Kindle Voyage
© 2014 Amazon.com
Released December 2014, Amazon's top of the line monochrome 6 inch eReader is designed to make old fashioned pages look old fashioned on a non-glare screen. Features include the highest resolution ever on a Kindle device (300 ppi), smoother page turns, and a feature called "PagePress", a small fingerprint-sized force sensor which reacts to a subtle increase of pressure, triggers a page-turn, and provides a haptic response (a tiny vibration) that only your thumb can perceive. So you can "feel" the page turn. Kindle Unlimited lets you browse from 700,000 titles, or you can use the Overdrive app and visit your local library. Visit the website of a U.S. library to see if your library offers OverDrive and check out a Kindle book (using a valid library card). Ideally there is a "Get for Kindle" option that pings you for your Amazon.com account to have the book delivered to your Kindle device, or Kindle reading app running on a non-Kindle device. Need to know: Many pubic libraries are in flux when it comes to ebook distribution. Due to publisher and other distribution restrictions, some titles may not be wirelessly delivered to a Kindle device. In some cases, a USB transfer from your computer to your device is required.In some cases, books can be sent wirelessly to Kindle devices via an active Wi-Fi connection or transferred via USB cable. When in doubt, ask your librarian.
