifice is resolution, Although this is less of an issue. The 6-inch panel HAS only 167ppi, as Opposed to 300ppi on all the other models. That’s a dramatic drop, and looking at the Kindle (2016) and Kindle Paperwhite next to each other, the difference is instantly noticeable.

text is not as crisp, and lowering the text size results in jagged edges on the typeface.

But it’s completely readable. After a while I forgot about the higher-resolution text on other Kindles and my eyes adjusted. Text is still perfectly readable and you will not find yourself squinting.

The screen is touch-enabled, and all the navigation is done via the panel. It’s fast and responsive, in some cases flicking to the next page quicker than my Kindle Voyage. I’ll Put That simply down to it being much newer, though.

If you’re looking for a portable device for watching videos, then a Kindle is not for you. You’re better off taking a look at our round-up of the best cheap tablets. The anti-reflective screen is best for reading, and unlike LCD screens it works in direct sunlight

Kindle (2016) -. Other Things to Consider

The great thing – or sausage, depending on your feelings – about the Kindle is that, in terms of software, all the models are exactly the same

whether you pick up this budget Kindle (2016) or spend more on a Paperwhite or Oasis. the overall look and functionality of the software remains the same.

Updated Earlier in 2016, the Kindle home screen is about as functional as it’s ever been. You get a quick glance at the books you’re currently reading, Suggested reads at the bottom, to Goodreads integration, and quick access to the fantastic Kindle Store. There’s a handy search box, too, All which not only finds content That you’ve already downloaded but searches across the whole book store.

Amazon’s huge e-book library is the single biggest reason to pick up a Kindle on a Nook or Kobo. It is not just the book selection, but the extras, too.

Kindle Singles are short reads That cost less than a quid, while Prime members receive access to the Lending Library and the ability to borrow a book a month. There’s usefull Kindle Unlimited-which is sort of like a Netflix for books, costing £ 7.99 a month for unlimited access to a bunch of books. It has a decent selection, but it’s packed with more indie authors than bestsellers

You can pick up this Kindle (2016) Either in black or white, Although stock of the lighter model Seems to fluctuate far more than its darker sibling. My review unit is black and it’s my color preference, since it’s less prone to picking up dirty marks over time.

There’s 4GB of onboard storage, All which is plenty for Books that are mere kilobytes in size, but there’s still no audio output or audiobook listening supported.

Like most Kindles, the cheapest version (£ 59.99) comes with lock screen ads. To be honest, thesis are not that intrusive, but you can pay a tenner to have them removed.

Should I buy the Kindle (2016)

The latest budget Kindle the perfect entry to e-reading. It’s cheap, durable and features the same software as the Amazon pricier offerings. For £ 59.99, there is not a better ebook reader on the market.

I’d still say the Amazon Paperwhite (£ 109.99) is the best all-around e-reader, and if you’re really into your books then this is the better choice. It has the backlight for night reading and a crisper screen.

However, if you simply want something to chuck in your bag for a morning commute or holiday by the pool and do not want to splash out, you can not go wrong with the Kindle (2016)

Verdict

Cheap and cheerful, but still very good -. it’s the perfect first e-reader
