Đánh giá hành trình Kindle | Có thực sự đáng giá của nó?

Kindle Voyage đắt hơn Kindle Paperwhite E-Reader bán chạy nhất của Amazon, nhưng nó có thực sự đáng giá cao và tốt hơn Kindle Paperwhite không? Hãy cùng chúng tôi tìm hiểu trong Đánh giá Kindle Voyage.

Đánh giá hành trình Kindle

Để bắt đầu với Đánh giá Kindle Voyage này, trước tiên chúng ta hãy xem Thông số kỹ thuật Kindle Voyage theo định dạng bảng dễ hiểu. Sau này chúng ta có thể đi vào chi tiết về các thông số kỹ thuật chính.

* Giá có thể thay đổi do bán hàng / cung cấp.

Đánh giá Kindle Voyage - Kích thước & Thiết kế

• Kích thước - 6, 7 ″ x 4, 5 x 0, 30
• Trọng lượng - 180 ~ 188 gram

Kindle Voyage là một thiết bị nhỏ gọn và kiểu dáng đẹp với thân máy bằng nhựa magiê cứng cáp. Mặt sau của Kindle Voyage có các đường và cạnh, tương tự như ở Kindle Fire HD Tablet.

Cơ thể truyền magiê đã làm cho Kindle Voyage nhẹ hơn Kindle Paperwhite, giúp dễ dàng cầm bằng một tay.

Màn hình 6 Voy của Kindle Voyage được làm phẳng bằng các bezels, giúp dễ dàng vệ sinh. Một thay đổi khác trong Kindle Voyage là vị trí của Nút nguồn hiện nằm ở mặt sau của thiết bị, ở góc trên cùng bên trái của thiết bị (vị trí 11 giờ sáng).

Đánh giá Kindle Voyage - Màn hình & Hiển thị

• Màn hình - 6 screen Màn hình khắc kính, 300 ppi
• Độ phân giải - 300 ppi

Màn hình của Kindle Voyage được làm từ kính chống trầy xước, đã được khắc vi mô, để khuếch tán ánh sáng và giảm độ chói.

Mặc dù, màn hình trên Kindle Voyage giống với màn hình 300 PPI như trong Kindle Paperwhite, nhưng nó trông sáng và sắc nét hơn Kindle Paperwhite.

Đánh giá Kindle Voyage - Lần lượt trang

Kindle Voyage hỗ trợ hai phương pháp lật trang, bạn có thể lật trang bằng cử chỉ vuốt (Giống như trong Kindle Paperwhite) hoặc nhấn vào các cạnh bên để lật trang.

Phương pháp thứ hai được gọi là Page Press và lật trang trong trường hợp này được kích hoạt bởi hai cảm biến haptic nhạy áp lực được đặt ở hai bên của màn hình Kindle Voyage.

Như bạn có thể thấy trong hình ảnh bên dưới, Kindle Voyage có các cảm biến xoay trang nằm ở các cạnh bên của nó. Nhấn vào bất kỳ cảm biến nào (khung bên trái hoặc bên phải) sẽ kích hoạt lần lượt trang.

Vì, các cảm biến được đặt ở cả hai bên của màn hình, giúp người dùng tay phải và tay trái dễ dàng sử dụng Page Press để lật trang trên Kindle Voyage.

Mặc dù, các cảm biến xoay trang trông giống như các nút, chúng chỉ mang lại cảm giác nhấn nút vào ngón tay của bạn và không thực sự di chuyển như các nút thực.

Đánh giá Kindle Voyage - Chiếu sáng tích hợp

• Ánh sáng trong nhà - 6 đèn LED, cảm biến ánh sáng

Kindle Voyage được trang bị cảm biến ánh sáng, có khả năng phát hiện cường độ ánh sáng trong môi trường xung quanh bạn và tự động điều chỉnh mức độ chiếu sáng trên màn hình của nó đến mức độ sáng lý tưởng.

Cài đặt độ sáng lý tưởng trong Kindle Voyage dựa trên nghiên cứu của Amazon về độ sáng tối ưu cho mọi điều kiện ánh sáng. Trong trường hợp cần thiết, mức độ sáng có thể được điều chỉnh để phù hợp với sở thích cá nhân của riêng bạn.

Theo Amazon, Kindle Voyage cũng có khả năng tự động giảm độ sáng trong một khoảng thời gian để phù hợp với cách tự nhiên mà mắt người phản ứng với bóng tối.

Đánh giá Kindle Voyage - Lưu trữ

• Bộ nhớ trong - 4 GB
• Lưu trữ mở rộng - Không có

Kindle Voyage đi kèm với dung lượng lưu trữ nội bộ là 4 GB. Điều này theo Amazon là đủ tốt để lưu trữ hàng ngàn Sách điện tử. Không giống như Kindle Fire Tablets, Kindle Voyage không cung cấp tùy chọn mở rộng lưu trữ bằng thẻ micro-SD.

Đánh giá Kindle Voyage - Tuổi thọ pin

• Tuổi thọ pin - 6 tuần
• Thời gian sạc - 3 giờ

Pin trên Kindle Voyage được đánh giá có thể kéo dài tới 6 tuần cho một lần sạc. Theo Amazon, Pin trên Kindle Voyage mất khoảng 3 giờ để được sạc đầy.

• Kết nối - WiFi, WiFi + Di động

Bạn có thể mua Kindle Voyage chỉ trong các phiên bản WiFi hoặc WiFi + Cellular.

Kindle Voyage với hỗ trợ Cellular có chi phí cao hơn và cung cấp lợi thế là có thể tải xuống sách bất cứ lúc nào bằng cách sử dụng mạng Free Cellular do Amazon cung cấp.

Trong trường hợp chỉ có các kiểu máy WiFi, bạn sẽ chỉ có thể tải xuống sách khi có mạng WiFi. Theo chúng tôi, bạn nên mua Kindle Voyage mà không cần hỗ trợ Cellular, trừ khi bạn thường xuyên đi du lịch.

Phần kết luận

Kindle Voyage là một E-Reader chất lượng hàng đầu của Amazon với ánh sáng thích ứng và màn hình cực kỳ sắc nét. Nó có hầu hết mọi thứ dành cho nó, ngoại trừ giá của nó, cao hơn 80 đô la so với Paperwhite.

Do đó, bạn có thể muốn xem qua so sánh Kindle Paperwhite vs Voyage, trước khi đưa ra quyết định mua.

While all its other e-readers cost less than $150, Amazon is going upscale with the Kindle Voyage. This $200 device has a sleek new design, a brighter, crisper e-Ink display, and a fancy new page-turning method. Plus, it's got access to Amazon's huge library of inexpensive content. But, at $80 more than other e-readers, such as the Amazon Paperwhite, is the Voyage worth the trip?

Click to Enlarge The Amazon Kindle Voyage looks downright sexy; it's sleek, thin and lightweight. While it's a basic black rectangle with rounded corners--the same shape as the Paperwhite--a reinforced glass screen covers the front of the device, with a black bezel surrounding the E Ink screen.

Along the right and left bezels is a dot with a line beneath. These ingeniously serve as Amazon's new "physical" buttons, called PagePress, which are pressure-sensitive and also provide haptic feedback. Pressing the line will flip a book to the next page, and pressing the dot will take you back.

The rear of the Voyage is made of a single piece of magnesium for a durable and classy look. Each edge is angled up and out, reminiscent of the Amazon Fire tablet's design. The only actual button you'll see is the power button on the top right.

The Voyage weighs just 6.3 ounces (Wi-Fi only), and measures 6.4 x 4.5 x 0.3 inches. The $119 Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (6.7 x 4.6 x 0.4 inches; 7.3 ounces) and the Nook GlowLight (6.5 x 5 x 0.42 inches; 6.2 ounces) are both bigger and heavier.

Click to Enlarge  Side by side, text was crisp and clear on the Voyage, and easier on the eyes than the Paperwhite or GlowLight.

But Amazon's enhancements don't stop there. The flush front glass that covers the Voyage's front is micro-etched to reduce glare and feel more like a printed page. In bright light we didn't notice many reflections.

Like the Paperwhite, the Voyage also uses Amazon's front-light technology, which lets you read in the dark. Using our lightmeter, the Voyage measured a bright 496 lux, nearly identical to the GlowLight's 490 lux, and far brighter than the Paperwhite's 333 lux. Not only was it the brightest, but of the three, the Voyage also offered the most even lighting.

The light on the Voyage isn't just bright, it's smart. In the light's controls you can set the light to auto adjust based on the ambient light around you. In my well-lit living room, it auto adjusted to 9, but when I stepped outside on a bright day, the display auto-adjusted to 16. Plus, when it's time to read in bed, the light will gradually dim itself over an hour or so, as your eyes adjust to the light and you prepare to sleep.

User Interface

Click to Enlarge The Kindle's interface is as easy to navigate as always. The home screen lists recently viewed or downloaded titles as thumbnail images of the book covers. The top bar houses a series of icons for home, back, light, shopping, search, Goodreads and settings. This navigation bar can follow you into the content as you read it, but only as a drop-down menu when you tap the top of the page.

Just below the menu bar on the home page, you can toggle between your Amazon library of content in the cloud or what's on the device. Content can be sorted by type, title, author and most recently received. The second row of thumbnail images shows book recommendations. You can swipe across either row to advance the lists of books and magazines.

The menu button reveals options to shop, view ads, change to List View, create a content collection, check for new items, tweak the settings and open the browser. Interestingly, you can also set to read in landscape mode, instead of portrait.

Within a book, the menu options include displaying book or author descriptions. You can sync to the furthest page read, bookmark and open notes. Within a periodical, this bar allows you to "Clip This Article" for reading later.

The menu button also houses a couple new additions. FreeTime is Amazon's parental controls, extended even to e-readers. You can create profiles for up to four children in your family, which allows you to block access to the Kindle store, Web browser, Wikipedia and social sharing.

