What’s the – he brings excitement, fun and can glow in the dark ?! In summer, its popular e-reader updated. We have taken a look at the new Kindle Paperwhite .

Is summer yet not yet over? Towards the end of the week it should again be really warm and sunny. Lying on the grass and reading a book – what a change when you are sitting most of the time in front of a computer screen

If there no. should be a printed book: The e-reader are easy on the eyes and easy to read in sunlight. The haptic sense, the overview, they can not keep up with a printing unit – especially in comparison of newspaper editions. Yet there are advantages that you do not want to miss in many situations: a lot of content in a small space with little weight – especially when traveling convenient. In addition: Integrated reference books, notes function. And in the Kindle Paperwhite: the integrated lighting. Especially handy etc when camping, in the night bus, in a mass dormitory of the school land home

Amazon has Bookerly Specially designed for the screens, “a warm, contemporary and coordinated by handwriting for best readability in any size,” said the manufacturer. My impression: slim, clear, very well read. A smart punctuation with improved character spacing, justification etc. leads Amazon in parallel also a. Bookerly including new rendering engine is a step forward, they are used like a standard on the device.

The adjustable lighting is brighter and more more uniform than in our comparison model (Paperwhite 1st generation). The minimal shadow at the bottom does not interfere.

Kindle is more expensive, less value discount – ALLESebook.de

Amazon is known to be very flexible when it comes to the pricing of its own hardware. eBook Reader and tablets of the company are constantly, reduced to all sorts of occasions. In particular, the price action in the readers provide always new bargain deals. However it’s done sometimes in the opposite direction. A few months ago the Kindle Paperwhite 2 was surprisingly expensive

In the course of several days the price of eReaders 99 was increased to EUR 119 euros, to be reduced by only a few hours later. At that time, Amazon had possibly entered just the Paperwhite 3 into the system, which appeared finally with the higher starting price in June.

Now there’s the Kindle base model a similar effect: The reader was published in September 2014 and arrived in this country, including for 59 Euro discount on the market.. Enthusiasm has caused neither the price nor the advertising support, nevertheless, the device has a low-priced entry-level model but its raison d’etre.

However, if you now take a look at the Amazon homepage throws, then the Kindle costs suddenly 69.99 euros. The price for the ad-supported version is thus 10 Euro higher than the market launch. A justification for there’s actually not, because technically has since 2014 changed nothing. Strictly speaking, the eBook Reader is the new competitors actually even become slightly worse relative, since the modern e-ink Carta technology has slowly but surely been introduced in all current models.

The basic model is currently more expensive than the market launch

Apart from that is the price gap to continue available Paperwhite 2 now so low that it should work in every case to the illuminated model. The price-performance ratio here is much better.

Kindle Paperwhite 2 for 99.99 euros buy

This naturally raises the question whether it is (again) to be a bug, or the change was intentionally performed.

Otherwise (e) Amazon.de always 20 euros more calls so far for the ad-free version. The Kindle Paperwhite 3 costs without discount accordingly continue 139.99 euros.

However, if you throw a glance to France or England, it turns out that there seem to have lost value, the discount with which various Kindle models are subsidized.

In both and in other country-specific Amazon Stores (Italy, Spain, etc.) you pay only 10 euros extra for the ad-free ebook reader.

It is conceivable that Amazon introduced a new pricing structure for the Special what would not come as a complete surprise, given the changes to the advertising concept. When the subsidies were introduced, they wanted to major (partly listed) companies win their products to put in scene. Visa, Olay, Buick and Chase were the first partners that Amazon was able to convince the advertising concept. Their ads were first switched on Kindle Keyboard (only in the US). In addition, customers have the opportunity to select preferred advertising circuits over AdMash.

in Europe is here it eventually but still nothing, because usually there’s no prominent advertising partners. Instead, only Kindle eBooks Amazon and diverse products (charger, case, etc.) are staged so that the Group’s advertising revenues and subsidies intern at best a little umschlichtet. Whether the end result is a black figure, remains open.

