U.S. ambassador took the oath on the Kindle – GIGAmir

U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein became the first diplomat , sworn on electronic handheld device: Susie Levin swore allegiance to their country, putting his hand on the e-reader Amazon Kindle. On the screen at this point displays the Constitution of the United States, open to the first page of the Nineteenth Amendment (bestower of suffrage to all citizens, regardless of gender). Apparently, the authorities Susie was not against: the ceremony was broadcast live on Twitter U.S. Embassy.

Levin desire to keep pace with technology is easily explained: Madam Ambassador previously worked on the IT-giant Microsoft, where she worked on educational projects. This is not the first time , when American officials used gadget for taking the oath; in February of this year, the fire brigade of New Jersey opened the Bible on the iPad, not finding the paper version.

While not obvious how to treat this phenomenon – one on this question can be answered only when we see U.S. President gently puts his hand on touchscreen tablet next. One thing is clear: more likely to be in your pocket would be an e-book than a printed copy of the Constitution of the United States.

U.S. ambassador took the oath on the Kindle – RT on Russian

Russian Embassy in India has confirmed the death of the Russians – were killed 13 or 14 people

Susan Levine, the U.S. representative in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, became the first ambassador, sworn on electronic reader, which was pumped copy of the U.S. Constitution.

According to The Washington Post, the relevant photo and tweet were lined Twitter-account in the U.S. Embassy in London: “The characteristic of the XXI century oath; @ AmbSuzi becomes the first U.S. ambassador, sworn on electronic handheld device. ” U.S. Senate considers this oath legitimate and approved Suzi Levine as Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

According to journalists, similar to Levine novshevstv is not surprising: More recently, in 2009 -2012., she worked in the corporation Microsoft.

This is not the first time that e-books are used instead of the traditional oath. In February, the fire services of the New Jersey swore on the Bible open in Annex iPad – as the newspaper notes, the paper version of the book they just have not found.

In early January 2014 the tablet instead of the Bible also used Edward Mangano, head Nassau County Executive in the Bahamas.

Despite what readers and tablets almost signed sentence paper literature, scientists believe reading traditional books are much more effective than injection masterpieces of literature in Kindle.

results of recent experiments that have been conducted in the University of California, claiming that the human brain prefers the printed text as the information read in the paper book, much longer stays in memory, and the process of reading is more thoughtful , which in turn causes the human imagination work harder than when using electronic devices.

The updated Paperwhite improved screen, increased speed and slightly changed the back cover – that’s about all the changes and new items.

Purchase

There are three ways to acquire new Paperwhite. Since I bought this book, and did not take to review, then let me tell you about each of them.

method number 1 . Easiest. Buy a book from one of our dealers. Come on Yandex.Market, drive a book title, choose Store rating / price / location.

method number 2 . Order directly from Amazon. With relatively recently Amazon delivers your e-books and directly in Russia. Rather, delivered. Now, because of the many new laws they like, canceled this delivery. And sorry, I’m just so ordered. By money gets about the same as taking our dealers (when you choose shipping country Russia, Amazon automatically substituted version without advertising, eventually came out with the delivery of the same 5300 rubles).

Method number 3 . Ask someone to buy the book from friends who are planning to fly to the United States. I do not think that many people regularly flies to the United States, but if you know of any, then why not contact them?



Options

  • E-book
  • cable for connection to PC

In Amazon traditionally put in a set of only the most necessary and more users are buying accessories for your money.

Appearance, materials, controls, assembly

Appearance book has not changed since the days of Paperwhite 2012: the same plastic coated soft-touch, the same rounded corners and logo Kindle under the screen.

only slightly changed design of the logo on the back cover: Paperwhite in 2012 it was written on Kindle, and the new – Amazon.

Underneath connector microUSB, power button and the battery charger. Last shows amber when charging and green when fully charged.

I would like to talk a bit about the materials. Despite the fact that the plastic-coated soft-touch looks more practical than gloss, it also has disadvantages. For example, he quickly collects fingerprints (and although they are not as noticeable as on a glossy plastic, they are still visible), and scrub them is problematic. Keep this in mind when buying. The same applies to various small dust particles. The most attentive noticed them on the photos above, I note that I wiped the device literally 30 seconds before the photograph.

K assembly has one only claim: a few months of use I noticed that the back cover is a little pressed, if you press on it. With everyday use, this defect is not noticeable, but it was worth noting.

Dimensions

Dimensions Kindle Paperwhite 2013 are the same dimensions of the previous model, only the weight changed. By the way, the competitors of this book a little easier, but thicker.



