Will the new Kindle Paperwhite announced by Amazon become an e -book leader beyond "perfect"?
The Amazon's e -book leader Kindle series is a device that is almost perfect.It is a palm -sized tablet device that can take the whole library on a weekend trip, and the battery has been a month.That's why Amazon may have taken this much time to improve it.Amazon has announced that it will renew Kindle Paperwhite for the first time since 2018 and launch three new models.
The new Kindle Paperwhite is currently scheduled to be deployed in three versions.The normal model is $ 140 (from 14,980 yen in Japan), the signature edition is $ 190 (from 19,980 yen), and the "kids model" is $ 160 (from ¥ 16,980).
All existing Kindle also has an interface update, and some of the Kindle at hand may have already been updated.We hope that this product, 14 years after its release, will remain in the future, but will be a better e -book leader.
Evolved into a bright display on a large screen
All three models of the new Kindle Paperwhite are 6.Equipped with a 8 -inch display.It is slightly larger than the old 6 inches, slightly smaller than the 7 -inch Kindle Oasis, which is the top model.
However, the new model is equipped with a color adjustment light mounted on Kindle Oasis, as well as dark mode.It is said that the screen will be up to 10 % brighter if it is set to the maximum.
The normal model battery is a tremendous length of 10 weeks (four weeks longer than the old model), with long-awaited high-speed USB-C charging port.But the most exciting new feature is that page sending will be 20 % faster.
When I first used Kindle, I remember that I was going to be forever in the drawer.Who did you know that turning over the “digital page” has a delay that makes you much more annoying than turning an analog book?
In the case of the signature edition, in addition to all the above functions, the existing model will increase the storage capacity of only 8GB to 32GB.The signature edition also has a brightness automatic adjustment function, so it is convenient for reading outdoors.It also supports wireless charging.
Regarding the waterproof performance, the 2018 model Kindle Paperwhite was IPX8 grade.In other words, it can withstand up to 60 minutes by sinking into a depth of 2m with fresh water.All three new models have IPX8 -grade waterproof functions, so children can enjoy reading on the poolside.
Like the conventional "Kindle Kids Model", this kids model has a free one -year subscription for "Amazon Kids+" for one year.Amazon Kids+is an Amazon flat -rate platform that distributes movies, books and games for children.It also comes with a two -year warranty and protective cover.
Amazon employees may be dissatisfied with the company's pledge on the climate, but the new Kindle Paperwhite is in line with the actions in Amazon's "Awise Description Control".According to Amazon, the new Kindle Paperwhite is produced using 60 % of playback plastic and 70 % of playback magnesium.The packing material uses recycled material, and it is said that it is a wooden fiber procured from "appropriately managed forests", although it is an ambiguous phrase.
Renewed UI
Already, Amazon has also launched software updates to all existing Kindle interfaces.Even those who have not yet will be updated immediately.