The conversion of the Kindle special offer appears in respect to the other European Kindle offers any case no fault to be and could provide an outlook on the pricing of the next Kindle models.

In the coming weeks, Amazon is expected to introduce a successor to the Kindle Voyage, the then this country could come up with the new pricing model on the market.

On Indie Publishing: Uwe Kullnick defended Kindle Storyteller Award – buchreport

The book trade as backers for the Warhorse Amazon? – The “Kindle Storyteller Award” in the Amazon, among others cooperates with Luebbe, has provided in the book industry for critical voices. Uwe Kullnick, president of the Free German Authors Association and chairman of the jury that chooses the self publishing winner, refers to the merits of onliners and shows little understanding of quality arguments against self-publishers.

Background: Amazon seeks the best German-language book an indie author since July 1. The winner of the “Kindle Storyteller” prize receives a grand prize totaling 30,000 euros. Cooperation partners Kullnicks belongs Free German author Association and the news magazine “ Focus “. The winning book will be published at Bastion Luebbe in the German-speaking countries in printed form – and at the latest then sets the Storyteller Coalition on bookshops

Heinrich Riethmüller , Osiander -Managing and ruler of the Börsenverein , has already shown little pleased that the book trade is to be included in the action. According to “financial newspaper” informed Riethmüller Amazon with: “The policy of Amazon, which seeks to destroy the growing and very well-functioning structures in the book trade are not at all suited to win the stationary range for promotions of your house.”

 Uwe Kullnick manifests itself on Indie Publishing wiefolgt for debate:

” The Free German Authors Association has a nearly century-old tradition as a protective association of German writers. Now you can rest on its past, the great author’s name and his previous world or take on the challenges of today.

We as a federal association, and since I conclude our National associations explicitly with one, have decided already a while ago, we for Self Publisher, ie by publishers independent authors to open, and thus contribute to the liberalization of literature events in the Federal Republic.

“PUBLICATION BOOST NEULITERATEN”

Amazon Kindle mainly, but other platforms enabled, worldwide publication boost Neuliteraten that is similar in meaning to a new wave of literacy. People write that would have previously never had the chance to publish a book. And people are reading that would have previously taken a book in his hand. In both groups, it is mainly young people, now interested in burning for the medium book, even instead of their previously popular media music, film and video.

The action of those who see their traditional market risk, I see, but can not understand them. It is the quality feature high literary texts demanded, while on the course at the Self publishers also existing weaknesses, such as particularly a lack of proofreading and editing, referenced. But things are moving forward and there will be less and less room for unjustified conceit in this respect.

Or we really want the quality and truthfulness of money bringer of arguing publishers from the esoteric and alternative medicine field and the Seelenklempner- and pseudo consultants books that take a huge area in the major bookstores, just because they are zeitgeist phenomena, bring money and because people ask me this? “

Read on Indie Publishing …

Dr. Uwe Kullnick is president of the Free German Authors Association (FDA) and directs the editorial board of the literary association magazine “Literábiles”. He is also an editor at Radio Bayern literature. As a Vice President at Siemens Communications, he has traveled the world, the impressions are the basis for numerous short stories. Kullnick is chairman of the Kindle Storyteller jury.

Indie Publishing provides an overview of central developments in the self publishing market and the market of independent publishers. The offer is to build bridges between the Indies and bookstores, publishers and other multipliers. Core component is the indie catalog, can promote its current title to the trade in the independent publishers and authors.

E-reader Kindle Paperwhite 3G (2015) in the test – connect.de

17/08/2015

E-book readers show digital books at its best , What about the presentation skills of the new Kindle Paperwhite 3G (2015), clarifies our test.

