The bestselling Kindle Paperwhite gains a new screen with a pixel density to double, but also new fonts, layout and other intelligent features. News for instead the top version, Kindle Voyage, with magnesium body and scratch-resistant glass.
Amazon brings today two new, or a new version of Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Voyage, in his debut in our market. Announcements for Kindle paperwhite, the best-selling model, concern primarily a new resolution, brought to 300ppi (then almost doubled), but also other interesting features.
The first concerns a new font that Amazon has called Bookerly. It is a character writing specifically designed for digital screens and the result of several studies. All focused on readability and the ” attractiveness “. Bookerly promises to be one of the most readable in any size you set, they differ in small details compared to the modern font used in printing.
Bookerly resumes proportions and shapes similar to the ubiquitous Palatino and Caecilia, but with some amendments on the one hand, to speed up the reading, the other not to tire the view. Here, this is the major news for Kindle Paperwhite, in addition to a character spacing optimized introduction of hyphenation, justified margin, kerning, ligatures, and support for drop caps.
Kindle Voyage is the novelty for goes to position itself in the top of the range home Amazon, not only for materials but also for some interesting technical solutions. We start from the size, namely 162 mm x 115 mm x 7.6 mm: slightly smaller for the same 6-inch screen compared to Kindle Paperwhite (169 mm x 117 mm x 9.1 mm), but stands out on the whole thickness of only 7.6 mm. The weight is less than 180 grams (188 version of Wi-Fi 3G) against 205 grams (217 Wi-Fi 3G) Papwerhite.
The shell is made of magnesium and plastic, while the front is adopted a scratch-resistant glass. Paperwhite also evolved compared to the backlight, not only manually adjustable, but also can automatically adapt to different conditions.
Since the human eye adapts progressively to the darkness, the integrated light-adjusting slowly lowers the brightness of the display with the passage of time in the same way in which the eye responds to the darkness.
Also new, is not insignificant, is the integration of technology curls. Directly below the frame is a pressure sensor, designed to change the page simply doing more pressure with the fingers that hold the e-book reader.
When you change the page Kindle Voyage provides a response to pressure in the form of slight vibration. You can customize both the level of pressure required to turn the page, and the level of tactile feedback.
