Amazon Kindle renews its shelves in Wi-Fi and 3G
Amazon has a new compact version of its Kindle electronic book reader. Prices start at $ 139.
Small (19cm high x 12cm wide), the new Kindle is sold in two versions, 3G or Wi-Fi - the latter model, whose price has been reduced to $ 139, is designed for those who do see no need to download a book on 3G anywhere and anytime. They will have to refuel before moving literature, except to buy a box or a public network or on their way to their holiday destination. With a screen diagonal of 15 cm, measurements reduced as indicated above, a thickness of 8.5 mm and weighing only 246 g, this new Kindle takes the opposite view of the immense DX. Its aim is therefore to be carried around.
Two times more memory
Technically, the camera memory has been doubled to 4GB, says Amazon. What to store 3,500 pounds, according to the calculations of online retailers. The screen has also been improved, even if the technology remains one of the electronic ink, which by nature has a much higher resolution than LCD panels and OLED, it should behave better in a bright environment: in Clearly, reading in the sun should not be a problem.
A dollar proceeds
But is the price that Amazon has made the greatest effort. Version lacks 3G connection is available for only $ 139, while the 3G model is $ 189. To the extent that such products must be purchased from the American version of the site and Amazon shipped from the United States must also provide the additional cost to French VAT. Also note that neither case nor charger are provided. For recharging the internal battery, USB cable, however, delivered. Attention finally publishing rights: even if you read English perfectly, try to download onto his Kindle one for which the publishing contract does not France can result in failure ...
