more the subtle design evolution, thinner, lighter and less angular, adding function Bluetooth audio for the visually impaired

less the price has not fallen, the lack of integrated lighting

Overview Although the 2016 version of the Kindle not mark a major change from the previous model, it remains a very good reading lamp with a design that has evolved to a significant improvement for the visually impaired.

the most affordable Kindle Amazon (70 euros) was treated to a makeover . The 2016 version is 11% thinner, 16% lighter, lines are softened and is available in black and white. These changes may seem small, but it makes the Kindle second lightest (161 gr) behind the Kindle Oasis (131 gr).

it weighs light when it was in hand, but note that its shell is hard and soft plastic that sometimes makes it a little slippery. As usual, Amazon offers protective cases with prices that start at 20 euros. One of the most notable absences compared to Kindle Paperwhite, Travel and Oasis is that of an integrated lighting. You should also remember that these models offer a higher resolution and that this entry does not Kindle a high-performance display (167 dots per inch against 300 dpi). But she is still equipped with a touch screen and has 4GB of storage, which saves thousands of eBooks. Amazon has doubled the amount of RAM to 512 MB, but we must admit that we have not seen any real difference.

The main novelty is the Bluetooth audio, a feature that allows the visually impaired to listen playback (VoiceView) via headphones or a wireless speaker. The setup is a little fussy, but we managed to make the system after a few tries. We unfortunately can not listen to music or audio books, but it is nice to have that voice back, was it the voice of a robot.

The Kindle has Wi Fie, there is no 3G-compatible model. The version for 70 euros displays advertisements at the opening of the Home screen but can be suppressed by adding 10 euros at the time of purchase.

As we often say it is important to know that the Amazon ebook material supply is the richest of all. Thousands of French titles, millions in English. Certainly there is competition with the Nook e-readers and Kobos that does not demerit (eg the Nook is tight unlike Kindle), but Amazon has a big head start with its catalog and additional features it offers.

Aside from the absence of integrated lighting, which pushes us generally recommend the Paperwhite, the Kindle offers an excellent price / quality ratio. Know enjoy the flash promotions that Amazon still regularly practice to pay a little less.

Animation and entertainment: Kindle ebooks in Motion hosts – without interest? – Media Group

The ebooks stamped Kindle in Motion show so newly old features: animation, illustration or even video display since it has the suitable reading device. Obviously, traditional ebook readers will not support this type of media content.

Currently, six ebooks are available with these elements and more, says the Digital Reader – four original novels and two books classic, all published by Amazon as a publishing house.
