The new Kindle Voyage e-reader is shockingly good (hands-on)

amazon has decided to unleash a slew of
tablets and most exciting one isn't a
tablet it's actually this reader it's
called the Kindle voyage and it's
available in October you can pre-order
it now and the big deal with the Kindle
voyage is it has this new screen it's
300 pixels per inch which is an upgrade
over the paperwhites 221 pixels per inch
and it's just gorgeous looking you can
take the the text settings and drop it
all the way down to the smallest and the
thing is still completely readable it's
great the screen is also completely
flush with the rest of the Kindle so
it's all the touch screen and everything
is all flat it's a glass that has a
special finish on it so that it's not
reflective in the Sun which is pretty
impressive and then the other thing
you'll note is there's these lines on
the side and this dot and you can just
sort of squeeze the sides of the Kindle
and it will page turn for you and then
you squeeze the dot to go back a page
works on either the left or the right
side and you don't have to squeeze very
hard so you don't have to move your
thumb and there's a tiny little haptic
feedback that happens when you squeeze
it as well the other thing that's really
great about the voyage is they have
changed the backlight on it it gets much
much brighter which is great but the
thing that I'm excited about is it's got
an auto brightness option and so instead
of just having to set the brightness
manually you can hit auto brightness and
what's really cool is if you're reading
in bed it will dim but then as you're
reading as it's on for longer and longer
it knows that your eyes are adjusting to
the darkness and will actually
continually dim the screen down lower
and lower so that it's not getting too
bright for your eyes so there you go
that is a new Kindle voyage it is way
lighter as well as thinner as the
previous Kindle paperwhite it's got this
magnesium shell it's available for $1.99
with with Kindle offers you can
pre-order it right now and it should be
shipping in October
