The editors didn't like

  • The page-turning buttons being the biggest offenders. On the previous models
  • They were flush on the front of the device. But on the new model

  • En proposant une version francisée de son célèbre Kindle et un catalogue d'ouvrages adapté encore timide mais en bonne progression, Amazon adresse au peuple de l'hexagone le « je vous ai compris » tant attendu. Certes, maintenant nous pouvons nous plaindr...

  • Le prix, le format compact qui tient dans la poche, la connexion Wi-Fi et l’accès direct à la librairie en ligne.
  • Le manque de contraste de l’écran, absence d’adaptateur secteur (vendu à part mais pas indispensable), autonomie inférieure à ce qui est annoncé en mode Wi-Fi.

  • Aussi surprenant que ça puisse paraître, c'est cette version 4 que j'ai trouvé plus intéressante que la version Touch. En effet, dans la lecture d'un livre, je m'en fous un peu d'avoir un écran tactile, les boutons sur les tranches fonctionnent bien et ça...

  • Peut être emporté partout
  •  Système fermé, incompatible ePub
  • Cet appareil léger, joli et d'une belle finition a presque tout pour plaire : moins cher que la plupart de ses concurrents, il excelle dans sa fonction, et son autonomie exceptionnelle (3 semaines avec le Wi-Fi éteint, selon Amazon) en fait vite un compag...

  • Sicuramente è l'ebook reader da prendere per chi ha una collezione Amazon o per chi si avvicina per la prima volta al settore. Lo sconto di 20€ rispetto al modello precedente, i 129 euro necessari per Kindle Touch e la commercializzazione incerta di Kind...

  • Ottime performance, dimensioni, autonomia
  • Non ha il 3G, mancano le funzioni audio
  • In conclusione, l'Amazon Kindle si conferma uno degli eBook reader più interessanti attualmente sul mercato: gli utenti che vogliono acquistarlo possono farlo direttamente sul sito di Amazon Italia dove è disponibile a 99 euro; la versione americana è in...

  • Abstract:  Ho provato il nuovo Kindle 4 “con bottoni e pubblicità” come lo si definisce in rete. E' l'ebook reader Amazon da 6 pollici che per la prima volta è privo di tastiera fisica, sostituita da un joystick direzionale a 5 funzioni. E' il Kindle più piccolo e l...