Length (mm) Width (mm) Thickness (mm) Weight (g)
Kindle Paperwhite 2012 169 117 9 213
Kindle Paperwhite 2013 169 117 9 206
Pocketbook Touch 2 175 115 10 198
Barnes & Noble Nook GlowLight 165 128 11 175

book is comfortable to hold for a long time as one and two hands, its dimensions are ideal for both scenarios.

Screen

Display size – 6 inches, resolution – 1024h758 points, type of matrix – E -Ink Pearl, touch screen.

To begin with – a few words about the “sensory” display. I once tested eBooks from B-brands, and there touch layer was made as a separate glossy film. Bad screen to respond to touch, and glossy film negate the advantage of electronic books for easy reading on a sunny day.

Do Kindle Paperwhite (both generations) also has a touch layer, but it has a matte finish, so no problems with reading the sun at you will not have. The screen surface is slightly rough to the touch, the sensations reminiscent of plain paper.

Illumination by means of four LEDs, covering not the screen, and a transparent panel covering it.

With the technical implementation and characteristics understood, now for the quality of the display. In 2013 Paperwhite excellent screen: perfectly legible even small fonts, contrast is very good. As for the “sensory” screen, then it has no complaints – the display reacts to the lightest of depression, instant responsiveness.

When the backlight appears the feeling that you are reading with the usual small screen tablet. However, things are not so simple. I have long used the tablets and smartphones to read and I can say that after a couple of hours reading in the dark you get tired eyes. When reading from Paperwhite (both current and previous generation) have no such problems (I read in the dark for about six hours without a break, during which time almost tired eyes). Interestingly, the lights come in handy not only at night but during the day, for example, in the dimly lit subway cars.

Now the changes compared to the previous generation Paperwhite. First, the temperature of illumination changed in the past generation it was “cold” in the new version as it did “warm”. For the end user, this means that before was white with shades of blue, and now he’s more like a light beige. Perhaps the best difference is visible in the pictures.

Screens Paperwhite 2012/2013 on a sunny day (2012 to the right, left in 2013)

Screens Paperwhite 2012/2013 in dimly lit room (2012 on the right, left in 2013)

Screens Paperwhite 2012/2013 in the Dark (2012 right, left in 2013)

Four LEDs to illuminate the display (2012 right, left in 2013)

comparison screens using different size fonts (2012 right, left in 2013, the maximum illumination in the dark)

To summarize: at the moment Paperwhite 2013 one of the best touch screen with backlight of all e-books.

User Interface

I like the Amazon e-books for their simplicity. The interface is not overloaded settings, it’s fairly easy to figure out where everything is.

The first time you will need to login with an account that Amazon, this step can be skipped, but I strongly do not recommend it and just below explain why.

main menu is presented in the form of book covers, located underneath the recommendations Amazon store and advertising, if you book with her version. If desired, the main menu view can be changed on a regular list (to me, by the way, just like a list).

In the status bar you can see the charge indicator books, current time, Wi-Fi icon and the name of your book. Underneath are seven icons.

  • Home – returns you to the main menu.
  • Back – returns to the previous menu.
  • Brightness Adjustment – allows you to quickly change the brightness of the built-in lighting.
  • Amazon.com – move to an adapted version of the E-reader store books.
  • Search – allows you to quickly search for all books and articles on the newsreader (Russian language is not).
  • Service GoodReads – with its Use it to quickly share a book you are reading and see what other users are divided.
  • Settings – here is a pilot does, FreeTime service for children (again, not very relevant for Russia), the detailed settings and forced synchronization.

settings when working with a book

Paging is performed by pressing the left and right edges screen (previous / next page), for these purposes, you can use gestures and left / right.

To cause the top panel with the settings, you need to click on the upper left edge of the screen. Clicking on the upper right edge of the left tab on the open page.

need for screenshots simultaneously press the upper left and lower right or lower left and upper right of the screen. Recommend pushing right into the corner of the screen. Screenshots are saved in the root folder.

Increase or decrease font by using “pinch” two fingers. In addition to setting the size of the letters, you can choose one of several fonts, set the distance between the rows and the distance along the edges of the book.

Also in 2013 there was a feature Paperwhite viewing two pages at a time. To do this you need to open the top menu (click the upper left corner while reading), and then pull the part up to the title of the chapter. You can without losing the current page to open any chapter from the book.

К content >>>

formats

Support various formats is the weakest books from Amazon, in fact assumes that you will buy books from their corporate store. Here are the formats that support the book: Kindle Format 8 (AZW3), Kindle (AZW), TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI, PRC natively; HTML, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG. As you can see, there is no FB2, no ePub, or DJVU.

