  • Melhor opção custobenefício de leitores digitais que temos no Brasil, Apesar dos impostos e taxas adicionais, chegou com um preço bastante acessível
  • Falta de suporte a cartões microSD, Pouco suporte à navegação na loja de livros e qualquer outro recurso que depende do teclado
  • Com o preço fixo de R$ 299, os brasileiros passam a ter uma excelente opção de leitor de livros digitais, talvez a mais competitiva que vimos até agora. O único concorrente direto do Kindle é o Kobo Mini, que tem uma tela de 5 polegadas e recursos pareci...

  • Knivskarp skærm, Online bogkøb, God pris
  • Synkroniserer kun købte bøger
  • Amazon har bestemt ikke sovet i timen. Deres nyeste Kindle har et lækkert design, ligger godt i hånden og har masser af features. Samtidig hører den til blandt de billigere e-bogs-læsere, hvis man køber den på Amazon. Skærmen har rigtig god kontrast og e...
