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

2014-09-17
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 you
