We are just a great rotation of the great Amazon devices event, where we hope you deliver updates, above all, from the smart speakers of Eco to the television sticks and tablets, Kindles and more. Of all Amazon devices, the only one I use practically every day is my Kindle Paperwhite Ereader.
It is my partner before bedtime, the last device I play before nodding with the mid-paragraph and, apart from my partner, the only thing with what happened hours for a vacation. In other words, I have been using a Amazon Kindle for more than a decade and I have come to know intimately. That is why I feel qualified to point out some aspects that Amazon could adjust in this latest early update of one of the best ereaders.
Move the ignition button
Let’s start with my greatest assignment of Kindle pets: the placement of the food/sleep button.
I should preface this by saying that I mostly love the minimalist design of the Kindle. Each version, from the basic Kindle to the signature Paperwhite edition, is thin and light. The screens, typically 300ppi, are clear, bright and sharp. You can buy a Kindle Colorsooft model, which adds a range of tones to admit readings such as graphic novels, but monochromatic models remain my preference, especially because I use these Ereaders mainly for Worddy novels.
I like the touch screens and the embedded lights that in cascade the brightness on the surface, and I am never happier than when I am on the beach, where sunlight is the only lighting that I need, or in the reading of the bed for minutes or hours of enjoyment.
During a recent field flight through Wifi, my Jade Kindle Paperwhite was my only source of distraction. I rested the Kindle in my lap and read until the screen blinked unexpectedly. I had not run out of battery, I leaned too strongly on the tablet and inadvertently I pressed the ignition button in my lap.
This happens more frequently than you think, and there is a simple solution: move the ignition button to the back of the device or, overlooked. My hope is that the new Kindles we all expect this Amazon week present this change.
Add a kick stop
When I read at night, I make a fairly complicated battery of the covers in my chest to try to prop up my Amazon Kindle. Usually, it does not work, and at some point, the Kindle throws himself towards my face or back on my stomach. I do not want to hold it awkwardly as long as I am reading, and instead, I prefer that my hand rest next to the ereader to be able to reach the screen with my index finger.
Yes, I’m a bit vague.
Do you know what would instantly solve this problem? An integrated armchair; It should appear from behind and be wide enough to keep the Kindle stable. I understand that a case could solve this problem, but I do not keep my kindle in a case because I do not like extra weight, and the Kindle is hard enough (even waterproof) to survive without one.
I bet that everyone who loves their Kindle would appreciate it a little more with a simple kick stop made of the same material as the chassis.
Give me a touch sensitivity control
Another Kindle mirror that I have is when I accidentally highlight the text on the page or turn a page apparently because I breathed in it. Obviously, that is an exaggeration, but I am not just to complain that the Kindle screen can be too sensitive and that there is no way to adjust that sensitivity (there are reddit threads dedicated to the problem).
So that is my simple question: a small software update that allows me to adjust the tactile sensitivity. Instead, I would like Amazon to add a lever switch to be able to turn off the highlight. Do you know how many times I have highlighted in the hundreds of Kindle books that I have read? Next to never.
X -rays all the time
Sometimes I read a book, and a character is mentioned that I cannot remember. Amazon radiography offers quick access to information about all book players.
However, I have discovered that if a character is not mentioned by its full name, or the book presents another way of mentioning them, X -rays may not be useful. Sometimes I start looking for the first mention. I think that Amazon made a slight redesign and offered the option to make X -ray omnipresent, that could help with more complicated volumes and full of characters.
Basically, the lower room of the page would be dedicated to the X -rays, and the characters would be added as they seem. The list would be movable and would always place the characters that are currently on the page at the top. If you touch a character, instantly shows your first mention in the book.
Add Alexa+
This feature could work without problems with another characteristic that I am requesting: Alexa+ AI synopsis.
Now that Alexa+ obtained his great update of AI, it is time for Kindle integration. Maybe Amazon adds a Alexa+button. You touch it and a context synopsis appears. It allows you to know who the characters are currently in the game, what they have been doing, and look for you in any relevant subtext and events that are relevant to that moment in history. I could even go further and explain references both inside and outside the book.
Perhaps it also acts as an integrated virtual reading club, to discuss with you the actions and topics until that moment. It could be based on text and/or audio.
Such integration could mark the end of confusion even for the most complex stories. There may be a process of processing power and local models. I would prefer that the function work locally, but I would understand if it was a plane mode function.
There you have it. I am not asking for the world, and it will certainly not be crushed if all these Kindle characteristics do not happen. However, I am sure that at least some of them can or will. When that happens, I will happily update my next one, dear Kindle Ereader.
