The new e-book reader Kindle Paperwhite brings some welcome changes, compared to the model of the previous year – including a faster processor and a better screen. However, this is not a revolution, and therefore might wonder whether the device is well worth its price Kindle e-reader and lover beginners.
The current
Paperwhite model costs 129 euros in Germany from Amazon, the predecessor is sold for 119 euros. Not to be confused with the e-reader Amazon Kindle Fire series, when it comes to tablets, including color screen.
I tested the Kindle Paperwhite a week and mainly read books about media theory and economic fact. In other words, I have used the device more than an hour before going to bed and then I fell asleep
.
Amazon
Overall it can be said that the White Paper is an excellent product, but not a must-have for all those who are happy with their White Paper from the year 2012 -. although the new device can come with some temptations
The new Kindle Paperwhite just seems a bit livelier than the old one. On the E-Ink display now appear no longer the shadows that had disturbed some old copies of the White Paper from the past year. According to Amazon, the screen has been revised several times to solve this problem.
The White Paper has three new key features:. Flip Page, “expand vocabulary” and a new function for footnotes
footnotes Popup Window
Page Flip can scroll around in the virtual directory, without losing orientation. The new footnotes function can display footnotes in a pop-up window on the page on which you just is instead that it is catapulted to the end of the book. However, this only worked on some books I’ve read. The “Add vocabulary”, which appears as a drop-down menu in the settings, shows virtual index cards for each word that has been sought after during reading.
If one turns
the Kindle, a menu appears on the home screen – including Home, Back, adjust backlight settings and the shopping cart, which leads one to the Amazon store. Amazon offers around 2 million e-books for the Kindle on, including 400,000 titles exclusively for the readers – most of the books are in English. On German about 212,000 e-books for the Kindle are available.
customers using Amazon Prime for 29 euros a year, each month you can borrow a Kindle book for free from the library in Germany. But there is only a fraction of all e-books, which are published for the Kindle available.
Once I started reading, the differences between the old and the new generation of the White Paper were obvious. My old Paperwhite had a strange shadow on the bottom of the screen – had a total of screen illuminated somewhat uneven. The new screen looks brighter, the contrast is stronger and the shadows are gone.
Faster Processor
a faster processor is installed. Everything feels faster on the new White Paper on – switching to the start screen, searching, accessing the settings. Even books were downloaded quickly, the page curl, however I noticed little difference.
new Paperwhite costs 129 euros with pure Wi-Fi connection and “special offers”, which means that Amazon advertisement is displayed on the lock screen. using 3G mobile connection, the device will cost 189 euros. Exemption from advertising costs each 15 euro extra.
Paperwhite is equipped with 2GB of internal memory, which can accommodate approximately 1,000 square books. The device has only an on / off button, an LED status light and a micro-USB input for charging.
Despite the better processor of the new White Paper by battery lasts as long as the old one. With Wi-Fi turned off, the device can use according to Amazon up to two months without recharging. After I had the Kindle Paperwhite used five evenings with enabled Wi-Fi, the battery was still charged to approximately 70 percent.
charging cable is extra
Amazon
still puts the device at no charge cable. Who wants to download the Kindle without a PC, you must shell out for the appropriate charger 15 euros extra – at least, when he ordered the official charger from Amazon. Equivalent Charger for Micro-USB port, which is also suitable for the Paperwhite devices are available from other manufacturers, starting from 7 € at Amazon.
The White Paper does not have a headphone output and also does not support audiobooks. The “experimental browser” feels just to – as an experiment
.
What struck me really positive, was the auto-correction of notes when I used the Kindle app on the iPad. In contrast, there is no auto correction for the self-written texts on the Kindle, which I constantly mistyped myself and some notes left behind, probably sometime make no more sense to me.
the new Kindle Paperwhite Apart from these drawbacks is a welcome improvement for the Kindle series.

The battery is glued and placed under a virtually non-replaceable motherboard. If something breaks, the machine flies on the garbage in a high arc.