Reading Experience

Click to Enlarge When viewing Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, the Voyage offered sharper text and crisper images than either the Paperwhite or the GlowLight. Page turns were instantaneous and pretty much identical to the Kindle Paperwhite.

Although I've always preferred buttons to tapping or swiping, I found PagePress easy to use. In the settings, you can manually adjust both the amount of pressure required to turn a page and the amount of haptic feedback you get from pressing. You can also turn the page by tapping or swiping on the display. It also made the e-reader comfortable to hold with one hand. Simply holding my finger over the button didn't advance the pages on accident.

Amazon also adds some unique features to enhance the reading experience on all its e-readers.

As you're reading, if you press and hold on a word, a pop-up window will appear with options for the Dictionary, X-Ray and Wikipedia. Amazon's Vocabulary Builder will remember what words you pressed, and at any point, you can look up the words and test yourself (or your child) with flashcards.

X-Ray offers a CliffsNotes-like experience of a book, letting you know at a glance how often and where in a book a specific character or term appears. For example, using X-Ray when reading  The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, I could easily see that Bilbo Baggins Esquire dominates the book, but Gollum only appears in two sections.

Upcoming Features

Amazon plans to roll out an update this fall that will add more features to this already impressive e-reader. Word Wise, designed for those who are learning to read, automatically displays very short and simple definitions above difficult words. You can adjust how the device determines the difficulty level of the words by moving a slider.

Family Library solves one of my biggest gripes since the beginning of e-readers: the inability to easily share content across a family. Coming soon, you'll be able to link two adults' accounts. That means you'll have access to your e-books as well as your partner's.

Click to Enlarge The Voyage's on-screen keyboard features small square keys. Tapping one causes it to blink black for a moment, which is a bit distracting. The predictive typing feature helped compensate for errors, but I wish the keys offered haptic feedback. The lag in keeping up with my typing is noticeable, so don't expect to compose long messages or notes.

Kindle Content

Click to Enlarge Amazon's e-book library is best-in-class. The e-tailer offers millions of books, newspapers and magazines, as well as a huge library of exclusive titles (600,000). It also offers the best prices around. Among the most recent top 10 e-book fiction bestsellers, as listed by The New York Times, Amazon charged an average of $10, compared with $10.47 for Barnes & Noble and $12.19 for Kobo e-books.

Amazon also boasts more than 1 million titles for $4.99 or less and millions of out-of-copyright books for free. Anyone can download and read the first chapters of a book for free via Amazon's Sample feature. But if you subscribe to the Amazon Prime membership service (a one-month free trial followed by $99 per year), you can borrow from among hundreds of thousands of e-books. You get access to only one book at a time, but there are no due dates.

As an avid reader, I love the Kindle Matchbook feature. Through Matchbook you can purchase Kindle editions of Amazon print books you purchased as far back as 2007, for $2.99 or less. Also, Amazon now offers a Kindle First program where you can access one e-book a month ahead of its official release date. For Prime members this is free, otherwise it costs $1.99 per month.

Like Barnes & Noble and Kobo, Amazon lets users lend some Kindle books to other Kindle or Kindle app users. Eligible books -- those marked as Lending Enabled -- can be lent for up to 14 days. Recipients have seven days to accept, or the book is returned to your archives.

Non-Kindle Content

Outside the Amazon world, the Kindle supports TXT, PDF, DOC, DOCX, MOBI, PRC and HTML formats. That means you can download millions of free, out-of-copyright books from such sources as archive.org. The Kindle can also read JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP image files.

MORE: Best Google Reader Alternatives

Public libraries are also accessible from the new Kindle. E-books from more than 10,000 local institutions retain Kindle features such as notes and highlights. And when your e-book checkout expires, you can check it out again or buy it from the Kindle store.

Click to Enlarge Amazon's experimental browser on its e-readers is still as bare-bones as ever. From the home page Menu button, you're presented with a page of bookmarks that includes Amazon, Google.com, Yahoo and NYTimes.com. It look 11 seconds to load Laptopmag.com over a Wi-Fi connection, 14 seconds to load NYTimes.com and 12 seconds to load ESPN.com. We wouldn't recommend using this browser for Web searches, as it was buggy and there were a lot of flashes on the screen.

Battery Life

The Voyage should last up to six weeks, according to Amazon. That claim is based on a half hour of reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at a low 10. That's two weeks less than what is promised by the Amazon Paperwhite and the Nook GlowLight.

Configurations

Click to Enlarge Our review unit of the Kindle Voyage, which came with 3G built in and without ads on the lock screen, costs $269. If you can do without the ads and are happy with Wi-Fi only, you'll pay $199. That's still a pretty far cry from the Kindle Paperwhite, which costs just $119 and has many of the same features.

Bottom Line

Real bookworms know E Ink is the way to go when it comes to e-readers. And in the world of e-readers, the $199 Kindle Voyage is the best device yet. I love the glare-free, glass display, smart lighting and the PagePress page-turning buttons. For $80 less, you can pick up the Kindle Paperwhite, offers the same parental control features, and a front light for nighttime reading. But if you demand the very best reading experience and are willing to pay for it, the Voyage is simply fantastic.

Highest resolution e-reader display

Kindle Voyage features a high-resolution 300 ppi display for crisp, laser quality text. The micro-etched glass screen is crafted to eliminate glare and feel like paper to the touch.

Light that adjusts with you

Kindle Voyage can be read in bright sunlight or total darkness—and it's smart enough to know the difference. With an adaptive front light, Kindle Voyage senses the light in your environment, and changes the setting to the ideal brightness.

Effortless page turns

PagePress allows you to turn the page without lifting a finger. Simply apply pressure on the bezel to turn the page, and PagePress will provide a silent haptic response for consistent and immediate feedback.

Remarkably thin design

At just 7.6mm thin, you can comfortably hold Kindle Voyage in one hand for long reading sessions.

PagePress sensors with haptics

PagePress is a custom-designed force sensor made of carbon and silver, which reacts to a subtle increase of pressure, triggers a page-turn, and provides a haptic response only your thumb can perceive. Because PagePress has no moving parts, the haptics provide you with the most minimal indication that you have pressed the button, to reduce distraction from reading.

Sleek yet durable designs

Kindle Voyage was designed to come one step closer to a sheet of paper, with a flush-front bezel for a clean, streamlined design. With a magnesium back and a specially-reinforced glass front, Kindle Voyage is both durable and sleek.

High quality 300 ppi display

Kindle Voyage features a bright, high resolution and high contrast display. The micro-etched glass display diffuses light to eliminate glare and matches the feel of paper.

Adaptive front light

In order to more closely resemble reading on real paper, we researched and hand-tuned the optimal brightness setting for every lighting condition. The adaptive front light automatically adjusts the brightness of the display based on your environment, and can even be fine-tuned further to your personal preferences. When reading in the dark, the adaptive front light slowly lowers the display's brightness over time to match the way the eye responds to darkness.

Amazon Kindle Voyage review

The best e-reader gets better — for a price.

By Chris Ziegler

Share this story

If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

The humble e-reader is the evolutionary equivalent of a duck-billed platypus: at some point, it fell off the family tree. It’s been plotting its own course ever since, totally comfortable in its weirdness, utterly oblivious to the changes happening everywhere around it. That weirdness — the e-reader’s singular, purpose-suited design — has enabled it to survive the coming of the smartphone. It survived the tablet. If I had to guess, it’ll survive whatever comes next.

So, how do you build a better duck-billed platypus?

That’s the question that Amazon has to answer with the Kindle Voyage, the new flagship of the retail giant’s range of E Ink devices. The challenge is as unique as the product itself. Generally speaking, it’s pretty obvious how to make a phone or a tablet better — you always want it faster, thinner, prettier, and longer-lasting. But the Kindle Paperwhite , the new midrange (and outgoing king) of Amazon’s e-reader line, already lasts a month on a charge and is a mere fraction of the thickness of a single book that it replaces. The frontlit display is extraordinarily easy on the eyes for extended periods of time; apart from the display, an e-reader doesn’t really need to look good, it just needs to get out of the way. (Odds are you’ve got it in a case, anyway.)

At a glance, the Paperwhite seems like it’s at an evolutionary end. But life, as they say, finds a way.

The e-reader survived the smartphone, it survived the tablet, it'll survive whatever comes next

I won’t dwell on software, because the Voyage’s is essentially unchanged — it’s a simple touch-centric UI that gets the job done. Amazon is adding a couple cool new features that are coming to all recent Kindle models: Word Wise, which automatically shows brief definitions of difficult words between the lines of text, and a more flexible search function that will search across your library, Goodreads, and the Kindle Store.

What you’re really paying for with the Voyage, which starts at $199, is the hardware. The color of the Kindle Voyage’s chassis, like all Kindles in recent memory, is somewhere between dark gray and black. The 6-inch screen is the same size as the Paperwhite and the entry-level $79 Kindle. In other words, from a distance, it’s virtually anonymous. That’s fine — unlike a phone that’s constantly being pulled from your pocket, Kindles aren’t about hardware sizzle. The only thing you’re staring at is the screen.

If you look closer, though, the subtle differences start to emerge. The Voyage is the thinnest Kindle in Amazon’s lineup at 7.6mm (compare that to 9.1mm for the Paperwhite). It’s also marginally the lightest, but I wouldn’t say that any of this matters — recent Kindles certainly aren’t hard to hold for long stretches. The most noticeable change, really, is that the Voyage is the first Amazon e-reader with a completely flush display. That’s actually a big deal — older Kindles have a deep recess, maybe a millimeter or so, from the bezel down to the screen. It’s been ages since recessed displays were acceptable in any other category of touch-enabled device, and it has always lent touch Kindles (up to and including the Paperwhite) a vaguely cheap, disposable flavor. The flush mounting also makes the simple action of moving your thumb an inch or two to change pages a more seamless, effortless motion, because you’re not navigating a change in terrain along the way. That sounds like an insanely minor improvement, but if you’re a heavy reader flipping through hundreds or perhaps thousands of pages per week — as many Kindle owners likely are — it becomes a big deal.

