Review on 6" E-book Amazon Kindle PaperWhite 2018 1440x1080, E-Ink, 8 GB, Standard Equipment, sage by Petar Beron ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

Reading in PDF format is, in my opinion, the most significant drawback. Because of multitouch, controlling a Kindle is now more variable; you can swipe, which means that the traditional separation of the screen into zones (for scrolling, calling menus, etc.) is more conditional. I poke to the left side in the hopes of flipping back, but it is not uncommon for the coin to instead flip in the opposite direction. Reading PDF documents has become difficult despite the fact that screen reaction times have improved to a reasonable degree. This is especially true for periodicals that are laid out in columns and have a variable page size (not A4, but a continuous "roll" that extends the length of the full article). In the past, you could expand a fragment all the way to the screen's edges by double tapping on it. This meant that the app could somehow understand the area you wanted to focus on. On the other hand, all you have to do on the PaperWhite is turn the pages. You will experience nerve fatigue provided that you target at the correct region while using the appropriate magnification. On multiple occasions, you will need to rewind the video in both the forward and the backward direction. Additionally, you have the option to begin the process from the very beginning. If you try to zoom in on a PDF document with two fingers, and inadvertently click the URL for the document (and there are a lot of links in magazines these days), the browser will open up immediately. And how exactly do we get back? If you want to switch between the different zoom modes, then you have to remember to depart. All in all, a terrible disappointment. It took me about a week to get used to reading from a computer, but now that I have, it's lot more handy. However, it is not why people purchase readers, is that right? In general, the device appears to be satisfactory at first glance; however, before purchasing it, you should give it a spin in your hands for ten minutes before making the purchase: navigate to the settings; there are very few of them. Be conscious of the constraints imposed by the formats, and identify the ones with which you will engage in the most frequent interaction within the work. It should only take you 15 minutes to determine whether or not this device belongs to you.

Pros
  • I can state without a doubt that the Kindle is an all-time favorite due to the fact that I own not just a Kindle Touch but also a PaperWhite 2022. Construct with care. The screen will nearly instantaneously update when it is in the "pointing" mode and on the required area of the PDF. The capability of delivering files to a device by means of a specific Kindle.com box, even with the addition of the capacity to convert, is an example of an unnecessary function. Backlight - in my opinion, there is no room for criticism because it is both consistent and properly tuned throughout a large range; as a result, the screen substrate feels and looks very much like PaperWhite. The dictionaries included in the set are, in their own right and on their own, an invaluable resource for learning new languages. Memory, something free in the neighborhood of six gigabytes, but also comfortable, if not eight gigabytes. You have the ability to integrate typefaces from other sources into the system! You will no longer have to suffer as a result of dust and crumbs continually falling into the slots of the screen because it has now been lowered to a single level.
Cons
  • Unfortunately, there are too many of them for any one of them to be considered the flagship Kindle for the market. The text on the "main screen" and "back" are already too small and are not as clear as they once were because the resolution of the screen has been increased. This has caused some of the text on the "main screen" to become difficult to read. And for Amazon, the desire to offer you its services in a more intrusive manner has intensified as the company has expanded the number of things it provides beyond selling books. Audible on its own, separate memberships with goodread, and numerous other Prime and comparable subscriptions. It started to make an effort. The search process is not convenient in any way, shape, or form (because everything requires separate searches at the moment, but the search form itself is a single entity). In my opinion, the device's independence from external power sources has significantly decreased. The reader had a charge of less than half its capacity when it was delivered, and its backlight brightness was set to 18 (by default!). Linked to a WiFi network. I anticipated spending approximately two weeks reading in such a default mode. 3-4 hours. However, it will take three days before you are completely discharged. The absence of dedicated buttons to turn off the WiFi and the lighting is another factor that contributes. The aircraft mode has come to our rescue in this situation. Now that it's been fully charged, let's find out how long it lasts. Either the backlight is turned off entirely, or it is set to an uncomfortable 8 level. In the past, it was sufficient for two weeks. When compared to the Kindle Touch, this is a complete and utter failure. It would appear that the clothespin-turned-flashlight is still put to good use. Bluetooth is only necessary for connecting headphones, which you probably won't need to do with your Kindle because it has a headphone jack. Only content that has been purchased from the Audible store can be played on your device. Audible, on the other hand, does not offer a free download and instead requires users to enter their credit card information in order to begin a free monthly trial. I wish that dictionaries, or at least the online versions of them, included audio transcriptions of the terms. but sadly. Accessibility still offers VoiceView, but as far as I've been able to determine, it is only available for the English localization of the system. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. And now we come to the most significant drawback of the Kindle: there are relatively few supported formats, which is not breaking news; however, the fact that they are growing smaller is already starting to terrify people (I compare it to the previous generation of the Kindle Touch): MP3 support has been removed, as has something that was referred to as Active Content (indeed, I was able to play some entertaining games on my Touch device, such as Shuffled Row and some card games).
