Analysis Paperwhite Kindle: capacity & battery (III)

The Kindle Touch came with 4 GB of storage, but Amazon has given him the Kindle Paperwhite 2 GB, which is not a big problem because with 2 GB can hold about 1,100 books.

Amazon says the battery lasts about two months, even with the light turned on constantly and effectively, the battery lasts about that, and if you lower the lighting, maybe even can last longer. This is due to low battery consumption screen technology (E Ink).

Analysis Paperwhite Kindle: Light display (II)

Kindle This is the first bearer integrated lighting, therefore, it is now possible to read in the dark without any problem.

Amazon declined integrate you any light to his previous Kindle because there was no effective technology for producing light that would not distract from the reading - in other words, without reflection, that would not cause headache and not consume a lot of battery.

Amazon decided to create their own technology and the results are quite impressive. The light does not transmit light behind the screen, rather there are small lights around the display to achieve a consistent and effective lighting. The screen is still an E Ink, so no reflections on the screen, even in bright sunlight.

The illumination brightness can be easily adjusted by pressing on the top of the screen, there is present a few buttons, and if Pula on the icon that looks like a light bulb, a vertical bar appears with 24 levels, which slides up or down to turn off completely.

Amazon has also increased the number of pixels and the contrast on the Kindle Paperwhite, which means that words will be better, sharper, however, the truth is that the quality of the text and was very good on the Kindle Touch and difference is not very obvious. However, the reason this Kindle you have named 'Paperwhite' is because the screen is completely white and when you read a book combining sharpness and high contrast of the letters on the white background makes it seem as if the letters were printed directly onto white paper very clean and new. Furthermore, more pixels on the screen Kindle has the ability to use more sources. The Paperwhite given the option to choose from eight different sources to give an extra touch to the reading and also gives the option to change the font size easily.

Analysis Paperwhite Kindle (I)

The Kindle has outpaced Paperwhite gray we've seen in nearly every device from Amazon instead have chosen a black color tone very sensual.

They have managed to slim down to 9.1mm Paperwhite Kindle, which is similar to the thickness of the iPhone and an inch thinner than the Kindle Touch. In terms of weight, Paperwhite Kindle is very light and comfortable with a weight of 213 grams, while the 3G version weighs 222 grams.

One notable change is that there is no start button. To go home is to be pressed into the top of the screen and in the menu that appears, click on the icon that looks like a house. The truth is that this has been a good decision by Amazon, since it most likely will not be necessary to return to the home screen for weeks, or until you finish reading your book.

The plastic housing of this Kindle is also improved, and feels very high quality and durable. The back of the Kindle Paperwhite is similar to the Kindle Fire, soft rubber is of excellent quality that when we hold our Kindle, helps lead a very satisfying feeling and comfortable.