Actually, with the Voyage, you may never move your thumb at all. A pair of gray lines and dots on either side of the front bezel can be touched lightly to advance the page or go back — "PagePress," in Amazon parlance. Haptic feedback gives your hand a little buzz as affirmation that the command has registered. I absolutely hated it at first; it felt like more effort, a return to the old-school buttons that touch Kindles were designed explicitly to escape. But after having spent a week with it, it’s wonderful. Once you find a comfortable way of holding the Voyage, you literally never need to move your hand — just apply a little pressure with your thumb (left or right will do, the device is ambidextrous) and the page changes. Both the level of pressure required to register a page change and the intensity of the haptic feedback can be tweaked in the device’s settings. And if you absolutely hate it, you can disable it entirely and just stick with the old Paperwhite method, touching the left and right sides of the actual screen to change pages.

Speaking of the screen, Amazon is touting that the Voyage’s 300dpi display is the best ever on an E Ink Kindle. They’re not lying: this is simply the best E Ink display I’ve ever seen. It’s certainly better than the gray-brown pages of the secondhand paperback you’re reading, and unless you’re really into $75 high-gloss coffee table books, it’s probably better looking than just about everything in your bookshelf. The Paperwhite was already fantastic both in terms of contrast and resolution, but if I looked closely enough, I could see ragged little edges on characters. On the Voyage, I can’t. It’s just smooth. Amazon has also improved the grayscaling to the point where graphics aren’t visibly dithered; clearly, as always, this device is primarily intended for text, but images (in the Kindle Store, for instance) won’t trigger your gag reflex.

A ghost-free, instantaneous-refresh E Ink display is the dream, but it just doesn’t exist yet

Alas, this screen isn’t perfect. I was hoping that it wouldn’t "ghost" — the uniquely E Ink phenomenon that leaves subtle remnants of old pages on the display — but it still does from time to time. And it doesn’t feel any faster on page turns than the Paperwhite; you’ll wait about a half second every time. A ghost-free, instantaneous-refresh E Ink display (with full color, while we’re at it) is the dream, but it just doesn’t exist yet.

Amazon also touts the anti-reflective etching on the glass that covers the Voyage’s screen, which has apparently been designed to feel like paper. I honestly can’t see or feel any improvement here — Kindles have always been fantastic at mimicking the readability of an actual book, and this one is no different. It’s fine, but if the feel of a physical page is what’s stopping you from going digital, you shouldn’t expect the Voyage to convince you.

The frontlighting is still a game changer in this product category

The frontlighting on the Voyage’s screen isn’t appreciably different or better than the Paperwhite’s; it might be just a touch more even, but not to the point of making a difference. It’s still a game changer in this product category — it’s the feature that really catapults e-readers beyond books, simply by making them readable in any light. The Voyage does get the added benefit of an ambient light sensor — a first for Kindle — and it’s super useful: as a Paperwhite user, I’m constantly tapping to open the menu at the top of the screen and playing with frontlight intensity depending on the room I’m in or the time of day. Finally, it’s managed automatically, and it works well; there’s even an optional "Nightlight" mode that gradually changes the brightness so it’s not a distraction. As usual, Amazon measures this Kindle’s battery life in weeks, not hours or days; in my week with it the battery seems to have drained around 25 percent with moderate use. Basically, unless you’re lost in the woods for months on end, the battery isn’t going to be a concern.

While testing the Voyage, I also had the $79 Kindle , which replaces the old $69 non-touch model. It’s a great entry-level option and a good device for children, but it feels cheap, particularly next to the top-of-the-line Voyage. I didn’t mind the $79 model’s thicker shell or cheaper plastic, but the screen is in an entirely different category. The contrast is not good at all, and perhaps worse, it doesn’t have the lauded frontlighting system that makes the Paperwhite and Voyage usable in any environment. For E Ink skeptics, it’s a far less convincing product.

The back of the device harkens back to the bizarre first-generation Kindle just a little bit with its harsh lines and angles (don’t worry, it’s tasteful). The power button has been moved back here from the bottom edge, which is a little odd, but you’ll probably never touch it if you’re using a case — a magnetic latch automatically powers the Voyage on when opened and sleeps it when closed.

Unfortunately, the official Amazon case for the Voyage is not good. It attaches to the device magnetically, which is cool, but it inexplicably flips over the top, not from right to left — you know, like a book does . It’s also an origami case, meaning it can be folded up to prop the Voyage upright on a surface. Origami cases make sense for tablets, but for the life of me I don’t know why you’d want one for a Kindle; you’re not going to be watching a movie on it. All it does is make the case’s cover needlessly floppy and annoying to open and close.

On the whole, Amazon accomplished its goal: it built a better platypus. This is the best E Ink e-reader I’ve used, and it’s unquestionably the best that Amazon has ever made. The thing is, it’s only marginally better than the fantastic Paperwhite in several ways, and significantly better in none. Amazon is also asking a lot of money for the Voyage — it starts at $199, while a 3G model without special offers runs $289. Not since the final days of the doomed Kindle DX has an Amazon e-reader brushed up against the $300 mark.

The Voyage is an easy recommendation — but if you’re on a budget, the $119 Paperwhite (which is staying in the lineup) is still the way to go. The Voyage is a joy to use and a wonderful way to read; only voracious readers with laser-sharp eyes, though, will find it $80 better.

Amazon kindle voyage review: a first-class trip.

With tablet devices available in all shapes and prices these days it's amazing that eBook readers are still holding their own. But not only do Amazon's Kindle devices persistently perform well, the company regularly refreshes its range to keep things interesting.

Our quick take

That's really what it all boils down to: the price. There is little doubt that the Amazon Kindle Voyage is the best eBook reader on the market, with few if any flaws. We're still not entirely sure the haptic feedback for turning through pages is more than a gimmick, but can see the allure it might have.

However, it is a very expensive bit of kit to read downloaded books on, even if it caters for that with such aplomb. The Voyage is priced roughly the same as eBook readers were when they first emerged onto the market and we didn't have tablets to rival them then - hence this perhaps being the end of its long journey.

That said, those who do have enough disposable income to invest in different toys for different purposes will love the Kindle Voyage. It is not only a technological marvel in its field, but is an object of beauty to look at and hold. It is the Ferrari of eBook readers. And carries the price tag that goes with that distinction.

Amazon Kindle Voyage - 4.5 / 5

That said, the aptly named Kindle Voyage feels like the end of a journey. Not because we can no longer see the need for a device that is locked to almost just one purpose, but because it will be hard to see how it can be topped. Bar a colour Kindle in the future - which may or may not even be needed - the Voyage is the best eBook reader you could possibly ever own.

That comes at a price, though, which is its biggest drawback by far. But if you want the best you will have to pay for it.

At £169 for the Wi-Fi-only model, and £229 for the 3G version, the Kindle Voyage is more expensive than a decent Android tablet, such as the Tesco Hudl 2 or even Amazon's own Fire HD 6 or HD 7 devices, yet does only a fraction of the things a tablet is capable of. So what is it about the Voyage that makes it worth the money?

A thing of beauty

Its build quality is clearly head and shoulders above other eBook readers on the market. The device is incredibly light, at just 180g for the Wi-Fi model (the one we've tested here), and it is super thin, measuring 7.8mm at its thickest point. The rear cover is matt and made of magnesium which is non-slip for comfortable reading, while the front touchscreen is more tablet-like as the panel is made of one glass panel that stretches to each edge.

The screen itself has been dramatically improved over other Kindle models, with a 6-inch display featuring Carta e-paper tech with a 300ppi pixel density. In reality, this means sharper text and a greater contrast ratio, more accurately aping printed words on paper.

The front light this time around is adaptive thanks to an ambient light sensor. That means it will change in brightness based on your surroundings, plus you can set the ideal brightness yourself and the reader will adjust based on those parameters.

Brilliant battery

The LED lighting is always on as well, not requiring much power to work, so makes reading in daylight easier on the eyes as well as at night. And even when used regularly with the light at almost full pelt, we've found battery life to last around a month. Amazon claims a single charge will last up to six weeks if you read around half an hour a day with the light at half-strength and that seems reasonable based on our experience.

You can of course also turn off the light and the Wi-Fi if you don't use Kindle Store very much or the Smart Look Up intelligent dictionary service, which requires the internet connection if you also want the Wikipedia entry.

The Smart Look Up dictionary service is useful, where you tap on a word and it presents its definition in a pop-up on screen. There is also an enhanced version of X-Ray, Amazon's proprietary service that deep dives into passages of a book to present salient facts on some of its contents. Other new features that have been added through a recent software update, including the Family Library feature to share eBooks with other Amazon account members in the family, and Word Wise which will show explanations in small above difficult-to-understand words for children and those learning a new language.

We feel you might as well leave all of such internet-based feature active to get the complete Voyage experience. And a month of use is a very long time between charges.

Better than the sun

That's one of the benefits the Voyage has over a tablet, partly justifying its reason for being. Another is the age old "better to read in the sun" selling point. All eBook readers, thanks to their E Ink displays, are easier to read in the sun than a glass-fronted tablet. And the same is true of the Voyage, even though it also has a glass frontage.

The front panel has been micro-etched, a process that both diffuses light rather than reflecting it and feels more matte to the touch, like a conventional eBook reader screen. Touch controls are no less sensitive because of it, but it really does mean that you can carry on reading, even in very bright ambient light.

Haptic feedback

The front of the device also has a couple of visible lines on the bezel either side of the screen. These illustrate where the PagePress sensors are, which are used to turn pages. As well as turn pages of whatever you're reading in the traditional touch way, by tapping either side of the on-screen text, you can also exert a little pressure onto the right or left sides of the bezel. This will turn the pages and emit a slight haptic vibration to tell you it has recognised your action.

