Our mission with Kindle is to make the device disappear, so you can lose yourself in the author's world, said Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com Founder and CEO. Kindle Voyage is the next big step in this mission. With the thinnest design, highest resolution and highest contrast display, reimagined page turns, and all of the features that readers love about Kindle-books in seconds, no eyestrain or glare, readability in bright sunlight, and battery life measured in weeks, not hours-Kindle Voyage is crafted from the ground up for readers.
Kindle Voyage-Our Most Advanced E-Reader-$199
All-New Design-The Thinnest Kindle Ever
Kindle Voyage features an all-new design, with a beautiful flush glass front and a magnesium back, so it is strong, thin, and light. At just 7.6 mm thin and weighing less than 6.4 ounces, Kindle Voyage is the thinnest device we've ever built, making it even easier to hold with one hand and read for hours.
Next Generation Paperwhite Display
Kindle Voyage uses a brand new Paperwhite display, with the highest resolution, highest contrast, and highest brightness of any Kindle. With 300 pixels per inch, the new Paperwhite display delivers laser-quality text and images. The exclusive flush-front display stack uses specially strengthened glass, which is designed to resist scratches. Since regular glass would create glare, the cover glass on Kindle Voyage is micro-etched in order to diffuse light, ensuring you can read easily in bright light without glare. The etching pattern on the glass also serves to match the feel of paper.
Adaptive Front Light-Our Smartest Front Light
In addition to being our brightest front light ever-39% brighter-the new adaptive front light automatically adjusts the brightness of the display based on the surrounding light. And because not everyone has the same lighting preferences, the adaptive front light can be fine-tuned to your personal preference. Also, since the human eye adjusts to darkness over time, the light you need when you start reading in the dark will seem too bright 30 minutes later-the adaptive front light slowly lowers the display's brightness over time to match the way the eye responds to darkness.
PagePress-Reimagined Page Turns
Kindle Voyage introduces PagePress, a new way to turn pages. PagePress uses a custom-designed force sensor that sits directly under the bezel. You simply rest your thumb on the bezel and turn the page by lightly pressing. When you turn the page, Kindle Voyage delivers tactile feedback from a haptic actuator. The actuator delivers just enough vibration to let you know you turned the page, but is subtle enough that you won't be distracted from your reading. You can personalize both the pressure level needed to trigger a page turn and the haptic feedback level.
Free 3G
Kindle Voyage is available with free 3G, which means you never have to hunt for or pay for a Wi-Fi hotspot-simply download and read books anytime, anywhere, in over 100 countries around the world. Amazon pays for the 3G connection, so you pay no monthly fees and sign no annual contracts.
New Origami Cover
The new origami-style cover design is inspired by the best-selling Origami covers for Fire tablets, and provides a stand for both portrait and landscape positions. Origami covers attach magnetically so they are easy to take on and off, and automatically turn your Kindle Voyage on and off when you open and close the cover. The cover is available starting at $44.99-learn more at www.amazon.com/kindle-origami.
Kindle-Now With Touch, Just $79
The all-new Kindle includes a 20% faster processor, twice the storage, and now features a touch interface and all of the latest features customers love about Kindle, including Kindle FreeTime, Goodreads, and Smart Lookup. The new Kindle is small, light, and portable-toss it in a beach bag or put it in a pocket to always have your reading with you. The new Kindle is great for anyone who's new to e-reading:
Readers who haven't yet experienced an e-reader will be surprised by how easy it is to read on, with no glare even in bright sunlight, and weeks of battery life
Readers who have never tried eBooks will love enhanced reading features like instant dictionary look-up, adjustable font sizes, and X-Ray, which lets them quickly look up character information
Parents will love that they can give their kids a purpose-built e-reader with an easy-to-navigate touch interface, plus great features that help kids learn-Kindle FreeTime, Vocabulary Builder, and more-for just $79
The New Kindle Family: Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, and Kindle Voyage
All Kindle e-readers feature displays that are easy to read with no glare, even in bright sunlight, have battery life that is measured in weeks rather than hours, and are lightweight and easy to hold and read on for hours. You can now choose from three different Kindle e-readers to find the one that is best for you:
The new $79 Kindle, with a 20% faster processor, twice the storage, and touch
Kindle Paperwhite, the best-selling Kindle since its introduction, now with twice the storage so you never have to worry about being w
