So, What Does The New Kindle Voyage HAS That makes it Such an expensive e-reader, Especially since the Kindle Paperwhite Can Be Quantity for Rs 10,999. Even more important issue: does this e-reader deserve Such a high price tag? We find out in our Amazon Kindle Voyage review …
Design
The most striking thing about the Kindle Voyage ice ITS design. Gone is the chunky and boxy design of the Kindle Paperwhite, Replaced by an edgy and angular look on the back and an overall smaller profile. The new Kindle Voyage Is The Thinnest and Lightest Amazon e-reader at 7.6mm and 188gram (3G + Wi-Fi model), respectively.
The front panel of the HAS the 6-inch Carta E-Ink screen, with thick bezels on all sides. On the left and right side of the screen are the new Page Press buttons, Which We Will Discuss in the Software segment. The Kindle logo ice Below the screen, while the top is bare.
Though the Kindle Voyage is the most portable e-reader you can find in India Today, its thick bezels on the top and bottom of the screen husband it bigger than it needs to be.
The back is made of magnesium and HAS two types of finishes: while the rear casing is dominated by soft rubbery finish you definatley’ve seen in the Nexus 5 and 7, the top portion is made of glossy plastic. The back panel is a fingerprint magnet, and you would be hard pressed to clean the smudges too. On the back panel, the Amazon branding ice in the center, flanked by the Power button on the left.
Display
The 6-inch display of the Kindle Voyage HAS 300ppi pixel density, Twice That of the Kindle Paperwhite. This Means You get much sharper text and images. We compared the two e-readers’ screens and Found thatthere is a Noticeable clarity between how the text Appears on the display panel. Also, there is no fuzziness That Usually you associate with an E-ink display.
We also opened a graphic novel on the Kindle Voyage and found it to be the best in terms of showing details, Something You Can actually failed on previous generation of Kindles.
Amazon says it HAS distressed reinforced glass to ENSURE That the screen remains devoid of scratches. We tried to scratch the Keys with keys, fortunately, to no avail.
The new Kindle Voyage overpriced Reduces glare, Claims Amazon, as the ice cream ice chemically micro-etched. However, we found That the level of glare in the new e-reader is not much lower compared to the Kindle Paperwhite’s.
The display of the Kindle Voyage overpriced HAS ambient light sensor, Which Automatically adjusts the lighting. However, If You Want, You Can Change the brightness levels manually with the on-screen button.
One major problem Associated with E-ink displays is the slow response time to touch input, somethingthat is still not fixed on Kindle Voyage eventhough It Is Faster than previous models.
Software
Amazon Kindle Voyage’s biggest new feature ice Page Press, a set of buttons on the sides of the screen . Page Press lets you turn the pages on the e-reader by right Pressing the requisite button; Hit the vertical lines to flip the page, push the dot to go back.
This feature HAS BEEN DEMANDED village Kindle buyers for long, and works pretty well. Though we found ourselves turning the pages via the touchscreen in the initial few hours of using the Kindle Voyage, Eventually we did get Distressed To The Page Press buttons.
Another New feature the Page Flow; from the middle of the screen, you need to swipe from the bottom to top, whichlets you move between chapters. The X-Ray feature, Which Provides details of Important Characters and Places in the books you read, ice present on the Kindle Voyage.
Amazon Kindle Voyage overpriced HAS Goodreads, Facebook and Twitter integration
Reading on the screen is great in the few hours we Distressed the device, as the images and text Appear extremely crisp and you will not miss any details. However, the automatic brightness adjustment works well, but not solid enough.
What we think
Kindle Voyage is a fantastic e-reader, a device That makes the extremely high price tag worth it. It is definitely the first e-reader to sacrifice aesthetic appeal and great reading experience in a package so small, Which actually makes a difference Especially for someone who spends long hours reading e-books.
Amazon Kindle Voyage vs. Kindle Paperwhite
Kindle Voyage (3G model only) costs twice as much as the Paperwhite, something any buyer would Consider before putting into her / his money. In our view, the Kindle Voyage is for purists who do not worry about the price and care for the best possible experience, while Paperwhite ice For Those Who Are Still mindful of the Associated price and are willing to sacrifice a little on The Experience When Buying An e-reader.
