Kindle Voyage: Amazon's new high-end e-ink reader (hands-on)

2014-09-18
I'm David Carnot in here in the launch event where Amazon has a couple new e-ink ear eaters including the higher end Kindle voyage this is $199 model and what amazon has done is made it a little bit better performing it also has a little better brightness but it's also thinner it weighs only six point three ounces compared to the paperwhite which is at seven point eight ounces one of the notable difference between this model and the paperwhite is that it has a flush front there is no bezel and the glass on the front goes across the entire screen the touch sensitivity is supposedly a little bit better and Amazon has added a couple pressure-sensitive page turn buttons on either side you simply hold those down to turn the pages or you can touch the screen to turn pages the voyage costs $1.99 amazon also has a new entry-level model that costs only $79 that model is actually a touch screen model its IR based touchscreen so it isn't quite as sensitive as this models touch screen it's also a little bit thicker but Amazon was really trying to hit that price point of $79 all the new ink readers and the paperwhite does stay in the line they do go up to four gigabytes of memory instead of two gigabytes they also have the same one gigahertz processor this step of $199 voyage does have 512 K of RAM while the other models have 256 so it's a little bit zippier a new three-tiered Kindle ink line with a base model starting at $79 and the new high-end model The Voyage starting at $1.99 these will be available in cellular versions as well this is a Wi-Fi only for one they're available for pre-order now and they will be out in October
