Kindle reader: Amazon’s strength

In 2007, Amazon introduced an electronic book reader (e-book) called Kindle. Kindle is therefore the brand name of a range of electronic readers and tablets (called Kindle Fire) produced by Amazon

The Kindle was not the first dedicated electronic book reader, but it did not really have a lot of competition. Nor was there a huge demand on the market for electronic books before launching the Kindle.

The Kindle displays images and text using e-ink ink which imitates the appearance of a printed sheet. They can be held in one hand, like a book. They allow users to take the last page read even after a break and offer a net contrast for easy visibility.

Amazon has two separate advantages compared to the first manufacturers of electronic books.

The largest online library

The company designed the Kindle for a transparent interface with the Amazon online store. Amazon hosts over a million titles in electronic format. Because the Kindle is wireless, you can access the store without connecting the device to a computer. You can buy an ebook or subscribe to the electronic version of a newspaper on Amazon and download it directly from the Kindle.

The largest store in the world

The second advantage is that Amazon is the first e-commerce and has a large customer base.

These two factors give the Kindle one step ahead of the competition like Rakuten and its readers Kobo or Booken . Whatever the reproaches made to the brand in particular that of “confining” its users to the Amazon universe with the clean format of its e-books Azw, the Kindle remains the best-selling reader.

Let us recall that the Kindle readers do not read intuitivemt the E-Pub format (unlike the tea e-readers), the most widespread format outside the Amazon library. Finally to be able to read it, you have to go through the caliber software, very easy to use.

From Amazon readers to Amazon tablets

With his experience with readers, Amazon offered his first tablet Le Kindle Fire in 2012. It was sort of Amazon’s response to Apple’s iPad tablet but even if these tablets are offered to the general public in low cost mode, they remain of quality. We have already said it and we repeat it but a tablet is not a reader, although you can read books and magazines or newspapers with. Learn more

Kindle Fire: 2 tablet models for Amazon

But what is Amazon Fire?

THE Fire is a tablet. It’s a small device, a bit like a cross between a smartphone and a laptop. Unlike the Kindle E-Ink readers, designed only for reading textual supports such as books, newspapers and some blogs, the Kindle Fire allows you to watch television programs, films, listen to music, navigate the web, read Books, send emails, play video games access tens of thousands of Android applications…

THE Kindle Fire works on a version of the Android operating system from Google. It has a color screen and offers basic features such as the possibility of broadcasting video and music (and much more) while continuing to be an electronic player. On the other hand, the Google Play Store is not supported.

Fire 7: entry -level

Amazon offers its first prize tablet which runs Android and which has 7 hours of autonomy. You can add a microSD card to extend storage to 512 GB

Compact with a satisfactory color rendering, it is Amazon’s cheap tablet that you can find less than € 80 for a capacity of 16GB. This tablet is also offered with a capacity of 32GB with or without a special offer (hear advertising on the watch screen)

It has a 1.3 GHz quadricœur processor, 1.5 GB of RAM and Dolby Audio. It is also possible to extend storage up to 512 GB by adding a micro SD card. This tablet is also offered with a capacity of 32GB with or without special offers.

The final word

Here you know everything about the range of readers and tablets offered by Amazon. The Kindle or Fire of Amazon should no longer have a secret for you. Especially if you have taken the time to read the tests and my opinion on each of the products. Some are resistant to the Amazon brand and will find their happiness in other brands to escape the American giant. If we remove any ideology, Kindle readers are readers at the best value for money. Afterwards, the important thing, once again, is that you buy the apparatus that suits you and which you will be satisfied.

While waiting for stocks to run out, we still find?

To find an old model of an Amazon reader, you have to go to the reconditioned products if you find your happiness. But frankly, given the price of the new Kindles is it really a good deal? Especially since, regularly, Amazon lowers the prices of its readers especially during the Black Friday (in November) or during the Prime Day, the Amazon days (mid July general)

There are still some models of the 2017 oasis (9th generation). This reader is called to disappear . We do not necessarily recommend it unless for the price you want a model with free 3G.

Why use a Kindle reader ?

Amazon is, historically, an online bookseller. The site offers millions of works in paper format and thanks to Audible, it also gives access to audio books, especially on an Echo speaker. With his Kindle readers, the merchant responds to a problem that books of books regularly encounter: where to store all the works read ? On a Kindle 8 GB, you can record around 3000 ebooks: in paper format, these same books would undoubtedly fill all the walls of your accommodation. This is a first argument in favor of the reader. Then the latter is very light: it never exceeds 200 grams. Some large works may exceed the kilogram and take up space in a bag ! The digital reader allows you to lighten and read very comfortably. Finally, another device of the device: you don’t have to travel to buy a new book, since you can buy your ebooks directly from its screen. So many good reasons to succumb to it.