To be honest, we found just tapping the screen was just as efficient and easy, as we've been doing on other touchscreen eBook readers for years. Had we the option of losing the PagePress functionality in favour of a lower price, we'd go for that. Still, new technologies and that. And no doubt many users will like the feature.

There are no visible buttons on the Voyage at all, with the only switch being a power button on the rear. Keeps it all neat and tidy.

Extra power

The final major tech feature worth noting is the processor. Amazon is always cagey about revealing the exact tech spec, so we're not entirely sure what chipset is driving the device, but what we do know is the Kindle Voyage is super quick - faster than any other existing model of Kindle, that's for sure.

Those looking to upgrade from an older Kindle will be gobsmacked just how rapidly the screen refreshes on the Voyage. E-paper devices have always had the issue of ghost text remaining for a while after a page turn, not so the Voyage. It's still not quite LCD or OLED fast but then it doesn't require the power of those screen technologies.

The simple act of purchasing and reading books is the Voyage's raison d'être and in that department it is superb. There is 4GB of on-board storage that can hold thousands of downloaded books. Admittedly, no SD card slot is present, so you can't expand upon that, but you do get unlimited cloud storage for all titles you buy from Amazon, which will remember your bookmarks even if they are not downloaded to the Voyage itself.

Some might whinge about the different file types understood by the Kindle, with EPUB most notably absent (it does recognise MOBI files, as well as its own AZW books though), but considering Amazon is the largest seller of digital titles in the world, it is likely you'll buy all your books from it in the first place. Especially if you're willing to pay £169 or more for the device to read them on.

We've also been using the Origami Case which acts is a fantastic stand, but will add an additional £40 to your order.

Amazon Kindle Voyage review

Sharper, brighter and quicker, amazon's kindle voyage is its finest ereader yet.

“This is, without question, the best Kindle ebook reader yet. Between the improved specs and Amazon’s reading ecosystem, it’s the best E Ink reader you can buy.”

• Great Screen
• Slim Profile
• Excellent overall reading ecosystem
• No expandable storage
• More locked down ecosystem than competing readers

This time last year, Amazon seemed content to rest on its ebook reader laurels. That’s no knock against the last Kindle Paperwhite. It was a fine device, but at its heart, the reader was little more than a slight upgrade, a mostly modest refining of its predecessor’s shortcomings aimed at offering some reassurance that the company hadn’t completely abandoned the space for $200 tablets. At the time, we called it a “holding pattern.”

If nothing else, the Kindle Voyage is a sign that the ebook ship  hasn’t sailed. Amazon still has some R&D money to spend on the space, and it’s willing to gamble that big-time readers are still willing to shell out a bit of their own hard-earned money on just such a device. Lots of it, in fact. This time out, Amazon eschewed its longstanding view of the Kindle as a content delivery device, instead delivering a reader with premium specs that’s as focused on cutting-edge hardware as it is the books it’s delivering.

• The best Kindle for reading outside, at night, and more
• Amazon is adding 4 big features to your Kindle Scribe — here’s what’s new
• Amazon just added 3 of the Kindle Scribe’s biggest missing features

The Kindle Voyage is a sign that the ebook ship  hasn’t sailed.

The new Kindle also comes with a starting price of $200 — that’s a number that includes the company’s “Special Offers” (built-in advertising). Dumping that adds $20 to the price, and 3G will set you back another $70. All told, it’s a pretty sizable premium over the base Kindle’s $70 starting price. That translates to a lot of books.

A svelter Kindle

With this generation, the Kindle finally sheds its plastic bezel, following the lead of Kobo’s high-end Aura devices. The display and bezel are now one contiguous piece, which serves to not only make the reader more aesthetically pleasing, but also shaves a few precious fractions of an inch from its footprint.

The reader is noticeably smaller in each dimension, down to 6.4 x 4.5 x 0.30 inches from 6.7 x 4.6 x 0.36 inches. It was possible to slip the Paperwhite in the front pocket of a pair of jeans, but this time you can manage it with minimal maneuvering, making the reader portable. At 6.3 ounces for the Wi-Fi version and 6.6 ounces for 3G, Amazon’s also managed to shed a full ounce, just in time for fall coat season.

Even more interesting than the flush bezel is Amazon’s return to page-turn buttons. Unlike the Nook Simple Touch, the Kindle shed all of its buttons, save for power when it made the move to touchscreen. This was long a pet peeve of of mine, as a frequent one-handed subway reader (gotta be mindful of those sudden stops). Now, the company has maneuvered its way back into my good graces with the inclusion of not two, but four buttons devoted to the cause.

The touch spots are designation by dots and lines. You can either tap sides with a thumb or give them a good, hearty squeeze, the latter of which will respond with a friendly haptic buzz. Strangely, holding down on the button won’t make the pages to flip continuous, but rapidly pressing down will cause things to turn pretty fast.

The display and bezel are now one contiguous piece.

The power button has been moved to the back as well, thanks to the slimmer profile. It’s actually an ideal position for turning the device on and off while holding it in the reading position.

The back is also emblazoned with a huge Amazon logo smack dab in the middle. All-in-all, there’s a lot going on back there, and, from an aesthetic standpoint, we’d be lying if we said we weren’t partial to the simplicity of older Kindles. But let’s be honest: If you’re shelling out $200 plus a reader, you’re going to want a case for the thing, which means you likely won’t be spending a lot of time staring at the back anyway.

And really, that’s an extremely minor quibble. At its heart, the hardware is the product of a company with years of experience in a space pulling out all the stops, and it’s a lovely thing to behold.

Under the hood

Amazon never did come around on expandable storage. But while we’d certainly never turn down the option, its relative merits have become less pronounced over the years, between all of Amazon’s cloud-based storage, cross-platform syncing, and internal storage increases. A couple of months back, the company quietly doubled the Paperwhite’s storage from 2GB to 4GB and the company carried that number over to the Voyage.

That translates to 3GB of space for books. Amazon’s apparently given up on keeping track of the number of books you can store on the thing, just listing “thousands” as the number in the product’s specs. If that’s not enough, the company still has a list of every book you’ve purchased along with where you left off easily accessible in the Cloud tab on the device’s main menu.

Per usual, Amazon’s mum on processor specifics, stating that chip is “20 percent faster” this go-round. That’s compared to a 1GHz model on the second-gen Paperwhite. You’re unlikely to notice that difference while reading. Placed side by side against the last generation, there’s no discernible difference in page-turn speed. The Voyage is, on the other hand, noticeably zippier when performing bigger tasks, such as opening a book.

At this point, what you’re looking at is pretty comparable to the printed page.

Speaking of wireless, the options are the same as always: Wi-Fi and 3G. Given the $70 price difference, the base model will be plenty connected enough for most users. Frequent traveling voracious readers who really hate waiting on the other hand, might want to cough up the difference — which, it’s worth pointing out, is nearly the same price as the base Kindle model.

It’s really bright

Kobo experiments aside, the industry has settled pretty comfortably into the six-inch display. And it’s hard to argue that it’s not the ideal size for most readers. Five inches just doesn’t afford enough real estate and seven starts getting unwieldy.

But while the size has remained largely the same, the screens have continued to get better with nearly every generation. At 300ppi (pixels per inch), the Voyage feels like it’s skipped a generation. That’s light years beyond the base Kindle’s 167 and the latest Paperwhite’s 212. It’s even well above the Kobo Aura HD’s 265, which played a major role securing that device’s position as the Cadillac of ebook readers when it was released nine months ago.

What that means for most users is incredibly sharp text. If you’re prone to reading newspapers or magazines on the device, you’ll be getting higher-res grayscale images, but for the rest of us, it means the text really pops. At this point, what you’re looking at is pretty comparable to the printed page. Keep in mind, the screen on last year’s Paperwhite is perfectly fine, but placed next to the Voyage, the text looks downright soft.

The contrast is even more pronounced when the front lighting is turned on. Once again, you accomplish that in the touchscreen settings. Amazon never did go in for the devoted light button, which has always come down to a matter of personal preference. The point is made even more moot with the introduction of the adaptive light.

If you hold the reader at the right angle, you’ll see a small circle next to the top-right corner of the display which looks a bit like an opaque front-facing camera. That’s actually a light sensor. Tick the box next to the light meter in settings and the screen will automatically adjust based on the light level of the room you’re in — a great addition to save both your battery and eyes.

The waterproof Kindle can’t be that far off, right?

The Voyage gets bright: really, really bright. Helped along, perhaps, by the lack of display gap, the new Kindle may, in fact, hurt your eyes at full brightness in a dark room. The flush screen has also helped to alleviate light bleed from the sides, since there isn’t as much direct front lighting exposed off the screen. And while the display still isn’t a perfectly white color, the added brightness has taken the reader yet another step in that direction. The first-generation front-light readers look downright murky by comparison.

E Ink continues to be the best option for devoted electronic reading. It’s easier on the eyes, readable in direct sunlight, and can milk a heck of a lot of time out of a battery. It also keeps getting better year after year.

Reading experience

Not much has changed on the reading front, and that’s not a bad thing. Amazon’s had several years to get this right and has happily recognized that, on a whole, simpler is better. If you wanted distraction, you’d buy a Kindle Fire or any of the other innumerable tablets out there. As such, the layout is nearly identical to older Kindles. You still get the same eight text sizes and six font styles, with all the same margin and spacing options.

The touchscreen is extremely responsive and pages turn quickly. Amazon has never eliminated those full-screen refreshes, but it has greatly reduced them over past years. The frequency of flickers you get while turning the pages differs based on the number of non-textual elements in a book. I noticed a full-page refresh once every 14 pages, or some on purely text title — that’s down from every six a couple of generations ago. The display recognizes some dual-touch gestures, as well, so you can, say, pinch to adjust the font sizes.

Now on its seventh generation, Amazon has built up an extremely robust ecosystem of extras, piece by piece. X-Ray brings plenty of contextual and supplemental information to the reading experience via Wikipedia, The Oxford English and publisher-provided information, while Goodreads brings a social element to the reading experience. The company still has a ways to go to fully integrate the social network’s recommendations into device, but it’s a tricky thing to do so without making it overly distracting.

