Amazon announces Kindle Oasis |
09:05 AM by pdurrant in E-Book General | News The press embargo is over! And it's a high price for the new Kindle - US$289.99/€289.99/£269.99/CA$399.99 Amazon press release:
Battery life given as 8 weeks (1/2 hour a day, light 10, wireless off). Voyage battery life is given as 6 weeks under the same conditions. Battery life of the Oasis without the case is given as two weeks. Capacities: 250 mAh for internal battery, 1290 mAh for cover battery.
Reviews and comments from The Verge, Fortune, CNBC Amazon US link Quick Start Guide pdf: Kindle Oasis User's Guide pdf: (the document name says WHISKEY !!!!) https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/c...de+-+en_US.pdf Note that the US price is "with special offers", the other prices are without special offers, which in the US is $20 more - $309.99. At today's exchange rates, $309.99 is €274.66, £218.16 and CA$396.82 So UK price (adding 20% VAT) and the Canadian price are about the same as the US price. The Euro price is a lot cheaper! |

New "top of the line Kindle" details coming next week |
02:53 PM by Dazrin in E-Book General | News From Jeff Bezos' twitter:
Found via Engadget. I kinda wish I had waited to purchase my Voyage, but then I would have gone crazy trying to read on a phone for 3 months. I will wait to see the new specs before I decide if I have buyer's remorse! Edit: It is just details / formal announcement next week not the device release. I can't change the title though, sorry for getting hopes up if you need one next week. |