iPad Mini with Retina display against Nexus and Kindle Fire 7 HDX
Yesterday 23 October 2013 in San Francisco, Apple introduced the new iPad and the iPad Mini Air two new tablets before. In the smaller iPad has been screwed to the resolution especially. With a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch, it outperforms the two 7-inch tablet Nexus 7 (2013), and Kindle Fire HDX only slightly.
The display itself is 7.9 inches but a good bit larger than the competing products from Google and Amazon. For buyers, however, it remains a matter of personal preference whether you’re willing to pay the price difference for quite fierce.
The New iPad Mini is quite expensive compared to the Kindle Fire HDX or the Nexus 7
Kindle Fire HDX costs in full equipment with 64 gigabytes of internal storage and LTE without the advertising option from Amazon, for example, just 15 euros more than the cheapest new iPad Mini with 16 gigabytes of internal memory and no way out of wireless range into the net to Go.
In terms of quality apps and Apple accessories, however, is likely to remain in many respects the scale. The high number of different Android tablets makes it not simply the manufacturers of bags and other tablet accessories. Even buyers of the Kindle Fier HDX should be clear that they can only get their apps from the Amazon app store instead of Google’s larger-Play. Apart from this, the choice is also a decision about which operating system you feel most comfortable.
A detailed list of specifications of the three tablets found here:
Not even a year, took it because Amazon is already bringing a new model of Kindle White Paper on the German market. Amazon promises an even better text representation and readability. Furthermore, the software of the Kindle Paperwhite been enhanced with new features.
We tested a production model of the new generation 2013 model in detail. What is better the current Kindle Paperwhite And what do the improvements in practice
Read our practical test, in which we could occasionally confuse the testers.
packaging, appearance and accessories
Carton, in the White Paper, the Kindle is delivered is the same size as the previous model. This is not surprising, because housing size, weight and appearance are almost unchanged. Barely perceptible the Kindle logo has been modified on the front. And on the back of the case is no longer “kindle” but shiny “amazon”. The plastic housing is still in matte black.
biggest difference after opening the package: The included USB charging cable is black and not white, as in previous years
.
Who does not want to power on the PC, but at the power outlet the Kindle Paperwhite, which requires an AC adapter and ordered it at best with. Thus the Kindle Paperwhite is charged faster than the USB port of a computer.
The Kindle Paperwhite 2 must still rare at the outlet than its predecessor, promises to Amazon. We could not even try, because the battery life will be up to 8 weeks with normal reading behavior despite illumination.
terms “battery life” and “reading in bright light” is any e-ink device superior to a tablet computer.
should acquire
Also when buying this one a cover to protect the device at home and on the road against dust, dirt and scratches. Since the case with its predecessor is the same, you can consider our test case consult the previous year.

welcomes the unit and one of the first steps is required to connect to a WLAN. From the new Kindle Paperwhite there will be a 3G version, which takes anywhere via mobile phone with the Amazon servers and the shop link. The worldwide mobile access is paid once at the higher selling price of the mobile version. The 3G version can already be ordered and will be delivered in 2013 at the beginning of November.
the wireless contact one logs on to the machine with Amazon’s customer data. Again, nothing has changed compared to its predecessor. A Kindle is connected to an Amazon account, all run through the ordering process. Most e-books are licensed to the buyer account with this link (DRM copy-protected). When you buy a Kindle as a reading device, is usually also purchase his e-book on Amazon. However, Kindle e-books can also on iPad, iPhone or Android phone to read and even on laptop and office computer when a free reading app has been downloaded.
The new text representation: Better, white, sharper
?
But how does the display read the new Kindle Paperwhite White is the white and the black black, as Amazon promises? Is the “page turning” snappier? Is the representation of fonts sharper
The answer is yes – but you do not really notice it while reading. The difference is only apparent when the new and old model next to each other. Occasionally you could unsettle the testers in the newsroom of the literaturcafe.de for a brief moment, when they were told that they had not tried the new but the old model. Really sure you can only just looking at the logo of the back be, especially in the off state.
That may be good news for those who have not bought the old model, just before the new was announced. Clear eye, the new display technology does not fall, which was built in the Kindle Paperwhite second
two points, however, to determine improvements. The so called ghosting falls in the new model from much lower. Thus, residues of texts are meant which are still visible after the “page turning”. This looks a bit like a newspaper when the back shows through. This effect is unsightly in our test device much less clear than the previous model.
Also, the lighting has been improved
at the bottom. In the first version of the model you could still see exactly where the LEDs sit under the housing that illuminate the display. It almost looked as if the display is slightly wavy, like wet paper. The display of the new Kindle Paperwhite is uniformly bright
There were customers who sent their device of the first generation model several times to return back to Amazon because ghosting or uneven illumination extremely disturbed. Our review unit of time seemed to be the better one.
New software functions Vocabulary
software side include some additional enhancements Kindle Paperwhite. None of them needs a new hardware. Therefore, it is annoying for customers the first version of the model that they so far (?) Receive no update to also come to enjoy the new features. Improvements in this area are unfortunately a product-political and not a technical decision. However, it must be said that the improvements are not groundbreaking here.
New
is a side-to-side representation, called Amazon “PageFlip”. Here you can scroll back and forth or side-by chapter, and the original page is displayed in the background, while the other is laid over smaller. It is so intuitive back to the current reading position. Too bad that such a visualization is not available through the search function. Called the small representation is but an improved bookmarks view, which lists all set flags indicating the tip of a book and an entry reduces the page.
new software side is also a vocabulary trainer. If you look while reading a word in the dictionary by touching it with your finger longer, it is automatically added to the vocabulary trainer. Like the good old vocabulary boxes you can work through these concepts again later and mark as “Mastered” when you have downed their meaning. Since you can purchase a large selection of foreign language e-books from Amazon, you’re training as individual his vocabulary. The included dictionaries are gleichsprachig.

