class=”c7″ For a few days all the lights had gone green on the update of the Kindle range. The first announcement will be the flagship for reading light for Amazon Kindle Paperwhite who had disappeared for a few days many sites, heralding the arrival of the next generation. Amazon therefore chose to wedge between the announcement of Kobo few days ago, ahead of Sony’s PRS-T3 announce at IFA a few hours.
Some improvements concerning the technical specifications
class=”c7″ The Paperwhite does not change look, no more than a name. But it is changing, as evidenced by the new specifications. Basic specifications of the reading light on the Amazon site will be found, as the memory of 2 GB, or the weight of 206 grams. I pass on this point to focus on the news.
class=”c9″ 
class=”c7″ Besides a faster processor than 25% which should give more fluidity to use and allow a change ever faster pages, all news concerning the
screen.class=”c11″
Side resolution, nothing changes, however, since is actually the same level of resolution than the previous Paperwhite, but also the same as Will the new Kobo, or 1024 x 768 to 212 dpi.

screen offers by Amazon as against a higher contrast to accentuate the white and black, Amazon announced that contrast level exists only on their reading light. Policies have also been particularly worked for more clarity.
class=”c7″ touch technology also has been improved. If the Kindle Paperwhite last year already proposed a multi-touch capacitive touch screen, the new screen would be more accurate with a “touch screen 19% tighter.”
An enlightened new generation screen has also been announced, although again we do not really know what has been improved and how developed.
class=”c7″
For Kindle Paperwhite Technology Amazon and how engineers worked on this screen. We will wait to see if it causes a significant change.
class=”c7″ In the end, all these improvements are very difficult to understand, and only taking into hands of real models will see exactly the extent of the changes that were made to the user, even if we can already say that it is only updated.
real news, in terms of functionality
class=”c7″
If no major change of the interface has been announced, we see that in the list of new features offered by Amazon, the most interesting is not in the technical specifications, but in reading the new features available.
class=”c7″
The page break, interactive vocabulary and intelligent search are thus added to the long list of features offered by Amazon reading, and demonstrate the growing importance of these features for users. As Kobo which relies heavily on these playback features, even on its shelves, Amazon continues to invest to differentiate themselves in this field.
class=”c11″Intelligent Search is a simple improvement: “L e dictionary now includes definitions Full enriched additional information from Wikipedia for words, people, subjects or books you are looking for. ” The presentation provides two tabs: one for English and one for Wikipedia, in a popup that appears when you select a word
.class=”c11″
class=”c11″
Interactive vocabulary is a new functionality to enrich its vocabulary with new words , to remember them, and test their knowledge through sheets of revisions. Amazon also offers this feature before with parents “All the words that your children see on their Kindle are automatically added to the Interactive Vocabulary. Your children can use flashcards to test their knowledge and easily memorize their new vocabulary. “

The page break is another novelty that quickly through a book, and to move from one section or another, or go to the end of the book without losing your page. The page you want to view is simply displayed as a popup, above.

Updates for new features
class=”c7″
All new features are not there yet. Expected among others certainly interesting additions that will be available via the integration of Goodreads, the social network of reading bought in March by Amazon . Many new features should be permitted in terms of social features in this integration, and in terms of recommendations.
class=”c7″ Other innovations could also happen with the future updates as Kindle FreeTime, the parental control system proposed so far only on the shelves and could happen on reading lights in an adapted form, allowing easier reading lights put in the hands of children.
class=”c7″
The brand new e-readers are available for pre-order now on the site Amazon at a price of € 129 for the Wi-Fi version and € 189 for the Wi-Fi + 3G release, and will be delivered from October 9 to the Wi-Fi version and November 12 for the 3G version.

The new Kindle Paperwhite is certainly the direct competitor of the Kobo Aura now with a lower price of 20 € positioning and differences that we do not fail to compare.
