Awesome Kindle

Amazon’s backlit e-book reader now has a high-resolution 300 ppi 6″ screen. It has a new font made for e-books, and better typography and page layouts to preserve the original format even when you increase the font size.

This crazy cheap tablet comes in 6″ or 7″ and has a 1280×800 display, a 1.5GHz quad-core CPU and the new Fire OS 4. The Kids Edition has a protective case and comes with a 2-year no questions asked replacement warranty.

The Kindle Voyage is lighter and smaller than the Kindle Paperwhite. It has a 300ppi touchscreen, an adaptive backlight as well as forward and back page turning haptic sensors on each edge for one-handed use.

Amazon may have just made the ultimate consumer’s tablets. The HDX 7″ and HDX 8.9 tablets have displays with beyond 1080p resolution, quad-core CPUs and a free, live and interactive tech support service called Mayday.

The latest version of the Kindle Paperwhite has a faster processor and an improved touchscreen. It also has new features such as a quick page scanning feature and intuitive word and phrase lookup tools.

With 7″ 720p and 8.9″ 1080p models, it has a dual-core CPU, dual-band Wi-Fi (4G LTE avail.) and dual stereo speakers. It syncs book, movie and game progress, tightly integrated with Amazon’s services.

Cases for the iPad, Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 (sorry eReaders) with licensed classic book cover art. Handmade using book board and book cloth, the same materials used in paper book hardcovers.

The new 6-inch Kindles are 21% smaller than prior models, get to 1-month battery life, along with image quality and other improvements. Choose 3G/Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi only versions in white or grey.

Not only does the updated version of Amazon’s 9.7-inch Kindle DX book reader have a new case color, they’ve improved display contrast by 50%, and cut the price by $110 bucks. Ships 7/7.

Macedonian designer Dragan Trencevski has created the eRoll, a concept that could be the future of e-reading. The rollable, flexible screen in effect reduces the size of a book to a mere baton.

CollegeHumor’s Kindle 3 parody takes Amazon’s e-reader to its logical conclusion with a device that “shows” books instead of making you read; book learnin’ has never been funner.

Barely a day after the Kindle DX announcement, meet Hard Graft’s new Dapper Kindle case: it fits the Kindle 1, Kindle 2 and Kindle DX and is made with wool felt and Italian leather.
