Amazon
has released its new Kindle eBook reader – Voyage – in India at a price
of Rs 16,499 for the Wi-Fi variant and Rs 20,499 for the 3G variant.
The device is said to have many improvements over its predecessors along
with a thinner and lighter body. The e-book reader is available on
Amazon India.
In
terms of design, the Kindle Voyage features a 6-inch display with Carta
e-paper technology and adaptive front light that adjusts automatically.
It sports a magnesium back and a glass-flush front which uses
micro-etching to diffuse light to eliminate screen glare. It has an
internal storage of 4GB which is capable of holding over thousands of
books.
The
Kindle Voyage is just 7.6mm thin and the company claims that it is
their thinnest Kindle ever. It has a high-resolution display with
300ppi, which is twice as many pixels as Kindle Paperwhite. The display
is said to deliver crisp text which will read similar as on the printed
page. The new PagePress sensors added to the e-book will allow a user to
turn the page without lifting a finger, claims Amazon. This feature is
said to provide a silent haptic response for constant and immediate
feedback.
The
new front light on the Voyage will sense a user’s environment and will
automatically adjust the brightness. It can be adjusted manually as
well. In terms of battery, the Kindle Voyage will fully charge in
approximately 3 hours from a computer via USB cable. Amazon claims that a
single charge will lasts up to six weeks, based on a half hour of
reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at 10. Battery
life will also vary based on light setting and wireless usage.
In
terms of Wi-Fi connectivity, the Voyage supports public and private
Wi-Fi networks or hotspots that use the 802.11 b/g/n standards with
support for WEP, WPA and WPA2 security, using password authentication or
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
Similar
to other 3G Kindles, the Kindle Voyage 3G will come with free 3G in
over 100 countries across the world, which indicates that a user can
browse the Kindle store and download books without needing to connect to
Wi-Fi.
The device measures 162 mm x 115 mm x 7.6 mm. The Wi-Fi variant weighs 180g while the Wi-Fi + 3G variant weighs 188g.
