Discount on Kindle Voyage, for selected customers – ALLESebook.de

It is not so long ago that Amazon could bring in a huge success with the first illuminated eBook Reader of the company. The device was to have a long time only with massive delays in delivery. But are likely to be incurred in addition to the high demand, due to a quality issue. The clouds of color of the first Kindle Paperwhite got the shipping giant, however, a few weeks after the start in the handle.

Not quite as good it looks in this country from the Kindle Voyage , The premium eReader continue fighting reportedly with the gradient problem that we have already criticized in our test and is repeatedly criticized in various customer reviews yet. Even if it is fair to say that seems not to be affected by any member of the series of this deficiency (and the severity of the problem in some cases significantly different), so having just yet led to the Voyage with an average rating of 3 6 stars at Amazon.de is currently the least popular Kindle ebook reader. British customers (4.5 stars) and US buyers (4.3 stars) go with the model is not quite as harshly.

Kindle Voyage for the first time with discount

This then leads to the Amazon.de Kindle Voyage selected customers a 10 or 20 € discount voucher (see the forum) offering cheaper. By e-mail received by the persons concerned a personalized code that you get the credit for the purchase of the unit (to March 14).

In the corresponding e-mail states: “ Based on your interests and Amazon purchases we would like to offer you a Kindle eReader at very attractive prices. Until March 14, 2015 You get the Kindle Voyage from only 179 EUR. Save 10 EUR. To take advantage of this limited time offer, enter at checkout your promo code.

It is the first time, that the Voyage is in this country at a lower price. The price of the Premium model is thus reduced, at least for a certain group of customers up to 169 Euros. In case of problems can a faulty device can of course replace as usual, so interested parties with a voucher code to purchase can risk entirely. May cheaper to get current that is not a high-end eBook Reader.

Wrapped be one anyway, as a possible Preisredukation effect on the customer criticism. An important argument point of the gradient problem affects namely the high selling price. If the unit price, one would accept the slight irregularity rather, say some buyers

Bald discount and error correction?

The fact that the campaign will run until mid-March, it is quite interesting, because in the US Voyage to date (again) not available and only from 22 (with commercials) and March 31 (ad-free) available. Maybe then comes at last the long-awaited revision, which I have more than once speculated. My requested replacement device can since November and several postponements also slow in coming – now without advertised delivery

Since November makes my (hopefully error free) replacement unit on to wait

The long wait is for a warranty replacement by no means common. As already reported several times, most customers get their replacement Voyage within a few days – if necessary, even several times. I have to wait so long, may have to do with the fact that I already had to replace the first Kindle Paperwhite several times – so long until I receive an error-free device. Perhaps it is also related to the sales together or is it an accounting error, but I did not think about the many specific shifts.

The discount now granted shows in any case where the price of the Kindle Voyage will move sooner or later. In the future, the discount

could be extended to all customers (ie without coupon). In the meantime, the Kindle Paperwhite remains the main dedicated reader for Amazon Germany. The eReader is for 99 € (instead of 129 €) incl. 5 sold preselected eBooks and provides the most important competitors Tolino Vision 2 quite clearly. Now with over 7,000 customer reviews and an average rating of 4.6 stars, it is also the most popular Amazon eBook Reader, it is purchased you can not go far wrong.

No Kindle Paperwhite jailbreak for newer firmwares – ALLESebook.de

Software modifications delight in the mobile consumer electronics market popularity. Technology Affine people often change with enthusiasm (other times out of necessity) the existing firmware of a device to take it as their own requirements in more detail. Smartphones are have software modifications (Nook, Sony) has a quite long tradition probably the most popular modding object, followed by tablets and also with the eBook readers.

During many smartphone manufacturers have already realized that their success largely depends on the adaptation possibilities (as in some cases completely open units are available, or they can be unlock by code or program – with a limited warranty!), things look at eReaders quite different. Vulnerabilities, which can be used to manipulate the software are often closed without comment by the manufacturer. This happened at Sony Tolino and now on Amazon. Although the machines can usually still chop cable with a serial connection, a simple root option without hardware access visit but usually not.

New firmware prevents Jailbreak

The Kindle Paperwhite a secret facelift has been subjected in the course of the year 2014 (we reported), in which the memory space has been doubled. Even here, the device was only a trick to “jailbreak” what was discussed here in a separate manual. Meanwhile, there’s another software update that unfortunately completely prevents root access as a pure software solution.

Only by jailbreak or root can be a separate screen saver on Paperwhite install

All firmware versions with the number 5.6.x or higher are not adaptable for the known user modifications. If the device is delivered with such a version, you have to be content with the regular options. For the average Joe consumer is not important for power users but quite annoying. Especially because of the Kindle Paperwhite for the price of 99 euros offers excellent value for money and excellent hardware.

The same holds true for the two other Kindle readers. For Kindle Touch and Voyage, there’s also no Jailbreaklösung

Android eReader as niche products – with future

Fortunately, other manufacturers are trying to fill the gap that continues to close the large suppliers. Above all, Onyx offers all new eBook Reader models with Android 4.x on, even including a direct Google Play Store access, so you can use the eReader basically like a simple tablet and simple re-install apps. Also the root access works here usually no problems whatsoever.

Icarus and ImCoSys are two others that are also jumped on the Android train and 6 inch offer with Google’s mobile operating system – but without the Play Store access

Until now, but you had to basically for all these devices a number of disadvantages to accept so. the advantage of the openness of the system for many users something moves into the background again. On the one hand, the hardware is often slightly worse (screen contrast, battery life, …), on the other hand, there’s often shortcomings in the (pre-installed) Software (Stabiltiätsprobleme, low functionality, unfinished functions, …). In short, these solutions are for modding friends by no means perfect

The ImCoSys V6L was one of the first open Android eReader on the German market in great demand, but struggled at the beginning with some stability problems of software

While the modification possibilities Amazon & amp; Co. but continue to shrink continuously, an end to Android devices (despite the bottom line low market share) Out of sight, as the boom continues, particularly in Asia on.

Power users in the Kindle Paperwhite because of the good price and great hardware have also taken a few hurdles in purchase to make the desired software modifications, must therefore reorient in the future if possible. At the moment, is not foreseeable when (and if) the current Kindle model generation can be hacked. When you purchase this, you should be aware of and best checking the firmware Upon receiving the unit equal in any case. The jailbreak instructions so only with reservations available.

The functionality is the Kindle Paperwhite but in nothing.

The tablet is for 99 euro also inexpensive, although as usual criticism of highly customized Android interface applies , That might also be a reason why the shipping giant in 2014 had caused many feathers on the tablet market and has seen massive declines in sales, according to IDC.

Away from the Valentine’s Day offers two’s but two other tablets cheap: The Kindle Fire HDX 7 (from 159 euros) and Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 (from around 287 euros) are reduced in price for some time. In the 7 inch model saves you 90 euros, the larger unit it is even slightly above 190 EUR savings. In both cases, you get excellent hardware counterpart, but have to deal again with the well-known software limitations. Hobbyists who like to experiment with custom ROMs and Android root, have here but certainly a cheap option for a powerful device to come.

But also for the average Joe consumer, the existing software limitations not necessarily negative. Watch Internet surfing, movies, and pictures one or the other game (from the Amazon App Store or by side-loading), the tablets are certainly ideal. Even Prime customers can through close Amazon Services integration take a closer look at the two HDX devices.

It will be interesting to see in which direction the Amazon tablet business will go in the future. In the past year we have expanded the range again and lures with the current price action. The downward trend in sales has but apparently not stopped. Depending on the country and counting Amazon currently has between five and six tablets in
