Kindle vs Koreader in our news:
2022. You can no longer buy Kindle Books on Android
Amazon has disabled the option to purchase ebooks in the Kindle app for Android. When attempting to buy digital books, a new screen appears, informing customers that in order to comply with Google's policy changes, ebook purchases are no longer supported. This is due to Google's new requirement that all apps use their own billing system and take a 30% commission on each transaction. Given that Amazon is the largest ebook retailer globally, the commission paid to Google would be substantial. Amazon is the latest company to halt digital transactions on Android; in recent weeks, Audible and Barnes & Noble have stopped selling audiobooks and ebooks in their apps.
2016. Kindle gets a thinner and lighter design and 2x RAM
Amazon’s newly refreshed entry-level Kindle has slimmed down and dropped a little weight in time for swimsuit season – 16-percent, for those counting, now down to 5.7 ounces. The new version features double the RAM of its predecessor, kicking things up to 512MB, along with a couple of new features, including Export Notes, which let you send notes and highlights to yourself via email and Bluetooth audio, which accesses the VoiceView content reader without need for an adapter. There’s also a newly personalized home screen and updates to the reader’s simplified Chinese offering. The new Kindle comes in both black and white, and features a newly rounded back for a better in-hand fit. It’s priced the same as its predecessor, at $79 WiFi with Special Offers and $99 without. It’s available for pre-order now, with shipping starting in the next couple of weeks. The higher-end, front-lit PaperWhite is now also, fittingly, available in white as well.
