The new e-book from Amazon combines a successful store touch screen, and doing local rival school. Only Hebrew has no
The Kindle Touch, the newest book reader Amazon company, is a product that supports the Hebrew language, you should say so in advance. Anyone who love to read literature in the language of Scripture, and not content with reading the image files, can pass over this product, simply did not allow them to do so.
But in Israel there are also enough people who love to read books in English, and for the new Kindle could be an ideal solution: a small e-book, smart and quick to help them save some money on their reading habits with excellent e-book store and Amazon's cheap.
So what is an eBook?
Kindle Electronic Book Touch is a multi touch screen e-ink technology produced. What does this mean?First - this is an ideal screen for reading books, e-ink technology displays high-contrast text and print quality reminiscent of ink on paper. Not only that reading this screen adopts the eyes much less reading the letters on the LCD screen (computer screen, your tablet or smart phone) - Kindle can also be used under direct sunlight because the screen does not return reflections.
These advantages come with disadvantages quite significant: first - the screen is black - white, which does not stop reading books but actually makes them ideal for other uses. Second - its refresh rate is very low, which means you can not see a video (or even a simple animation files) and the speed of your clicks his response is quite low. As stated - no great loss when it comes to the book, but quite a bummer when you try to use, say, the built-in Web browser device.
The new Kindle's design is very reminiscent of Apple's designs. He did less good-looking iPad, but a similar design line: most of the device is the touch screen (six inches), with a relatively thin frame around it and only two physical buttons - off button and a button that causes the device to return to his house.
Easy touch
Interaction with the device is made almost entirely through the touch screen. This is not the first e-book that uses this technology, but Amazon had promised before their launch-Touch that their going to make a revolution in the field, thanks to a patent called EasyReach.
The EasyReach splits the screen of the Kindle for three "touch zones" that make the experience of central control of the books easier: When you read a book, most of screen space devoted to the transfer of one page forward, thinking (correctly) that the most common operation when reading a book. The top three inches of the screen are used to open the menu, and a rim of his left side moves back one page. You can also use touch gestures like flicking a finger up and down - but it's much less convenient.
Distribution of this screen seems a little silly on paper, but in practice it works perfectly. It also allows to hold the device with only one hand and manipulate it without having to bend the thumb at all angles - what you can not tell the readers that are based on finger gestures only.
Made successful touchscreen Amazon finally abandon the design which is used in all previous generations of the Kindle, which included a relatively large physical keyboard under the screen. Keyboard help perform searches and control the device - but also made it quite awkward, and ultimately a little stealing the attention from the screen itself. Now, when the screen is the most machine, very easy to "forget" the environment and focus on words alone - that's what we want to do when we read books.
Not have the Steimatzky
The design is not the only thing that reminds us of Amazon where the dark. Kindle, ultimately, is a product "closed garden" clearly related to the e-book store Amazon. Sure, you can also load the device books have accomplished alone, but only if they are non-MOBI format so common.
Amazon's store purchase, however, completely intuitive: hardly any screen device has a clear button that takes you to the store - from which you can buy tens of thousands of books and sample chapters to download any book for free (to check before deciding to buy). Prices, at least compared to prices of books in English bookstores in Israel, very low: New books usually cost between ten and twenty dollars - when the older books are sold only a few dollars (and literary classics are offered for free download). Amazon also offer all day care changing book sold very big assumption - and the vast majority of service books also can be bought from Israel without any problems or tricks.
Books purchased through Amazon Store also include advanced features, including the possibility to read them out loud (in a computer and not so successful), or see "image x-ray their" - a new option and incredibly cool, showing information about the characters and the different places in the book that you read - excellent if you come back to tell after a few weeks of a break and want to remember what's what.
A price instrument itself is not bad: 99 dollars version of the Wi-Fi device that comes with advertisements that appear on menus and on-screen device opportune device in sleep mode (not to worry - it does not waste battery). You can buy a version with the Mobile Web, but because it is not supported in no real reason to do so, and could add $ 40 to remove the ads. Although the device was not sent directly to the country, but on missions like Mustop and Ushops offer very favorable conditions bring them to Israel.
Electronic Bookworm
Who loves to read books in English and not afraid of electronics can buy himself the Kindle without thinking twice: the successful touch interface, the big bookstore cheap and affordable price of the device itself makes it one of the best electronic books that can be achieved today.
