Amazon Kindle 2011 – The Ultimate Change In The Kindle Line

So far, the Amazon’s Kindle line has been composed of some simple E-Ink devices. But, the latest Amazon e-reader is not that simple anymore. And this is because it does not only compete with the Kobo and Nook devices but also propose a twist with regard to a few characteristics. The very fist change that anyone can easily observe is the new pocket size of this device.

Moreover, it is very light so that as soon as you place it in one of your pockets, you have the chance to forget about it completely. Obviously, we can imagine that these things are not going to convince you to purchase the latest Amazon Kindle e-reader. For this reason, the following paragraphs are ready to reveal many other important details about this wonderful device.

Hardware

As you already know, the small dimensions of this device have really impressed us. And this is because the company was not kidding when it called this e-reader pocket-sized. Thus, any pant pocket can easily accommodate this device together with a special Amazon proprietary case. Additionally, its rear is rubberized in order to prevent slipping.

The front face of the Amazon Kindle e-reader accommodates four buttons: Home, Menu, Keyboard and Back. In the middle of these buttons, you are able to find two arrows which allow you to navigate its menus. The bottom edge presents the power button.

Additionally, we were able to find two small pads that can be used to illuminate the screen of the device. Although we were not surprised, we could not find the 3G option and text-to-speech function. However, the device supports MP3 audio files.

Another thing that we have found impressive is the sturdy construction of the e-reader. And obviously, if you are going to get the Amazon’s case, you can be sure of the fact that your device will be safe at all times.

Performance

The fact that a small e-reader comes along with some truly incredible capabilities is really amazing, isn’t it? The Amazon Kindle pocket-sized e-reader comes with a processor of 800MHz, which is a truly great value when compared to the previous processor model of only 532MHz. This thing tells anyone that the device is able to sustain different complex tasks at the same time, such as downloading files and browsing internet pages.

Software and Display

The Amazon Kindle e-reader comes along with a beautiful virtual QWERTY capacity, which can be easily upgraded to the Touch program. The software provides a simple, user-friendly interface that allowed us to find everything fast and easily. Moreover, the home page provides information about different details, including the battery life, storage space and many others.

Additionally, the display has also amazed us because, similar to other state-of-the-art e-readers, it also delivers a sharp and clear Pearl E-Ink display. The display comes along with a 16-level gray scale and a resolution of 600 x 800 pixels. The text pops-up fast, being readable in direct sunlight.