There aren’t a whole lot of brand-new features on the software side, this time out. As with the first-generation Paperwhite, a few features are still listed as “coming soon,” destined to roll out with a future software update. Among them is Word Wise, which brings automatic definitions to denser titles with more difficult words.

There’s also an improved search that combines results from the library, store, and friends on Goodreads. Coming Soon is also neat. It offers up contextual information about a book as you start to read. Again, it’s not a lot of new stuff, but seven generations is a lot of time to get the relatively simple reading experience just right, and no one does it better than Amazon.

In spite of Barnes & Noble’s absence and Sony’s relative silence, the devoted ebook reader arms race hasn’t ended. Kobo is pushing the space’s limitations and Amazon is following suit, incorporating new technologies into its mainstream products. The Aura HD showed us there is room for a high-end reader and the Voyage does a great job turning those features into a flagship reader.

At $200 and up, this is a pricey book reader for Amazon. Most of you will be plenty content buying a cheaper Kindle. The Paperwhite, for example, is still a fine reader made even better with that quiet storage doubling, all with a $120 starting price. The new Kobo Aura H20, meanwhile, will set you back $180, with the added bonus of being able to read the thing in the tub.

If you’re an everyday reader and can’t really remember the last time you left the house without a book — electronic or otherwise — in tow, the overall improved reading experience may be well worth the price of admission. This is, without question, the best Kindle ebook reader yet. Heck, between the improved specs and Amazon’s industry-best reading ecosystem, it’s the best devoted e-reader you can buy.

Casual readers, on the other hand, are better off waiting for the inevitable price drops, first when sales slow a bit and then when the company gets ready for a follow up. The waterproof Kindle can’t be that far off, right?

Just over a week ago, Amazon added four new members to its Fire family of budget tablets. And today, during its Devices and Services event, Amazon announced it is bringing some of the tablet fun to its Kindle e-reader portfolio. And by tablet fun, we mean the ability to draw gibberish on the screen with a stylus.

If you've ever looked longingly at the reMArkable 2 paper tablet and wished that the stylus input somehow made it to a Kindle, your prayers have been answered. Say hello to the Kindle Scribe, Amazon's next-gen e-book reader that will let you scribble with a stylus.

Books are wonderful things, and if you have a mini library at home, we're willing to bet you wouldn't trade all of them for an e-book reader loaded down with your favorites. But while they may lack the tactile nature of a book, an e-book reader is still something every keen reader should consider. Many of the models available come with backlights so you can read in lower light, can make the font bigger to suit your needs, and are small enough to slip into a pocket — and e-book readers are always going to beat physical books when it comes to going on holiday, especially if you're a fast reader.

But which e-book reader should you buy? There's no shortage of great readers out there, and while Amazon's Kindle Oasis may be the biggest name that nearly everyone knows, there are other options available if you're looking to get an e-reader that's not tied to the world's largest shopping site. Here are the best e-book readers for 2022.

Amazon's Kindle is getting even better this week with a new model that introduces a new display, a more compact design, and support for USB-C. It's nothing that'll replace your Kindle Oasis, but if you want a Kindle while spending as little as possible, there's a lot to like with the new baseline option.

This 2022 Kindle release will see the baseline Kindle pick up a high-resolution display that's capable of dark mode, support for USB-C, 16GB of storage, and extended battery life with up to six weeks on a single charge. The Kids edition of the tablet will, like other Kids edition tablets, comes with a kid-friendly cover and a free subscription to Amazon's Kids+ service.

Kindle Voyage e-reader: Amazon's thinnest Kindle yet coming in October for $199 (hands-on)

Amazon's unveiled two new e-readers: the higher-end Kindle Voyage and a new entry-level Kindle ($79), which sports a touchscreen interface but no built-in light.

• Maggie Award for Best Regularly Featured Web Column/Consumer

Amazon's dream is to someday make a Kindle e-reader as slim as a piece of paper. Or so says Amazon Kindle vice president Dave Limp, who was on hand in New York to unveil two new e-ink Kindle e-readers, the $199 Kindle Voyage and Kindle (2014), a new entry-level Kindle that starts at $79. Both are available for pre-order now and will ship in October.

Amazon still has a long way to get to that goal, Limp admits. But the Voyage, measuring 7.6mm and weighing less than 6.4 ounces (181 grams), gets it a little closer. By contrast, the existing Kindle Paperwhite, which remains on sale for $119 with a bump from 2GB to 4GB of memory, weighs 7.3 ounces (206 grams).

The Voyage is the first Kindle e-ink reader to feature a flush glass front and magnesium back and it's the nicest Kindle I've used. In some ways it resembles the Kobo Aura, which weighs 174 grams and also has a flush glass front and similar specs (1GHz processor, 4GB of memory, built-in light). There's also the new $179.99 Kobo Aura H2O , a 6.8-inch waterproof e-reader that sports a similar Carta E Ink HD touchscreen to the Voyage (1430x1080 resolution, 265 dpi) and has a memory expansion port. But the Voyage is sleeker.

Amazon says the Voyage uses a brand new Paperwhite display, with "the highest resolution, highest contrast, and highest brightness of any Kindle." It has 300 pixels per inch (PPI) and its display stack uses chemically strengthened glass, which Amazon says is designed to resist scratches. Also, the cover glass is micro-etched to diffuse light and reduce glare.

Amazon has also equipped the Voyage with a couple of pressure-sensitive page-turn buttons (you can also just touch the screen to turn the page) and they worked well. You keep your thumb resting on the button and then press lightly to make the page turn forward or back, depending on whether you touch the top or bottom button. You also get some haptic feedback -- a slight buzz on your finger -- with each page turn. Amazon calls the new feature PagePress.

I put the Voyage next to the Paperwhite and turned both lights to the highest brightness setting and the Voyage's screen indeed appeared brighter and whiter and the light splayed across the screen a bit more uniformly. Everything's a little better with the Voyage, but the reading experience remains just fine with the Paperwhite.

New budget Kindle

For $79, you can pick up the new Kindle (2014), which replaces the previous model that didn't have a touchscreen. It's worth noting, however, that the entry-level Kindle's touchscreen isn't the same as the capacitive touchscreens of the Paperwhite and Voyage. It's the older, IR-based touchscreen (IR sensors are embedded in the bezel).

Kindle 2014 product photos

In any case, I was told by Amazon reps that having the touchscreen allows Amazon to use the same operating system across all three e-readers, all of which now run on 1GHz processors and have 4GB of built-in memory. So that should help streamline updates in the future and give users access to the same features, no matter what Kindle they own.

Worth $199?

Some people may balk at the price of the Voyage, especially with Amazon selling the Fire HD 6 tablet for $99. But there's been a trend lately by companies, like Kobo, toward creating higher-end e-readers which retail for closer to $200. They're targeted at heavy readers who want the best dedicated e-reader available.

In addition to the $199 base model, Amazon is offering a Voyage with built-in 3G data (for Amazon content downloads only) for $269. As usual, both models require an additional $20 charge to remove the embedded ads on the homescreen and lock screen.

Our full reviews of both the Kindle Voyage and Kindle (2014) will post as soon as we get final shipping products and spend some time comparing them to existing products on the market.

The Kindle Voyage is Still the Best 6-inch Kindle

September 19, 2020 by Nathan 38 Comments

Amazon released the Kindle Voyage back in November 2014, and to this day it’s still the best 6-inch ebook reader that Amazon has released. It has the best screen and the nicest design. Some even consider it the best Kindle ever because they don’t like the asymmetrical design of the Kindle Oasis.

How often does a company release a product that was better 6 years ago than what they offer today? It’s pretty strange when you think about it.

I’ll admit, I didn’t love the Kindle Voyage when it first came out. The first one I got had a really blotchy frontlight with a distracting gradient. But some years back I picked up a used Kindle Voyage on eBay that was in like new condition and it has a much better frontlight than the first one I had.

Of all the ebook readers that have been released since 2014, I still choose to use the Kindle Voyage when I’m away from the house because the streamlined design fits in a pocket easier than the Kindle Oasis, and the reason I like the Kindle Voyage better than other 6-inch ereaders is the fact that the screen is super crisp and clear—something that hasn’t been replicated since frontlight and capacitive touchscreen layers started degrading the clarity of E Ink screens.

Back before frontlights and capacitive touchscreens were a common feature on ebook readers, E Ink screens had an exceptionally clear quality to them, where the text almost appeared to float above the background, even on lower resolution screens. Unfortunately those days are long gone now that everything has touchscreens and frontlights, but something about the Kindle Voyage’s screen made it appear clearer than others, despite having a glass layer over the screen.

Another thing I like about the Kindle Voyage is the page sensor buttons along each side of the screen. I don’t like having to readjust my thumb with every page turn so having a button to press down on is essential for me.

The only thing I don’t like about the Voyage is the bezels are so narrow it’s impossible for my thumb not to inadvertently interact with the touchscreen. Luckily when using a cover it adds just enough thickness to the side so I can use the buttons without activating the touchscreen (it would be nice if the Voyage had the ability to disable the touchscreen like newer models).

I find it odd that I’d still rather use a Kindle Voyage that’s six years old over any of the newer 6-inch Kindles and other 6-inch models. I do like the physical page buttons on the Kindle Oasis better, and I do find it a bit more comfortable to hold with the asymmetrical design, but the portability factor takes a hit because it’s too wide to comfortably fit in a pocket, and the Voyage still has slightly better contrast and better battery life.

Who else still prefers using a Kindle Voyage after all these years? It’s a shame Amazon never released a newer version, and it’s been so long since the Voyage was produced they can only be found used these days. Even all the refurbished stock has dried up.

My Voyage’s battery is getting weaker after almost 6 years. Nothing bad, it will last for another 4-5 years with a bit of luck. That butterfly cover, as you said, add just enough on the sides. And it’s the best thing to have to put your Kindle on the table on an airplane. I actually don’t appreciate the buttons on the sides. I still automatically touch the screen to turn a page. Overall I totally agree with you and I even wrote to Amazon: it is the best Kindle of all!

