Amazon introduced a new reader Kindle Voyage and an updated version of the basic "reader"
September - the month of the announcement of new devices from the company Amazon. This year, along with three Kindle Fire tablets, the largest American store also presented two e-books - Kindle and Kindle Voyage. Let's see what new Amazon is offering this time.
The standard version of the Kindle in the new version differs from its predecessor mainly in the method of control - the control is now fully touch. With a constant screen size of six inches, the dimensions have become slightly larger: 169x119x10.2 (against 166x115x8.7 in the 2012 version). “Reader” is now heavier than its predecessor by 20 grams (weight is 191 grams). The reader was equipped with a 20% faster processor, and increased the amount of internal memory to 4 GB.

Kindle will go on sale on October 2 at the price of $ 79 for the version with the promotional offer, while the version without advertising will cost $ 20 more.
The new Kindle Voyage model has become the most advanced in the Amazon e-book family, it has a 6-inch touch screen, which for the first time received a resolution of 1440x1080 (300ppi). The Kindle Voyage is also the most compact device in the Kindle lineup in the entire history - its dimensions are 162x115x7.6 mm. The weight of the "reading room" is also small - only 180 grams.
It is noted that the glass display Kindle Voyage made by a new technology to completely prevent glare in the sun. Due to the special surface treatment of the screen, touching it now feels like paper to the touch. Also, in the older Kindle model, a smart brightness auto-tuning system is implemented. In the management of the Kindle Voyage, it is important to note the appeared pop-ups, pressing on which leads to a vibration response.
You can buy Kindle Voyage starting from October 21st at a price of $ 199 (the version without ads will cost $ 20 more, for the 3G modification you will have to pay another $ 70 more).
This is not the first time Amazon has managed to deftly “twist” and pretend to be developing an electronic ink line. Last year, there were no actual updates in the Kindle series, not counting, of course, the “refinement” of Kindle Paperwhite. At the same time, the basic version of Kindle has not been substantially improved since 2011. The new look of the budget Kindle is almost an exact copy of the Kindle Touch, submitted three years ago, though now it is still a little easier and it will work a little faster. The current Kindle may have deliberately done more so that the expensive version of the Kindle Voyage won not only in functionality, but also attracted by its miniature. Do not forget that in the current line of readers Amazon remains Kindle Paperwhite, the price for which probably left the same (from $ 119) to slightly offset the high cost of the older model.