What are the formats of books compatible with a Kindle reader ?

Many ebooks formats can be read on an Amazon Kindle reader. This is the case of the Kindle Format 8 (AZW3) and the Kindle (AZW), but also TXT, PDF, unprotected and prc native. You can also read the HTML, Doc, Docx, Jpeg, GIF, PNG and BMP formats, provided that the latter is converted. Note that the weight of these formats may vary sharply, which necessarily has an impact on the total number of electronic books that you can store on your reader.

Kindle 2022 reader

This is the big novelty of the year 2022 at Amazon with this new Kindle reader which is the first reader to offer an HD screen of 300 ppi and 16 GB for a price less than 100 €.

In short, this is the excellent quality / price ratio, especially since this reader is now compatible with the eBook format.

Liseuse Kindle Paperwhite

The Kindle Paperwhite reader in its 2021 version with large screen and blue light filter is a success

Amazon has been offering a new Kindle Paperwhite reader since the end of last year with a large 6.8 -inch screen.

In addition, the reader is equipped with a blue light filter that tints the lighting to read more comfortably.

To top it all, The price remains very attractive and today below the competition on large format readers.

Kindle Oasis reader

We enter the luxury reader with this Kindle Oasis which was released at the end of July 2019 who will not be for everyone.

This is the same reader as the previous version of 2017 with a new adjustable lighting which allows filter blue light.

The first good news is that the price of € 289.99 of the old version goes to € 249.99 with this model. Another good news: we now have a 7 -inch screen as well as a waterproof reader.

This oasis therefore has A 7 -inch lit and touch screen Of very good quality (we are still on 300 ppi and this is the best with electronic ink technology).

Kindle Oasis reader offers physical buttons which make it possible to hold the reader in one hand and to turn the pages (by advancing or backing).

Due to her design, it is also a very light reader thought for large readers and both well suited to left -handers and right -handers.

But, with its price, this Kindle Oasis remains a luxury, even in 2023 !

Kindle Scribe

Amazon has been offering a large reader with a 10.2 inch screen since the end of 2022 and a stylus screen. The Kindle Scribe is a high -end machine that will mainly suit professionals who will need to work on many documents (note taking, corrections, rereading, etc.)).

Conclusion: Paperwhite, the best Kindle reader for 2023 !

I have always had a decided opinion on the Amazon readers. I think the two cheapest models are the best.

And the models available in 2023 do not make me change my mind !

Indeed, the Kindle Oasis reader is too expensive in view of its services (certainly, quite high -end).

Official description of the new Kindle Paperwhite 2021 reader

I therefore recommend the Kindle Paperwhite with large 6.8 -inch screen (available on Amazon.Fr) to those who want to buy a Kindle digital reading machine.

With this model, we have access to all modern features (touch, waterproofing and lighting) as well as a larger screen While staying in a very correct price range.

The Kindle reader is also interesting. She has lighting and a touch screen. But, unlike Paperwhite, it has a smaller screen and the resolution of its screen is less good.

If you are looking for a cheap reader to start or want the best value for money, Buy a new entry -level Kindle. See the cheapest Kindle reader on Amazon.Fr.

It is also sometimes possible to buy a cheaper Kindle reader by taking advantage of the reconditioned models (they are mentioned on the page of each reader).

Indeed, I receive many messages or questions that sometimes ask me for the same information. It is therefore for me the opportunity to answer questions frequently asked about the Kindle readers.

The EPUB file format is very widespread in the world of reading.

Unfortunately, Kindle reader (travel, paperwhite or other) is not compatible with epub files by default.

Thank you for your analysis, however, you must have had a hand trip to realize how much this reader is superior to others. Of course it is not cheap, I dare not imagine what the new oasis will give, I have to resist, I have to resist ……

Thank you for your new analysis !
Following your previous items, I followed your advice which were waiting for the release of new Kindle models, of which Paperwhite surely (to which would rather wear my initial choice). It is the New Oasis which has just been put in pre-sales…
My question is therefore the following => Should we wait for a new paperwhite before Christmas .

On October 17, 2017 at 5:01 p.m., Nicolas said:

Difficult question: no one knows if a new paperwhite will unfortunately come out. Everything indicates that yes, but we have no certainty ..

For having used the paper for 1 year old and the pd 15mois oasis I can assure you that for those who have the budget there is not photos the oasis is a big notch above the screen has an exceptional quality it is flat it is smooth it is solid it is fluid !I sometimes read 8 hours in a row without eye fatigue, if my oasis lets go tomorrow, starting the 3 days I would have a new ! For me the only flaw of the oasis is the battery for the point, the paper the beating flat sewing !