September 20, 2020 at 6:04 pm

There is a YouTube video on replacing the battery on the Kindle Voyage. https://youtu.be/zFqBrIE4mT0

September 20, 2020 at 6:05 pm

I still have the Voyage and is still great.

September 19, 2020 at 11:13 am

I think it’s the best 6 inch Kindle when the light is turned off. Deep pitch black inky fonts, slim sexy design with nice curves. Light in the handle yet with a premium feel. However, the lack of uniformity with the lighting was what destroyed it’s potential. Throughout the years I’ve had 13 voyages, and they all had terrible lighting.

September 19, 2020 at 10:18 pm

Interesting. I have only had one Kindle Voyage. The lighting and screen were perfect from the start and it’s still great six years later. I have had no problems at all with it.

September 21, 2020 at 2:55 am

“Throughout the years I’ve had 13 voyages, and they all had terrible lighting.”

That’s persistence.

September 19, 2020 at 12:33 pm

I agree with everything you said. Unfortunately I managed to break my glass, so it’s basically a beautiful brick now. I would likely have replaced it with another Voyage if I could have, using the $5+20% trade-in. But since the Voyage was no longer available, I moved to a Kobo Libra specifically because of what you said about the narrow bezel and I did also want the orange light.

September 19, 2020 at 5:55 pm

I have three of them in various parts of my house and vastly prefer the Voyage over the Oasis.

September 19, 2020 at 2:24 pm

This is why I’ve not replaced my voyage. Some of the features on newer kindles are tempting (especially the waterproofing), bit they just don’t have the same form factor and functionality of the voyage with its ‘buttons’ and slim size.

September 19, 2020 at 2:36 pm

It really was nice. That said, it’s also the only kindle I’ve owned that ever randomly died (annoyingly out of warranty). Along with the risky light situation, it seems like the design had its issues.

September 19, 2020 at 5:52 pm

love my voyage. bought it used from amazon for about $60 when i lost my kobo clara. wish they’d do a re-release

September 21, 2020 at 1:14 am

In 2014 I bought my son a lightly used 7th generation Kindle. For his 11th birthday this summer I upgraded him to the current 2018 Paperwhite since he wore out the old one. He loves the upgrade. I expected to envy him that shiny new device since my beloved Voyage is indeed 5 years old. However, I find I just don’t and much prefer my “dinosaur” with its beautifully clear text and page turn buttons. I hope it lasts many more years!

I do suggest to anyone who has loves their Voyage and has considered getting a new case that they do so sooner than later. My choices were surprisingly slim compared to when I last looked.

September 19, 2020 at 5:59 pm

I loved my kindle voyage.. I used it constantly – – I read 10 hours a night at least. However, just a couple of months ago I could no longer charge it. The charger wouldn’t make a connection to charge it up. So I’m now back to my original paperwhite, which I’ve not used since I bought my Voyage – – when it first came out. (I do keep all devices charged up whether being used or not).

September 20, 2020 at 2:31 am

10 hours a night? Do you have a job? 😂

September 20, 2020 at 12:53 pm

I am retired! I climb into bed at 10 and usually read til at least 6. But I read some during the day. Sleep in the morning. Retirement, quarantine, and living alone mean my own schedule!

November 17, 2020 at 10:22 pm

Sign me up! This is the life I want :).

April 28, 2021 at 2:38 pm

I love my Voyage. I’ve had it since 2014…. I do not want physical buttons, that’s one of the things I love about it. Also the Oasis being asymmetrical drives me crazy to look at. Not sure if it would be super distracting to me…..

September 19, 2020 at 9:20 pm

Best ebook reader made for sure. Great size. Great battery. Love the haptic feedback on page turn. Love the forward and back buttons on both sides of bezel. Just an outstanding design.

Love mine. Use it everyday. Considered getting a larger screen but the clarity of text is impossible to beat on the voyager.

September 19, 2020 at 10:13 pm

I still prefer the Kindle Voyage as well.

September 19, 2020 at 11:57 pm

I wonder why Amazon cannot consider producing an 8 or 10 inch voyage kindle with buttons on. That would be my dream cone true….

September 19, 2020 at 11:58 pm

a typo – come not cone.

September 20, 2020 at 2:11 am

I loved my Voyage too but I lent it to my sister so my nephew could use it and they still have it. I was trying the new basic Kindle at the time and didn’t go back. I would love if Amazon brought it back out I much prefer either the page turn sensors or the buttons. The Oasis is a bit pricey for me to upgrade just to have the buttons but I would consider it on the cheaper Kindles.

September 20, 2020 at 4:29 am

Own two Kindle Voyage, and still use them, swapping with a Tolino Epos (V1). Would like to see both an updated Voyage and an updated Voyage with a bigger screen.

The newer, higher end Tolinos epos 2 and vision 5 are also both asymmetric, which I hate. And the epos 2 is way to expensive. They are Kobos with a different firmware. It is ok, with some nice touches, but for normal reading there is not much difference. The bigger screen is ok for PDF, but I would prefer the Sony PRS-T1 for PDF (better software). This is also true for the Kindle Voyage.

September 20, 2020 at 5:25 am

I will leave my Voyage to the Science Museum. It is a national treasure.

Best screen of any ereader by far.

It was my first Kindle with nearly perfect lighting. There was a single bright spot. The replacement from Amazon is perfect. I just wish it was a bit warmer now that I have an Oasis to play with.

September 20, 2020 at 8:10 am

There’s a hack to turn off the touchscreen, if that’s your thing.

September 20, 2020 at 9:12 am

Agree with most here that the Kindle Voyage is the best ereader Amazon has made to-date. including the Oasis. Strongly prefer it over all the others, even newer models, and await a worthy successor. Amazon folks, I hope you’re tuned in.

September 20, 2020 at 11:01 am

I bought a Voyage for myself when I decided to make the plunge into the Kindle world. I’d gotten my wife a Paperwhite a year or two earlier and she’d loved it, but I wanted the better specs (especially lighting and screen res) of the Voyage. Loved my new reader!!! When the Oasis came out, my wife was wanting a new Kindle – and was envious of my lighting and screen res – so I got her an Oasis. I found I was envious of the larger screen … and interestingly, she didn’t like the larger screen … so we traded. We both love our respective devices. I think anyone who complains about either (other than pricing) must’ve gotten a bad unit!!!

September 20, 2020 at 12:07 pm

The voyage had light uniformity problems. I believe Nathan has also mentioned it throughout the years and on YouTube videos. Very sleek device and aesthetically pleasing. They should do a re-release in an 8 inch form factor. Hopefully they could get the lighting right this time.

September 20, 2020 at 3:17 pm

Kindle Voyage that I have is my “go to” e reader. Love the portability.

September 20, 2020 at 8:30 pm

I’m hanging on to my Voyage as long as possible. It is my favorite also.

September 21, 2020 at 2:47 am

Nice to get your points of view.

September 22, 2020 at 9:38 pm

I love my Kindle Voyage!

September 23, 2020 at 10:33 am

I have and still use Kindle Voyage. I would really like a larger screen and no glass screen for an updated model. Or perhaps a new e-reader with a larger screen and symmetrical buttons. I doubt Amazon will do this, though.

November 5, 2020 at 7:27 am

I still use a Voyage everyday. Battery life is still much better than my Oasis, and as others mentioned the portability makes it my travelling reader. But most of all, the Voyage does really have the best screen; ?I bought one in 2016, 2 years after its release and I think all the kinks in its initial production runs were smoothed over to provide a flawless screen and excellent lighting.

I still like the amber glow of the Oasis for nighttime reading and keep it handy near my bed, and as both devices synch flawlessly, I really enjoy reading from both.

January 14, 2021 at 1:56 pm

Yep, I prefer Kindle Voyage. Just bought a used one in very good condition when mine died. Text is sharper on this screen than on the Oasis.

January 8, 2022 at 9:02 am

If my Voyage ever dies I’ll strongly consider an Oasis but when my 2014 one died suddenly in 2017 I tried a Kindle non voyage again and within weeks was looking for another Voyage . I found a “used like new ” one and have been averaging about 2 hours a week since then. I only get about 2 weeks of battery life before I need to charge it but for being getting on 5 years old AND was used prior I’m ecstatic . The leather vertical flip cover (igadgitz brand ) is well worn but still does the trick with its hand hold on the back . With the new paperwhite and paperwhite signature being released with just about all the bells and whistles hopefully the next paperwhite will have side buttons like my Voyage , the biggest reason I prefer it over all others .

May 13, 2023 at 11:33 pm

In 2023, the Kindle Voyage still has the sharpest, best screen of all e-book readers manufactured since 2014. Especially reading at night, Kindle Voyage is simply the clearest screen. All the others, even 5 times more expensive, are fuzzy compared to Voyage. I can live without buttons or other bells, but when you mess up the screen sharpness to acomodate the useless yellow light technology… that is a dealbreaker for me.

May 26, 2023 at 7:40 pm

What a cool little support forum for the Voyage! Maybe if someone could tell Amazon to check out this thread, we’d have a new Voyage soon! Anyway, ditto everyone- I love my Voyage (although I might try to install a new battery- fingers crossed). I’ve never had issues with the light, I love the side buttons, and my little leather cover makes it the perfect portable hand-hold! Seriously- if Amazon saw this and used our feedback, they’d have a brand new 6″ winner to sell.

Kindle Voyage vs Kindle Paperwhite: Which Amazon e-reader should you buy?

Kindle Paperwhite or Kindle Voyage: They’re both great, but which one is right for you?

It’s fair to say that Amazon dominates the e-reader market. Yes, it does have some competition from Kobo, Nook and a few others, but the online shopping giant is still the one to beat when it comes to digital books.

