Why Amazon’s Kindle Voyage is instantly the best e-reader of all time – Metro

Why Amazon's Kindle Voyage is instantly the best e-reader of all timeE-book reader in 'not boring' shock (Picture: Amazon)

It's easily the most surprising reinvention of the year – Amazon has somehow taken the most predictable, boring gadget ever invented, the e-reader, and 'brought sexy back'.

Sales of the gizmos have flatlined for years after everyone realised that all e-readers were basically the same – but Voyage could be the 'iPhone moment' for the gadgets.

It's the first e-reader with a flat, glossy screen, like iPads, and also offers far sharper text than any previous reader.

The screen is frontlit so it looks white, even in bright sunlight – but the lights don't shine from behind the text, which spares you the headaches you get from reading on iPad.

It's the first of the gadgets which adjusts automatically to surrounding light, so you never need to sit fiddling with the lighting settings just because someone flipped the light on.