In fact, the “native” format for the book is the PRC, and many libraries, and virtual bookstores (eg Litres) allow download book in this format immediately after purchase. On the other hand, no problems when converting FB2 and ePub to PRC / MOBI not, you can use the converter Calibre or another program.

I do not recommend to consider this book to read PDF, yet for this format requires a ten- reader. But with reading conventional books in PRC have no problems. At DOC, too, especially do not expect very much depends on the particular file format.

Fill books

addition to the traditional method with the USB-cable, you can upload your book Paperwhite 2013 using a special application for PC / Mac. The essence of the program is simple: you open with the help of PRC-file, and then send to your Kindle. A few minutes later the book appears on your device (if it is connected to Wi-Fi). This is a very convenient way to be honest, I’ve forgotten when was the last time you connected to your computer Paperwhite. By the way, the same way you can fill books on your smartphone that is running Amazon.

Another interesting possibility reader – the ability to send articles to your Kindle using the browser extension called Send to Kindle. Articles themselves are formatted to fit the screen reader. However, after the formatting is lost pictures (in any case, if we talk about the articles from Mobile-Review).

Disabling ads

There are two versions of the Kindle Paperwhite – with and without advertising. The price difference between them is $ 10 (and our dealers can reach up to two thousand rubles). In fact, advertising is pretty unobtrusive – a small banner in the list of books and Special Offers on the lock screen.

If you bought a version with ads and want to get rid of it, you can use one of two ways.

  1. Pay off advertising on Amazon. Same procedure costs $ 10 if I’m not mistaken.
  2. write to technical support, to say that the book you gave, you yourself Russian-speaking and Special Offers for you useless. The guys from the JV will disconnect you free advertising. More details about this method, тут.

speed of

information on the technical component of the device is not too much. Reader itself works on a simplified version of Linux, for the performance meets the single-core processor with 1 GHz capacity internal drive – 2 GB RAM – 256 MB.

Pro speed new Paperwhite need to know exactly two things:

  1. This is one of the fastest-readers on the market. If you are tired of retarding books from B-brands, then you can safely take Paperwhite 2013, the performance will surprise you.
  2. book runs about 20-25% faster than the previous Paperwhite, is expressed primarily in the faster drawing the new pages.

Autonomy

Manufacturer does not data about the capacity of the battery, only notes that the book is able to work up to 8 weeks without recharging at a brightness of 10/25. From my own experience I can say that at maximum brightness 2013 Paperwhite charge enough for 9-10 days while reading about 2-3 hours a day. If the backlight to reduce or turn off these figures will only increase.

К content >>>

Conclusion

average price of Kindle Paperwhite 2013 (with Special Offers) in the Russian Internet stores is 5 000-5 300 rubles. In the U.S. version of the reader with the advertising will cost you $ 100-120 (for example, now there is a sale) if we take delivery of the prize costs will be minimal, so I recommend buying the book at us.

And on this and other covers for Kindle Paperwhite 2013 will be discussed in a future article

What I liked Kindle? First of all, its simplicity and speed. Scrolling happens instantly, navigate menus and settings change too. In the second place – his wonderful touch E-Ink display. Since it is easy to read both day and night, and it is perfectly responds to pressing. And the last advantage reader from Amazon – a convenient means of delivering books via Send to Kindle.

Disadvantages? To him, I’ll take a small amount of support book formats and lack of Russian language in the interface.

Personally, I would like very much to Amazon bookstore opened in Russia, followed by the sale of Russian-language books. href=”http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mobile-review.com%2Farticles%2F2014%2Famazon-kindle-paperwhite2013.shtml%23content”>К href=”http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mobile-review.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2Finuse-nook.shtml”>Barnes href=”http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mobile-review.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2Fpocketbook-touch2.shtml”>Pocketbook href=”http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mobile-review.com%2Farticles%2F2014%2Famazon-kindle-paperwhite2013.shtml%23content”>К href=”http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mobile-review.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2Ftouch2-vs-paperwhite.shtml”>Сравнение href=”http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mobile-review.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2Famazon-kindle-paperwhite.shtml”>Обзор href=”http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=mailto%3Ae.vildyaev%40mobile-review.com”>e.vildyaev@mobile-review.com)

    Three Shell Case for Amazon Kindle Paperwhite – Mobile-review

     AddThis Social Bookmark Button

    Print Bloggers

    idea of ​​the article was born quite simply, I wanted to order a branded cover, went to Amazon.com, and then it started … So, in the end I bought three cover, which will be discussed in this material.