To prove that point even further, we’ve pitched easily the two best e-readers on the market against each other – the Kindle Voyage and the Kindle Paperwhite .

The Voyage stands atop Amazon’s line-up, while the Paperwhite takes the mid-range spot. There’s of course a difference in price, but both devices come with really fantastic displays that impress whether your reading in the day or the night.

If you want to know which Kindle to buy, read on.

Kindle Voyage vs Kindle Paperwhite: Design

Kindle Voyage: 180g, 7.6mm thick, magnesium back, PagePress buttons Kindle Paperwhite: 205g, 9.1mm thick, plastic body with soft touch back

The Kindle Voyage is definitely a step forward from the Paperwhite in design terms, though you have to really go hands-on with it to feel, rather than see, the difference.

The plastic back is gone, replaced with a premium-feeling magnesium material that’s sliced up with some sharp lines to give an angular design. This forms a rather unique design, and one we really like. The sides nestle nicely in your hands, while the slim form-factor and minimal weight (a mere 180g) make this thing a pleasure to hold.

Related: Best e-reader to buy

That’s not to say the Paperwhite is heavy. Unless you’re holding both together, you won’t notice the difference. You can hold either just like a normal book for extended periods of time without feeling any arm ache, and even if you decide to add a case they’re still perfectly holdable with one hand.

We particularly love how the display on the Voyage sits flush with the bezels rather than recessed within them, as with the Paperwhite. The obvious plus side here is you won’t get anything stuck in the corners – a small, but constant irritation we have – but it also makes it look so much sleeker.

Finally, the Voyage also attempted to reintroduce physical buttons into the Kindle line. Something, which was phased out when earlier models switched to touchscreens. Instead of proper buttons, the Voyage uses a combination of haptic feedback and page turn sensors to give you a slight vibration every time you push down on either bezel.

It’s called PagePress, and at first we found the feeling a bit odd. You’re not quite sure how hard to press down and the feedback is a little jarring, especially if you’ve been used to proper physical buttons or just tapping the display. But, we got used to it very quickly and if sacrificing the buttons and using these as a replacement helped keep the weight down, we’re all for it.

The Voyage wins out in the design stakes, that’s clear. It’s the sleekest Kindle yet and easily the best-looking e-reader on the market. From the flush display, to the magnesium back, to the ultra-thin design it just screams precision and quality. But, there’s something about the durable nature of the Paperwhite that still has us interested. You can chuck it in your bag and it’ll survive, give it to the kids and the damages seems to be kept to a minimum. For a device like this, that’s meant to be more durable than delicate, that’s a big bonus.

Kindle Voyage vs Kindle Paperwhite: Screen

Kindle Voyage: 6-inch, 300ppi, micro-etched glass, adaptive front light

Kindle Paperwhite: 6-inch, 300ppi, plastic Paperwhite Carta e-paper display

The biggest upgrade to the latest Paperwhite is the display, which now matches the 300 ppi (pixels per inch) resolution that was introduced with the Voyage. This means text is far crisper and clearer, which is always going to be better for the reading experience. It’s not exactly the same as the Voyage though, which is something we’ve realised after spending a lot of time with both devices.

(Voyage display)

The text is, to our eyes anyway, certainly more vivid on the Voyage. It’s darker and has more of a ‘pop’ to it, we prefer it to the slightly duller text on the Paperwhite.

It’s also worth reiterating that the Voyage’s display is the first in the Kindle line to be constructed from a toughened glass rather than plastic. This means that it’s more resistant of scuffs, thus allowing the aforementioned sleeker design, and it’s also smoother to the touch. That’s despite the fact that the Voyage’s display has been micro-etched to avoid reflections.

The Voyage’s display also benefits from an adaptive front light that adjusts the brightness more subtly than the Paperwhite when moving to a darker environment. When you’re reading in bed the light will slowly darker as your eyes adjust, just like you’d normally see on a smartphone.

(Voyage: left / Paperwhite: right)

Actually, the backlight in general is far better on the Voyage. The light is far more even – so you won’t get a brighter bottom half, something we’ve always found the Paperwhite – and it seems to have a wider spectrum of levels. Jack both devices up to max brightness and the Voyage far outshines the Paperwhite.

Both displays are very crisp though and this year’s Paperwhite is a massive step forward from the last iteration. The Voyage does have some extra features and better contrast, but it doesn’t outclass the Paperwhite. The latter also has access to Amazon’s brand-new Bookerly font, which improves character spacing with hyphenation, justification and ligatures. It does look really nice, but we take a guess that this will come to the Voyage via software update soon enough.

Kindle Voyage vs Kindle Paperwhite: Storage and Connectivity

Kindle Voyage: 4GB on device storage, free cloud storage, 3G and Wi-Fi options

Kindle Paperwhite: 2GB on device storage, free cloud storage, 3G and Wi-Fi options

Amazon has added loads more internal storage for the Kindle Voyage. You now get 4GB, which might not sound like a lot if you’re coming from the world of smartphones and tablets, but it’s loads in the world of e-books – the figure usually given is 1,000 ebooks per 1GB of storage.

It’s also, more pertinently, around double the capacity of the Kindle Paperwhite.

Other than that, both e-readers have similar options. Both have access to Amazon’s free cloud storage, and both come in 3G and Wi-Fi-only options.

Kindle Voyage vs Kindle Paperwhite: Content, Stores and Pricing

It shouldn’t come as any surprise that both tablets have identical access to Amazon’s vast ebook store. We’re talking three million ebooks, newspapers, and magazines.

Amazon’s offering is pretty much the most comprehensive in the business, especially now that it’s settled its ugly differences with some of the publishers who dared to hold out for a better deal. If you’re a Prime subscriber you’ll have access to the Lending Library, while the Kindle Unlimited service has positioned itself as a ’Netflix for books’ with all-you-can-eat reading.

Related: Nexus 9 review

Where the two devices really differ is in pricing. We’ve established that the Kindle Voyage is a much more advanced e-reader in many ways, but then you have to pay £60 more for than for the Paperwhite equivalents. Buy Now:  Kindle Paperwhite at Amazon.com from $139.99

To illustrate that, the £169 price of the Wi-Fi Voyage would get you a 3G Paperwhite. That might be worth considering if you’re on a budget and are likely to find yourself away from a Wi-Fi hotspot for much of the time.

We thought the price difference was a big factor last year, but it’s even greater this time around as the Paperwhite now packs a gorgeous display that rivals the Voyage.

Buy Now: Kindle Voyage at Amazon.com from $199.99

Kindle Voyage vs Kindle Paperwhite: Battery life

Kindle Voyage: 6 weeks

Kindle Paperwhite: 6 weeks

Both e-readers last a good spell longer than your average tablet on a single charge, as is the way with ebook readers. But, the Kindle’s switch to a sharper, brighter display has clearly taken a toll on its stamina.

Amazon quotes six weeks of life from a single charge for both Kindle Voyage and Paperwhite, that means the newly-announced Paperwhite has lost two weeks of juice from the previous model. We’d take that any day for the improved display and we have to say that six weeks of battery life is more than enough. Especially when they both only take a couple of hours to full recharge.

Related: iPad Air 2 vs Sony Xperia Tablet Z4

We haven’t had the new Paperwhite in our hands for six weeks yet, so we can’t really tell you how it’ll cope accurately. But we’ve been using it pretty solidly for the past five days and the battery indicator has barely nudged all, so that’s a good sign. If it’s anything like the Voyage, we’d say you’ll get a month of everyday use before even the idea of searching out the charger will enter your mind. Use it less frequently and yes, six weeks is very accurate.

Kindle Voyage vs Kindle Paperwhite: Verdict

The Kindle Voyage is a better e-reader than the Kindle Paperwhite in almost every way. It’s got a slightly better screen with improved backlighting; a nicer, more compact, more tactile design; and double the internal storage. For these reasons it is the clear winner of this contest.

But, we’d still recommend the Paperwhite as the one that most people should buy. The Voyage seems like a luxury and if you want to splash out that extra £60, and have the ability to, then you’ll be getting the best e-reader on the market. Thing is, the Paperwhite is still a fantastic device and you don’t lose out on any ‘massive’ features by choosing it over the Voyage. Both have the same access to Amazon’s store, both have great displays and both can last well over a month without needing a recharge. If you’re an e-reader die-hard, the Voyage is the way to go. For everyone else, we’d say the Paperwhite is the perfect pick.

Các Câu Hỏi Thường Gặp - Tư Vấn Bởi Reviewer Công Nghệ Nam Air

Tham khảo các dòng máy đọc sách khác, máy đọc sách kindle có nhiều nét hấp dẫn, cách chọn máy đọc sách kindle, chọn kindle có hay không có quảng cáo.

Nếu bạn cần một sản phẩm tiết kiệm chi phí, bạn có thể chọn loại có hiện thị quảng cáo . Với những sản phẩm cho phép chạy thông tin quảng cáo, bạn sẽ thấy những thông tin được xuất hiện khi máy ở chế độ “sleep” và dưới màn hình chính. Dòng sản phẩm này có mức giá rẻ hơn dòng máy không chạy quảng cáo khoảng 400.000 đồng . Tuy nhiên, những thông tin quảng cáo sẽ không xuất hiện khi bạn đang đọc sách. 

Dung Lượng Bộ Nhớ: 8GB Lưu Trữ Được Hàng Trăm Quyển; Nếu Đọc Manga 32GB Sẽ An Tâm Hơn

Nếu bạn chỉ đọc những quyển sách chữ thông thường, dung lượng bộ nhớ 8GB sẽ giúp bạn lưu trữ hàng trăm quyển sách . Tuy nhiên, nếu bạn là fan của manga, bạn nên chọn dung lượng 32GB sẽ an tâm hơn. Với 8GB bạn có thể lưu trữ khoảng 140 quyển manga, trong khi đó với 32GB sẽ đủ sức chứa đến 700 quyển.