Short passages can as yet be forwarded via Twitter or Facebook, which are unfortunately linked from German e-books out with amazon.com. Other so-called social-reading functions that allow to request the exchange and discussion with other readers right in the eBook are not yet integrated in the software of the Kindle Paperwhite. It is expected, however, that the German version of the software sooner or later a connection to the reading community receives about Goodreads, which was recently acquired by Amazon.
And the typography?
In terms of typography has unfortunately done nothing on the device. You can font size, page margins, line spacing and font set as before. The new software also allows no hyphenation, so sometimes it can be large or uneven word spacing right text margins. Lost rumstehende lines or even headlines at the end of the page are still not elegantly balanced. So-called widows and orphans are therefore still not optimal for the digital typography Kindle pages.

Autumn is Harvest: Time Amazon and Tolino have updated their eBook reader and send to the Kindle Paperwhite and the Tolino Shine its new top models on the market. FOCUS editor Matthias Matting makes the test.
a comparative advertising – it is in many large companies, the uncertainty of whether the competing brands do not inadvertently benefit from their own advertising. In 2011, the service plan Agency Facit Media Efficiency demonstrated in the study Impact Navigator, competitive brands that the consumer can certainly result in stronger emotions than actually advertised product. But this should not be a disadvantage, explains senior client advisor and neuroscientist Sabine Frenzel in a recent blog post Impact Navigator 2013 .
For the study, Facit Media Efficiency has a spot of online retailer Amazon looked more closely at where the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 with the iPad is compared by Apple .
200 subjects were examined for the effect of neural Amazon spots by the neuroscientific method Steady state topography (SST). This is an extension of the classical EEG, which measures the speed of electrical voltage changes on the surface of the skull of the study participants in microvolts.
addition, the brand recall was requested by reaction time test. Neuro researchers placed the subjects on individual brand logos. They had to be as fast as possible to decide whether a spot was broadcast in this brand before-seen advertising block or not. The result: 84 percent of the participants correctly remembered to have seen a spot on the Kindle Fire from Amazon. Only 16 percent were wrong and said they have not seen the spot. Similarly, the majority (66 percent) had remembered correctly, to have just seen a spot of Apple. Only a minority (34 percent) had remembered incorrectly and thought that Apple was the sender of the spot.
Although the iPad is described in the spot almost as detailed as the Kindle, these results showed that Kindle is superior to the iPad in terms of brand recall. The comparative spot thus achieved a “very good effect” for the Amazon tablet, without strengthening the competitors too, so Frenzel.
important purchasing decisions but are anchoring in the long-term memory and the “personal relevance”. Because studies have shown that only information considered important as a spectator for themselves, have the chance to be remembered in the long term – which has implications for the choice of products at the point of sale.
both “iPad” as well as the brand “Apple” were firmly rooted in the long-term memory for the volunteers. “The creation has therefore a very positive impact on the Apple iPad,” said Frenzel. “In the case of an associative brand strategy, the spot, however, has paid off well for the advertisers to Amazon because the spot, which is awarded by the participants clearly the brand Amazon Kindle, overall quite benefited from the positive effect of the iPad.”
From Amazon spot so both sides benefit. Which is not always the case: “In differentiating marketing strategies comparative commercials are however to be taken with caution,” said Frenzel

Amazon has lowered the price of the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 from 269 EUR to 229 EUR. The occasion is the launch of the new Kindle Fire-generation. The successor Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is priced at 379 euros.

For the performance 1.5 GHz Dual Core processor which is sufficient for surfing, reading and simple games for all makes. The currently most powerful components for smartphones and tablets – - but the HDX 8.9 with its Snapdragon processor and the Adreno 800 graphics chip 330 for demanding apps and especially games suitable. This also costs 150 euros more.
Another decision is more difficult: The Kindle Fire HD 8.9 costs as much as the new Kindle Fire HDX with seven-inch Full HD display. And the HDX has the Snapdragon 800 and the Adreno 330 on a brand-new equipment. If the screen size is not critical, no doubt the small Kindle Fire HDX would be preferable to the old Fire HD 8.9. Then there are still the competition in the form of Nexus 7 (see test). Meanwhile, Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro with 1.5 GHz and the Adreno 320 is fast enough for all the apps and games that are currently on the market. Kindle Fire HDX is clearly inferior in terms of performance, while the Nexus seventh However: The Nexus provides access to the full Google Play and Amazon tablets restrict access to the hotel’s own Amazon App Store
