Great reading experience thanks to high-resolution display and intelligent backlighting (works surprisingly well). You can scroll by touching the screen or by pressing the "scroll buttons" on the edge, which is also practical for one-handed reading.
The device is small (fits in a trouser pocket) and light, and looks good. The power button on the back takes some getting used to.
Content that has already been purchased has to be downloaded individually from the "cloud" to the device and naturally appears there in reverse order, which made starting with the new Kindle a bit tedious.
Price at the upper limit.Pro
- Reading comfort
- Design
- Scroll buttons

Super Reader! Can also be used independently of Amazon thanks to Calibre. Perfect illumination, runtime okay (less than without LED, but still very good).
Price a bit expensive, but technically on top. I waited a long time for the reintroduction of the "physical" scroll buttons. The power button on the back takes a bit of getting used to. The Amazon Origami cover fits perfectly, but it is definitely far too expensive.Pro

Just excellent, but go and buy the Kindle WITH Special Offers and follow the below instructions to remove them for free. It worked for me without any problem: not hack, just a chat with amazon support !

The best eBook Reader on the market today
1 1/2 months ago we bought the Kindle Voyage for my wife. But directly through Amazon for €189.-- -19% VAT. As soon as the Kindle Voyage arrived, Amazon ran a special offer for €159. Upon my request, we were "exceptionally" refunded the amount of €30. Super customer service from Amazon. I was so enthusiastic about the Voyage that I ordered one for the € 159. 2 days later I also had a Voyage -> Amazon Prime trial subscription from the first reader. Otherwise it takes about 4 days.
The eBook Reader surprised us with its simplicity, intuitive operation, touch screen (page forward, page back, settings etc.) automatic brightness (intelligent front light). And the Night Light function reduces the brightness gently and continuously.
The Kindle Voyage only comes with a charging cable. A power supply unit would have to be bought separately. But any power supply from a smartphone with a USB socket will do.
Downloading books works either via the account in the Amazon shop or via the reader directly. One click and the book is bought.
Via lesen.net you can find weekly bargains and free books that can be downloaded from various booksellers such as Weltbild, Thalia and Amazon.
Books that are downloaded as Epub from booksellers can be uploaded to (all) Kindle with the great conversion programme Calibre.Pro
- No more lugging around 20 or more kilos of books for the camper van or caravan, just the Voyage.
- Fast, intuitive, simple.
- Very bright touch screen display.
- Readable like a book in the bright sun.
- Automatic brightness, gentle night light lowering
- Amazon Shop with thousands of books. Also very cheap or free books.
Contra
- Books from the bookseller can only be converted with Calibre. But it is very simple.
- only one year warranty
- Battery not replaceable. Waste product when the battery no longer works in 7..8 years.
Super device!
Apart from the feel of the paper, the best reading experience so far.
Pro
- High resolution display
- Translations by touching the word
- Low weight, can be held easily with one hand
- Good battery
Contra
- Backlight not 100% even, but not disturbing
Very happy I got this
This device is far better than I expected. I have beginning cataracts (Graue Star), and the self-lit screen and excellent resolution are even better for reading than paper. It's fine in good lighting and sunlight, but I can also read it in a dark place, so my partner can easily sleep while I read. It's very light, easy to use -- especially with Calibre -- with a case (bought in the USA while there) very light and easy to carry, and has plenty of capacity. I'm glad I didn't get one of the lower-resolution off brands. I recommend getting a case.
Pro
- Excellent screen resolution
- Self-lit screen
- Capacity
Contra
- Not expandable
- Interface should be improved
Basically a good device. Welcome to the golden Amazon cage ... !!!
Excellent!
Pro

Hammer eReader
This eReader is absolutely amazing. Small, handy, fast, super readability, would never give it away again. I had a Torino shine before, no comparison. I can only recommend it. Origami cover fits perfectly.
I look forward to reading the books during the holidays

Good reader, but less of an entry-level model
My first eBook Reader
Feels good in the hand, but the Amazon logo is almost too smooth.
Scrolling is pleasantly fast, and comics can also be viewed after conversion.
At first I didn't know how to get books onto the device via the PC,
I finally decided to use Calibre, which can also convert books.
Besides, the automatic lighting is useless for my taste:
It comes on when it's bright outside and goes off when I'm reading indoors. A reverse option would be desirable.
And another matter of taste: the standby pictures cannot be changed, unfortunately I don't like all of them.Pro
- Well legible
- Quick scrolling
- Also displays comics legibly
- Buttons on the edges pleasant to use
Contra
- a little expensive for the equipment
- Support ebook formats
- Automatic backlight
I am thrilled.
I switched from the very first Kindle model to the Voyage.
Pro
- smaller width with the same size screen (fits better in the hand)
- Buttons with noticeable feedback when changing pages
- Backlighting adapted to lighting conditions
- lower weight
I love my Kindle Voyager and highly recommend this device.
I am a fanatical book reader and have recently read my first book via Kindle App on my iPad. Then I decided to buy a Kindle Voyager. I can't agree at all with some of the critical voices. The device is absolutely super. Super contrast even in direct sunlight and high-quality workmanship. I love my Kindle Voyager and can highly recommend this device.