    Before describing the covers I note that Paperwhite 2012/2013 are identical in size (a few grams difference omit, it does not matter), so today covers all considered suitable for both generations Kindle Paperwhite .

    Contents:

    1. Оригинальный Case-cover
    2. Moko Slim Shell Cover for Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
    3. Moko Vertical Flip for Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
    4. Заключение


    Original Case-cover

    Personally, I’m of the opinion that the original accessories are best suited devices and are the most reliable. It is this assumption was an argument in favor of buying the original cover.

    main material outer cover – leather (at least, so say on the official website). From the standpoint of practicality to it no claim: in book cover is comfortable to hold, and the cover can be easily cleaned of any debris.

    Original case-cover  Original case-cover  Original case-cover

    The inside of the cover is finished with a microfiber (if we are talking about fitting parts), and the “bath”, which set the book itself is made of rubberized plastic. Book sits snugly in a case, no backlash.

    Original case-cover  Original case-cover

    We cover has a magnetic latch, thanks to her case was not disclosed in the bag, as an optional feature latches – turn off the screen when it is closed and the switch when opening . It is very convenient to quickly get used to this functionality.

    Original case-cover  Original case-cover

    worth noting that in the company’s Kindle looks really cool cover.

    Online available seven different colors: pink , honey, dark blue, black, red-orange, purple and light brown. In my opinion, would not prevent another lime and blue, but what is not, that is not.

    cover can buy on Amazon.com for $ 35 or from our dealers for 2000 rubles. Given the dollar and pay for the services of intermediaries, I think it will be easier to get a cover we have savings of 300-400 rubles is not worth the time to wait.

    Moko Slim Shell Cover for Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

    have the original cover from Amazon has two minuses – high cost and limited number of colors. But its counterpart from Moko deprived of both shortcomings, which is why I drew attention to their covers.

    Moko Slim Shell Cover for Amazon Kindle Paperwhite  Moko Slim Shell Cover for Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

    Right – the original cover, the left – a variant of Moko

    Case Externally very similar to its original counterpart, differing only in color. In my arms was a light blue version, only 12 colors available.

    Moko Slim Shell Cover for Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

    Unlike the original cover, the option of Moko made of polyurethane (artificial leather). The advantage of such solutions in reducing prices and the opportunity to make almost any coloring cover. Minus – in the hands of Case felt cheaper as me this stuff seemed less durable.

    rear of the cover has a white plastic bezel, the rest of the back covers the same polyurethane.

    Like the original cover , Moko has the ability to turn on / off the screen when opening / closing the lid. Also present and a magnetic latch. By the way, open this cover is heavier than the original cover from Amazon.

    Moko Slim Shell Cover for Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

    Of course, the main plus point of this case – the price. At the same Amazon.com it sells for $ 12-15. In Russian online stores I have not seen such a cover, but like, a copy of the original accessory stand with us for 1000 rubles.

    Moko Vertical Flip for Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

    During one of the flights I was confronted with the fact that keep a long time in the hands of a book is not always convenient, and before the next trip, decided to look myself cover-stand. Model of Moko I liked immediately – inexpensive, with a magnetic latch, all slots are open.

    Moko Vertical Flip for Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

    main material used – polyurethane, it is made of a large part of the cover. And although the name of the material is the same as in the previous cover, tactile it differs from the previous model. Touch cover is more like a kind of smooth plastic, rather than artificial skin.

    Moko Vertical Flip for Amazon Kindle Paperwhite  Moko Vertical Flip for Amazon Kindle Paperwhite  Moko Vertical Flip for Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

    format cover – vertical flip. To open the cover, you need to fold the cover back. By the way, the cover has two magnetic latches, thanks to them the book turned on / off by opening / closing the cover, as it allows the lid to not hang out in the closed state.

    In the open position, you can lock the cover in one of three positions with different angles of inclination.

    K word format is a universal stand, if you want to book in a case, you can set something else if there are no other options.

    cover itself is pretty massive, he significantly increases the size of the book, as distinct from the first two models. However, it functions and more.

    Case sold on Amazon.com for $ 13. In my opinion, Moko Vertical Flip is for those who often reads on long journeys (in flight or on the train, where there is a folding table), but for everyday reading on the subway, he is not very comfortable.

    • Ссылка to cover at Amazon.com

    Conclusion

    models from Moko you can only purchase on Amazon.com through intermediaries (or banderolku Shipito), the original cover is sold and our dealers. Frankly, I do not know how you, dear readers, it is interesting to read about the accessories, officially unavailable in Russia, so I ask you to speak in the comments.
