The New Kindle Touch Has Great Features
|
Amazon has again improved the reading experience with its latest version of Kindle Touch. Listening to the consumers of their products, Amazon gears its technological improvements of the Kindle line towards making the Touch simpler use, which adds to its enjoyment. Kindle's philosophy is to make their e-readers disappear in your hands as you get lost in a book. Another new model is the kindle fire.
The Kindle Touch has a multi-touch screen that can turn the page with a tap, or enlarge the screen image. You can browse the web with its built-in Wi-Fi capability of 802.11b/g/n, navigating easily. A virtual keyboard is there at your fingertips to take notes or send messages. If you come across a word that you are unsure of while reading, press down on that word, and the definition will appear on the screen. It has 250,000 entries from the New Oxford Dictionary stored in its memory. It is also possible to highlight and clip passages, and share it with friends or family using networks like Facebook and Twitter, without leaving the page.
The 6-inch Kindle Touch E-ink Pearl display screen is easy on the eyes with its 600 x 800 screen resolution at 167 pixels per inch. There are 8 adjustable text sizes and three different font styles to suit anyone's taste or eyesight. Kindle has created custom fonts and a font-hinting technology that will improve the legibility of words when using a small font size. According to the makers of the Kindle Touch, they use actual ink in their e-reader displays. I am not sure how that works, but I thought that sounded interesting, so I am passing it on to you.
The new Kindle Touch is 11% smaller and 8% lighter its predecessor. It is equipped with 4GB internal memory, of which 3GB is available for storing user content. The Touch is 6.8 inches high by 4.7 inches wide and weighs a mere 7.5 ounces. Battery life of course depends on usage, but according to the manufacturer, if you use the Kindle Touch for reading half an hour every day, and no other usage, the battery can last for up to two months without being recharged. Wi-Fi use, downloading, and shopping will drain the battery faster, but it can be fully recharged in four hours with an adapter. Additionally, it has rear mounted speakers and a stereo audio jack.
Besides enjoyable leisurely book and magazine reading, this e-reader has something that Kindle calls an X-ray feature. The X-ray in this case is a drill down that can call up word definitions, look for and bookmark key phrases and ideas. There are many audio books available for the hearing impaired. There are many pre-1923 books available at no charge, and you can even access Kindle books from your public library. Between the nook vs kindle, Amazon products have the advantage when it comes to book availability. |
