New Amazon Kindle
The Kindle 4 (2011) retained the 6 inch e-ink Pearl screen, but is lighter and smaller. The physical keyboard is replaced by way of a virtual one. Let’s begin to see the details.
Sound: The Kindle 4 has speakers – these enable you to pay attention to mp3 audiobooks, music, and Text-to-Speech. If you ever prefer headphones, it features a headphone jack too. You’ll be able to control the degree.
Navigation: Page turn buttons (on both sides) are ergonomic – they can be very similar to the K3. There’s a 5-way controller and 4 buttons, although the physical keyboard is replaced by just a virtual one.
Internet: The Kindle 4 can be found in one version only: WiFi (with ads and without). If 3G is necessary, consider other models like the K3 and Kindle Touch.
eInk: The Kindle 4 uses the equivalent eInk because Kindle 3 – it’s eInk Pearl. It’s a book-page-like background, while the text is sharp and “pops out”. You’ll be able to read on the Kindle 4, including in lowlight and bright sunlight. The page turns are faster than previously.
Formats: The Kindle 2011 uses Amazon books (.AZW), together with it might handle .PDF and .MOBI, aside from the common formats like .TXT.
Reading: There are a lot settings to select from with: font sizes, typefaces, varieties of line spacing, and “words per line”. You can also make this mobile phone read for you personally by activating the “Text-to-Speech”. And, you possibly can alter the screen rotation (portrait and landscape).
Text-to-Speech: The Kindle 4 can read back to you in woman or man voice. Both voices are “robotic”, nonetheless locate them very tolerable and easy to get accustomed to. I use the TTS feature while driving – it will help kill time. Note: This feature mutually most books, except for all.
PDF: The brand new Kindle can adjust contrast in PDF files. Page turns are fast because well. The PDF menu aids you to pick from: types of zoom, contrast, and types of screen orientation (portrait and landscape). If you should reflow the PDF, you could make highlights and notes, and even access the dictionary.
Internet browser: I really like the newest Kindle’s WebKit-based browser, but it’s harder to make usage of it together with the virtual keyboard. You can access it by pressing the “Menu” button, selecting “Experimental”, and then selecting “launch browser”. You’ll be able to enter URLs, create bookmarks, access all your bookmarks, call at your history, see webpages with a stripped-down one-column “article mode”, combined with zoom and judge landscape view. The browser “sees” links and shows an online surrender them that you click; in addition it “sees” separate page areas and shows a magnifier them over that you should zoom in. This browser doesn’t support flash, however it will show lots of the images for the page. Naturally, it’s much slower compared to what you’re familiar with, but it’s wonderful to have eInk browser.
Menu: Its main menu delivers the following options: Turn WiFi Off, Shop the Kindle Store, Archived Items, Search, Complete a New Collection, Sync, View Downloading Items, Settings, and Experimental (Web Browser, Mp3 music player, and TTS).
