Where is God? Amazon Kindle Paperwhite review
|
Color reproduction, contrast, saturation, IPS screen, AMOLED screen... With the rise of touch-screen electronic products, the screen, which has a "face" status, has become a part that major technology manufacturers attach great importance to and invest heavily in. With the help of Kindle products, Amazon, which was originally a shopping website, has also been hot in the mobile terminal market in recent years. In addition to the performance-oriented Kindle Fire tablet, the Kindle Paperwhite deviates from the dazzling display effect and captures the hearts of a group of reading enthusiasts with its positioning as an electronic ink black and white paper-style e-book. What are the advantages of the highly acclaimed Kindle Paperwhite? The real experience of the product is undoubtedly the most convincing. Internet manufacturers make hardware and design in a consistent simple style As for the product itself, Kindle Paperwhite is very similar to Google NEXUS products produced by the same Internet manufacturer. There are not too many small design embellishments. The only logo on the black front is the light-colored Kindle Logo at the bottom. The back and frame of the body are wrapped with skin-like materials, and the Amazon Logo on the back is inlaid with a smooth plastic structure, which is consistent with Google NEXUS again. Google doesn't like physical buttons, and Kindle Paperwhite is no exception. Since there is no sound unit, Kindle Paperwhite even saves the volume button. The only power switch at the bottom is in a symmetrical position with the MicroUSB data interface. E-ink screen, unique experience is surprising. The biggest feature of Kindle Paperwhite is nothing more than this 6-inch non-color e-ink screen. If you look at it from the perspective of a traditional screen, the 1024×768 resolution of the Kindle Paperwhite screen brings 212PPI fineness, which is better than the first-generation iPad mini in detail performance, which is satisfactory. Although there is no colorful effect, the feature of Kindle Paperwhite supporting 16 levels of grayscale also makes it possible to display color pictures in layers. In addition, Kindle Paperwhite has an amazing performance in terms of screen viewing angle, which people pay special attention to on smartphones. As long as the screen can be seen, Kindle Paperwhite will hardly have any loss in display effect. The screen of Kindle Paperwhite also supports touch, and the design of the matte screen makes the touch feel even better. However, due to the characteristics of electronic ink, the screen refresh rate is low. If you are used to other mainstream electronic products, Kindle Paperwhite will give you a feeling of being slightly out of touch. As for the screen backlight, Amazon positions it as a reading light. We can easily see three light sources at the bottom of the screen, and the brightness supports 24 levels of adjustment, and the lowest can be adjusted to no brightness. However, it should be noted that the effect of the reading light on the screen is not a pure color. When the brightness is increased, it can be clearly found that the screen gradually turns yellow. System experience, a browser from the inside out Although the system of Amazon's tablet Kindle Fire is derived from Android, Kindle Paperwhite is completely different from the major platforms we are familiar with, and the operation method also adopts a new logic. There is no setting interface, no audio and video entertainment function, no third-party software extension. To be precise, the system of Kindle Paperwhite is more like a browser from the inside out. Internally, the essence of Kindle Paperwhite is an electronic reading device. Combined with Amazon's own Kindle store, Kindle Paperwhite can present local and cloud reading materials to users on the interface. It is worth mentioning that when you click on the project to read, the reading text will occupy the entire screen. Since there are no virtual buttons or physical buttons, in addition to turning pages, more operations require users to touch the upper 1/4 part of the screen to start more option menus. For first-time users, it is best to understand the instructions in detail and adapt in advance. Externally, it supports Wi-Fi wireless network connection, and Kindle Paperwhite naturally has an Internet access function. As a branch project of the system, click the menu button in the upper right corner of the main interface to find the "Experience Version Web Browser" project. From the perspective of usage, the forward, back, homepage and address input modes are no different from those of common mobile browsers, and it is easy to get started. In terms of browsing experience, Kindle Paperwhite gives people a very wonderful feeling. The black and white web page display seems to pull the user back to the last century, but with the help of excellent hardware configuration and lightweight body, you can quickly understand that this smooth Internet access device in your hand is produced in the present. The original gorgeous web page returns to simplicity. In a sense, Kindle Paperwhite is simply a combination of history and modernity. Where is the magic of Kindle Paperwhite? After the analysis of software and hardware, I can't help but think back. With the price of Kindle Paperwhite, there are many choices that meet the conditions to buy a reasonable smartphone on the market. Kindle Paperwhite can only do one thing well. In fact, the visibility of Kindle Paperwhite in life is not low. After careful consideration, its magical place is nothing more than two points. One is the strong battery life of Kindle Paperwhite. If the battery life of an excellent tablet should be maintained for more than 10 hours, then Kindle Paperwhite has the ability to replace the unit "hour" after 10 with "day". Amazon's official introduction states that Kindle Paperwhite can last up to 8 weeks of reading on a single charge. Of course, this is calculated based on turning off the wireless network, setting the screen brightness to "10", and reading for half an hour every day. The biggest contributor is the electronic ink screen that consumes almost no power. After turning on the Kindle Paperwhite, the screen will almost always be in working condition and consume almost no power. The only power consumer comes from the backlight reading lamp, but if the light conditions are good, the user does not actually need to turn it on, and the matte screen will not cause strong reflections in the sun. When in standby mode, Kindle Paperwhite will meaningfully change the screen to a close-up static image and enter a low-power state. If Apple has always been committed to creating electronic products that never sleep, just like MacBook users have no idea about shutting down, then Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite is the product that minimizes the loss of use. Secondly, Kindle Paperwhite has a very accurate product positioning. Mobile phones, cameras, video players, music players, nowadays, smart mobile devices have more and more identities, making many products similar, but if you focus on doing one thing well, it is also very powerful. Kindle Paperwhite is such a role. The 4:3 screen ratio has been praised as the most suitable screen ratio for reading since the iPad, and Kindle Paperwhite is icing on the cake with electronic ink. A product that gives you a paper-like visual effect but is not a book. You know that you are holding an electronic device in your hand, but the text it displays is so realistically "written" on "paper". For ordinary digital enthusiasts or geeks, you may never be able to truly feel the significance of Kindle Paperwhite, but for reading enthusiasts, this is absolutely an irresistible temptation. As a winner of Toutiao's Qingyun Plan and Baijiahao's Bai+ Plan, the 2019 Baidu Digital Author of the Year, the Baijiahao's Most Popular Author in the Technology Field, the 2019 Sogou Technology and Culture Author, and the 2021 Baijiahao Quarterly Influential Creator, he has won many awards, including the 2013 Sohu Best Industry Media Person, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Beijing Third Place, the 2015 Guangmang Experience Award, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Finals Third Place, and the 2018 Baidu Dynamic Annual Powerful Celebrity. |