The White Paper is by no means an unknown quantity. Both previous generations still among the top stars among e-book readers. Its origin can not deny also the New. Apart from the now black lettering Kindle nothing worth mentioning has done externally. The nearly 220-gram reader plugged in a very sturdy plastic body. Unlike the Kindle more elegant Voyage display and bezel make no plane front. The practicality is as usual high, although fingerprints on the anti-slip rear left its mark.



More space for digital books

The older Paperwhite gave quite stingy when it comes to the available space. Thus, the tested in the connect 1/2015 version had to settle for 1.3 gigabytes. In successors remain content befitting 3 GB free, so about 3,000 e-books are likely to fit into the virtual bookshelf.

A slot for micro SD cards is still lacking. My Library can be extended as yet. Amazon provides all the books purchased in the Kindle Store available centrally on the online store. Advantage: laptops, phones and tablets, in which the free Kindle reading app is installed, via the data cloud also load e-books from its own collection and open

e-paper display at its finest.

As a focal point of the third-generation Paperwhite is a 15 cm measuring grayscale display that is based on the contrast stronger Carta e-paper technology and now offers twice the HD resolution. With 1072 x 1448 dots (300 dpi) reaches the touch display of the Paperwhite in the fine detail, the peak level of the Kindle Voyage. The lyrics are super clear and very reader-friendly, particularly annoying ghosting the previously displayed content could not be determined.



Strong integrated lighting

From slight shadow on the bottom of the screen aside, the manually adjustable LED illuminates illumination the entire display area evenly. With a contrast ratio of 16: 1 and a maximum brightness of 107 cd / m2 go and laboratory values ​​in order. Since the Reader displays the read mode briefly draw current only at the change, are there, in contrast to tablets and smartphones week long battery life

The new Paperwhite is no exception, although the trend points downwards. For the predecessor Amazon are at day 30 minutes reading time eight weeks. Alike creates the fixed internal battery of the successor “only” six weeks. In addition to the higher-resolution display reading with bright front light and extensive visits shorten in the Kindle Store via Wi-Fi, the intervals between the charging stops. A network adapter for the socket is not in a USB adapter cable for the computer is provided.



The Reader shop

The tested Paperwhite variant connects either via the WLAN standards 802.11 b / g / n or an additionally integrated 3G cellular modem to the preset, unchangeable Kindle book shop. Advantage: Even far from home router brings the Vodafone network the resurrected or the data stored in the cloud e-books wirelessly to the Reader. For this, a SIM card is not even required. Apart from the higher price of the device (from 180 euros) fall for no additional costs to.

The exemplary connection to the Kindle -Shop makes the book purchase with the reader a breeze.

Exemplary reader loyalty

E-paper displays are relatively slow due to technical reasons. Therefore, even today’s “writers” are only very limited for surfing the Internet. When reading their cozy pace falls not significant, but the cooperation is designed hakelig often already in the device setup or while shopping.

Not so with the Kindle readers: The new Paperwhite laminated such systemic weaknesses extremely skillfully. The touch operation is running as usual reliable, relatively quickly and roughly, especially since Amazon has exemplary coupled also the Kindle stores including cloud storage, the mobile version of its readers.

Those who read electronically, the text display can be easily tailored to your own needs. Quick search a passage? No problem, typing term in the virtual keyboard is sufficient. Between Pages jumping back and forth? A finger swipe from the bottom of the screen allows the temporary jump to another text passage, without the need to leave the original page. If the fingers and hold a word, a menu, with the marks of the selected term, among others, or may be provided with their own notes opens.

However, the new typesetting system uses only fully if the e-books are adjusted accordingly. Amazon claims to this should already be the case in more than 500,000 titles.

Watch now!

The wireless entry level with tolerable promotional offers relating to the sleep mode limit and banners on the home page, strikes with 60 euros less impact. But the trade for 99 Euro Paperwhite the second generation is still an excellent choice, especially since Amazon will bring its proven best sellers with an update at least on the cutting edge of typesetting technology.



In calligraphy
