Kindle Paperwhite “/figure> Faster hardware and new user interface
New, more powerful hardware should also make reading more pleasant, as, for example, turning the pages is 20 percent faster, explains Amazon. In addition, Amazon has redesigned the user interface to deliver an improved and, according to their own account, more intuitive experience.
The new Kindle interface offers navigation with direct access to the start page, library and the current book. The redesigned library includes new filter and sorting functions, a new view for collections and an interactive scroll bar. Settings can also be accessed with a swipe down from the top of the screen. In this way, functions such as screen brightness, airplane mode or dark mode can be accessed without leaving the current reading. Soon, the Kindle app for Android and iOS will also make it easier to set up the Kindle Paperwhite. The new software functions should be rolled out by the end of the year.
