by Todd R. Weiss
The Best Kindle So Far
The Kindle Voyage is Amazon’s most advanced e-reader so far, with an all-new design and a light weight of only 6.3 ounces for the WiFi version and 6.6 ounces for the WiFi and 3G version.
Sleek, Simple Design
The Kindle Voyage is 6.4 inches tall, 4.5 inches wide and 0.30 inches thick, making it the slimmest Kindle e-reader ever built. This is a view of its rear cover.
A Bright, Clear Paperwhite Display
The Voyage includes an all-new Paperwhite display that has the highest resolution, highest contrast and highest brightness of any Kindle to give users a great reading experience. The display has 300 pixels per inch and uses specially strengthened glass that’s designed to resist scratches.
Thin Profile, Easy to Hold
At only 7.6mm thick, just about the thickness of a lead pencil, the Voyage is comfortable and easy to hold and read for hours. The battery lasts for weeks on a charge.
Plenty of Book Titles to Choose From
The range of ebooks that users can read on the Voyage is amazing, with more than 1 million books priced at $4.99 or less and 2 million titles for $9.99 or less.
Automatic Screen Brightness Control
The Voyage has a display designed to adjust the brightness automatically, based on the surrounding light, and features a new page-turning system called PagePress, which lets users turn pages by lightly pressing the screen’s bezel with their thumbs.
Foreign Language Support
Users can choose to use their Voyage e-reader in English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Dutch or Simplified Chinese. Also featured is dictionary support for all of these languages for easy look-ups of unfamiliar words as you read.