Kindle Kết Nối 4G Chưa Sử Dụng Được tại Việt Nam

Mức giá của phiên bản 4G đương nhiên sẽ cao hơn so với dòng máy chỉ hỗ trợ kết nối Wifi hỗ trợ những người dùng thường xuyên sử dụng những tiện ích và tính di động mà 4G mang lại. Tuy nhiên bạn cần lưu ý rằng tính năng 4G chưa sử dụng được tại Việt Nam, nên nếu chỉ sử dụng nội địa bạn nên cân nhắc loại Wifi.

Thêm nữa, những quyển sách có dung lượng khá lớn như truyện tranh sẽ khó có thể tải về thành công thông qua kết nối 4G . Nếu bạn sử dụng Kindle và là một fan truyện tranh chính hiệu, sẽ tốt hơn nếu bạn chọn phiên bản Wifi.

Chọn Kindle Có Tính Năng Hợp Với Nơi Thường Dùng

Tính năng chống thấm nước nếu thường dùng trong phòng tắm, chọn kindle có đèn nền thì sẽ dễ đọc hơn ở những nơi tối.

Với những người thường xuyên đọc sách trước khi ngủ, hãy mua sản phẩm có hỗ trợ đèn nền. Tuỳ theo đời máy và loại máy mà Kindle có trang bị đèn nền hay không và số đèn nền có thể khác nhau ở mỗi máy, tuy nhiên đối với những bạn thường xuyên đọc sách vào buổi tối, thiết bị có hỗ trợ đèn nền sẽ rất hữu ích.

Hầu như mọi máy Kindle hiện nay đều có đèn nền giúp bạn đọc sách mọi lúc, mọi nơi. Tuy vậy một số mẫu Kindle còn có thêm tính năng đèn nền ấm, giúp hạn chế ánh sáng xanh , có lợi cho những người hay đọc sách ban đêm, đọc sách trước khi ngủ

Thuận Tiện Với Nút Chuyển Trang Nếu Bạn Đọc Sách Khi Di Chuyển

Chọn kindle có kèm bút nếu có nhu cầu ghi chép.

Gần đây Amazon giới thiệu Kindle Scribe, nếu bạn là người thường xuyên ghi chú lên tài liệu lúc đọc thì có thể cân nhắc dòng này. Kindle Sscribe  có  màn hình lớn 10.2" và có hỗ trợ bút để ghi chú, ghi chép .

Để ghi chú lên các sách đang đọc thì bạn có thể tạo một sticky đính lên trang sách để ghi chú. Còn với người thường xuyên đọc PDF thì có thể ghi chú trực tiếp lên file PDF đang đọc rất tiện lợi.

Một số vấn đề người dùng Kindle thường thắc mắc

Trong bài viết này Cá Hề sẽ giải đáp một số thắc mắc mà những người mới dùng máy đọc sách Kindle thường gặp phải.

Một số vấn đề khách hàng thường thắc mắc về Kindle

Máy của tôi mới mua, sao nhanh hết pin.

Nhiều người dùng cảm thấy hoang mang khi chiếc Kindle mới mua nhưng sụt pin rất nhanh dù chỉ vừa copy sách vào máy mà chưa kịp đọc. Bạn không cần phải quá lo lằng về điều này, lý do là:

Thông thường sau khi đập hộp chiếc Kindle bạn sẽ copy một lượng lớn sách vào máy. Và khi một cuốn sách được nạp vào máy, thì Kindle sẽ tiến hành lập chỉ mục (index) nhằm phục vụ cho tính năng tìm kiếm trong Kindle.

Nếu bạn copy nhiều sách vào máy cùng lúc, Kindle sẽ phải thực hiện một lượng công việc lập chỉ mục rất lớn. Thậm chí ngay cả khi bạn đặt máy ở chế độ sleep mode thì nó vẫn sẽ tiếp tục index ngầm. Đây chính là lý do khiến chiếc Kindle của bạn bị sụt pin nhanh , vậy nên đừng lo lắng vì điều này là bình thường.

Ở ảnh dưới, Kindle Paperwhite 4 hiển thị thông báo nói rõ việc chuyển file vào máy thì sẽ khiến máy hao pin.

Máy Kindle đang có bán trên thị trường có những kiểu gì?

Nếu phân loại theo tính trạng, thì hiện nay trên thị trường có 4 loại máy Kindle:

• Máy new: Tức là máy mới 100% và chưa kích hoạt bao giờ.
• Máy refurbish: Máy đang trong thời hạn bảo hành nhưng bị lỗi, người dùng mang lại Amazon để đổi một chiếc máy khác. Amazon sẽ nhận lại chiếc máy bị lỗi này và thay thế phần linh kiện bên trong sau đó bán ra lại thị trường
• Máy đã qua sử dụng: Đây là loại máy do người dùng muốn nâng cấp lên máy mới nên bán lại cho các cửa hàng, hoặc cho những người dùng khác.
• Máy Kindle Blacklist: Là loại máy mà bạn không thể đăng nhập vào tài khoảng Amazon, không thể dùng được dịch vụ send to Kindle, và cũng không thể tiếp cận được kho sách bản quyền của Amazon.

Kindle có đọc được sách tiếng Việt không và tải sách tiếng Việt ở đâu?

Máy đọc sách Kindle hoàn toàn có thể đọc được sách tiếng Việt. Nếu bạn muốn dùng sách tiếng Việt bản quyền thì mua ở kho sách của Amazon. Tuy nhiên bạn sẽ tìm thấy rất ít sách tiếng Việt dành cho Kindle ở đây.

Bạn có thể tải sách tiếng Việt từ các nguồn chia sẻ như dtv-ebook.com, sachvui.com, tve-4u.org, epub.vn . Hoặc chép sách đúng các định dạng máy hỗ trợ là có thể đọc bình thường.

Có nên mua máy đọc sách Kindle để đọc file pdf không?

Nếu nhu cầu của bạn là đọc file pdf thì không nên mua máy Kindle . Lý do là:

• Kindle không được thiết kế để đọc file pdf. Nó không hỗ trợ đổi font, không hỗ trợ thay đổi kích thước font chữ với những file pdf.
• Mặc dù bạn có thể cài phần mềm Koreader để đọc file pdf. Tuy nhiên không phải dòng Kindle nào củng cài được. Còn nếu dòng máy bạn mua có cài được Koreader đi nữa, thì trải nghiệm đọc file pdf vẫn chỉ ở mức tạm được.
• Kích thước màn hình của Kindle bé, không phù hợp để đọc các file pdf có hình ảnh phức tạp, có nhiều bảng biểu, biểu đồ.

Mua máy Kindle cũ cần chú ý những điểm gì?

Khi mua máy đọc sách Kindle cũ bạn cần kiểm tra những điểm sau:

• Test màn hình cảm ứng xem có bị liệt hay bị loạn cảm ứng gì không
• Kiểm tra xem màn hình có bị trầy xước không
• Kiểm tra đèn màn hình có sáng đều hay không
• Nếu máy có nút chuyển trang thì kiểm tra độ nhạy của nút như thế nào
• Kiểm tra xem máy có đăng nhập được account không
• Kiểm tra xem máy có kết nối wifi được không
• Kiểm tra khả năng truyền dữ liệu qua cable

Máy Kindle ở các thị trường như Mỹ, Nhật, châu Âu… có khác nhau không? .

Máy Kindle hoàn toàn giống nhau và không phục thuộc vào việc nó được bán ở thị trường nào cả.

Máy Kindle Blacklist là gì?

Máy Kindle Blacklist là loại máy mà bạn không được đăng nhập vào tài khoảng Amazon, không thể dùng được dịch vụ send to Kindle, và cũng không thể tiếp cận được kho sách bản quyền của Amazon.

Với những chiếc máy Kindle Blacklist bạn chỉ có thể chép sách vào máy thông qua cáp USB mà thôi.

Làm sao tắt hiển thị quảng cáo trên Kindle?

Nếu bạn không thích máy Kindle của bạn hiển thị quảng cáo, bạn hãy chat với support Amazon để nhờ họ gỡ quảng cáo.

Chất lượng hiển thị trên các dòng máy Kindle có khác nhau không?

Sẽ có sự khác biệt về chất lượng hiển thị ở các dòng Kindle, bởi vì mỗi dòng Kindle có sự khác nhau về kích thước màn hình, mật độ điểm ảnh, độ phân giải, số lượng đèn màn hình. Do đó khi bạn đọc sách trên một chiếc Kindle cao cấp như Oasis 3 sẽ thấy màn hình hiển thị của máy đẹp và sắc nét hơn hẳn so với chiếc Kindle Basic 10th.

• Máy đọc sách Kindle có màn hình lớn nhất là dòng Kindle Oasis 2 và Oasis 3, cả hai có kích thước màn hình 7 inch. Tiếp theo là chiếc Kindle Papewhite 5 có màn hình 6.8 inch. Các dòng còn lại đều có màn hình 6 inch.
• Trong số các dòng Kindle phổ biến hiện nay, chỉ có chiếc Kindle Basic 10th (All-New-Kindle 2019) có mật độ điểm ảnh 167 PPI . Các máy khác như Kindle Paperwhite 3, 4, 5; Kindle Oasis 1, 2, 3; Kindle Voyage đều có mật độ điểm ảnh là 300 PPI

Bảng so sánh các thông số màn hình trên một số dòng máy Kindle phổ biến nhất hiện nay

Khả năng chống nước của các dòng Kindle là như thế nào?

Xét về khả năng chống nước , các dòng Kindle được chia làm 2 loại: Không chống nước và mức chống nước đạt tiêu chuẩn IPX8 (chịu được nước ở độ sâu 2m trong thời gian 60 phút). Với mức chống nước này bạn hoàn toàn có thể mang theo khi đi bơi hoặc tắm biển.

Trên đây là những thắc mắc thường gặp ở những người mới sử dụng máy đọc sách Kindle. Hy vọng bài viết cung cấp cho bạn những thông tin hữu ích. Hẹn gặp lại các bạn trong những bài viết sau.
