Amazon Kindle Touch. First contact

Barcelona is adorned yesterday to celebrate Sant Jordi, the traditional festival in which they give books and roses. Amazon did not want to miss the literary reference and we met in Barcelona to teach its new Kindle electronic book reader Kindle Touch and Touch 3G.

The Kindle Touch is one of those devices will be immediately adored by some and hated by others. Not that anything bad will happen. The touch control is extremely basic and works well, but it is likely that many users accustomed to traditional e-readers still prefer the traditional interface buttons. Moreover, although the touch control is always welcome, the Kindle is not a tablet and do not expect management as a tablet last geenración.

Externally, the Kindle Touch is virtually identical to the basic model of Amazon that you can also see in the photos that accompany the post. Its dimensions are much larger, with 172 × 120 × 10.1 mm, but noticeable. The weight does that departs somewhat from the original, with 213 or 230 grams depending on the version instead of the 170 original. However, it remains a lightweight and comfortable to handle.

The display is the same as the Kindle except for the thumb pad and is equally well. The controls, yes have been reduced to a single menu button whose function is similar to the Apple device button. At the bottom we find the power, MicroUSB port and audio jack of 3.5 mm.

So far, the side buttons of the Kindle did it was rare to give the device accelerometer to rotate the screen. The Touch model, which a priori seemed more suitable also left out this feature.

Connections, whether WiFi or 3G, plus add an interesting touch to the Kindle, even though have a limited navigation, the option to view and buy a book whenever and wherever we want is always welcome. Little more can you ask an eBook reader. Those who want extreme portability may prefer the Kindle basic and the most innovative or those who want a permanent connection can opt for this newcomer to the Spanish market.
