I have always been a paper book lover who likes the texture and taste of paper books. This book “dismisses†the e-books, but with the rapid development of modern technology, the acceleration of social rhythm makes it more and more difficult for me to extract Reading for a fixed amount of time, so using fragmented time to read has become one of my reading methods. With e-books in the world, I have not started to try to use e-books. As a leader in e-readers, Amazon Kindle has once again dedicated a brand new entry-level Kindle to us. Let's make me this "reader" to open the veil of the new Kindle for everyone and show a real Kindle.
Unpacking and appearanceReceived a new generation of Kindle Starter Edition feels very light, after the protection is removed, from the box appearance can be seen simple, refined.
True face
Outer packaging drawer type packaging for easy extraction. The interior is a black product main packaging, black is more calm and atmospheric. There is only one Amazon iconic smiley logo on the front of the package. At the bottom is the product label, which briefly describes the production location and number of the product. The back of the strip is packaged in a strip, so it is more convenient to dismantle it and it will not destroy the outer packaging to ensure its integrity.

Back pull bar design, dismantling more convenient
Tear off the seal, unpack it and see the true face of our Kindle. However, there is no difference between the appearance and the previous Kindle. Below the host is the supporting data cable, manual and warranty card.

The new generation of entry-level Kindle has a small gap with the previous generation. We can hardly see the difference in the front of the camera. The same 6-inch ink screen and Kindle Logo are all familiar. However, the new generation Kindle is more sleek on the back and edge processing, and the sharp lines behind it have disappeared. The sleek style is in perfect harmony with the new style's calm atmosphere. The power button and the power interface are still in the same position. For the old users, they do not need to be familiar with it. Everything is natural. However, the data interface is not a popular Type-C interface, which is a bit of a pity.

Details
Compared to the previous generation, the new generation of Kindle Starter Edition has made great progress in light and thin. The new generation of products weighs only 161g, and the thickness of 9.1mm is also reduced by 11% compared with the previous generation. The biggest benefits of thinning and weight reduction are comfortable feel and good portability.
Kindle - not the same bookcase
The new Kindle's screen has not changed compared to the previous generation. The same 6-inch ink screen, 167ppi pixel density, no backlight, so can not be read in a completely dark environment. Reading under normal light, the font is clear enough. It is a good helper for reading on the commuter road.
Reading experience on the subway
The largest hardware upgrade should belong to the operating memory, from the original 256MB upgrade to 512MB, the actual experience of the reaction is relatively sensitive. However, the actual life is not so magical. It takes about 1 hour to read every day and consumes more than half of the electricity in a week.
In terms of software, the new Kindle has added a lot of localized new features, new word tips (when reading foreign books), Kindle smart recommended books, add notes and share via WeChat or Weibo, and other functions can bring to your reading life. New feelings.
Reading experienceAt the end of the day, the experience of reading is ultimately indispensable. After all, e-books are used for reading, not using parameters. As mentioned earlier, because it is a starter version, there is still no backlight, so it is impossible to read normally under dim lighting conditions. The reading experience under normal light is still very good.
However, in the case of strong light or inaccurate angles, although the ink screen can reduce reflections and reduce eye fatigue caused by prolonged reading, the reflection is still very severe and the reading angle needs to be adjusted.

Reflective fluorescent
Although the ink screen can reduce the visual fatigue caused by reading books for a long time, the background is too dim, and the contrast of the text color is not obvious. After all, the paper book is slightly inferior to the paper book.
No paper book looks bright and bright overall
A new generation of kindle is still not very good in reading comics. This may be related to software, screen resolution, and quality of the books. The characters in the cartoons are very vague, and it is relatively difficult to enlarge the readings in time in a timely manner.
The fonts in the comics are relatively vague, making reading more difficult
Of course, as a Kindle so small, you can hold a library of books, do not have to free up a lot of space to put all kinds of books, and e-books are relatively cheap relative to paper, so a Kindle is still worth having.
You can always take notes during the reading process and share your feelings through WeChat/Weibo at any time. This is also not possible with paper books. What the Kindle brings us is a kind of "quick" reading experience.
Through the Kindle account, you can synchronize the progress of reading the same account on other devices at any time, so that you do not have to repeat the page, the use of convenient.

Caught in the book, can basically ignore
Taken together, the indicators for the new generation of Kindle Starter Edition are quite satisfactory, but is 558 worth? Personally think it is worth! For a person who loves to read a book, reading a book he wants to read at any time is the king. It is more convenient to take a Kindle than to bring a few books. The entire journey will also be very easy.
In terms of appearance, the new entry-level Kindle reader has apparently improved in appearance, is round enough, and is comfortable when held. However, the plastic feeling of the shell is slightly stronger, and the weight is light enough. The use of the wrist for a long time does not have a sense of weight.
The screen resolution of the new generation of Kindle Starter Edition is slightly lower, which is more obvious in the graphic display, but it belongs to the category acceptable. After the memory upgrade, it reflects the speed and response time of the page. Personal feeling is still acceptable. Of course, it is also possible that the price is working.
Although reading lights are not necessary, reading light is much better than no light if the light is strong or weak when light changes are relatively complicated, such as subway or bus.
In summary, the new generation of Kindle Starter Edition has been upgraded and adjusted according to the needs of readers at the hardware and software level. It has to be said that in the entry-level e-book reader, the Kindle has remarkable characteristics in terms of personalization, specialization, and socialization, and thanks to its powerful e-book resources, the Kindle is well-deserved. The current e-book reader on the market leader.
Finally Tucao: Kindle is reading for me. Although there is a web browser, it feels good enough to use Kindle to browse the web.
