Kindle Touch vs Kindle Voyage in our news:
2018. Kindle Voyage is discontinued
The Kindle Voyage is no longer available for purchase on the main Amazon website. The only models still on offer are refurbished, but they are likely to sell out quickly once Amazon restocks them. The Amazon Kindle Voyage was first released in 2014 and was once Amazon’s most costly flagship e-reader, but it eventually became less relevant with the introduction of the Kindle Oasis. One of the major design updates with the Voyage is that the screen is entirely flush with the bezel. All earlier Kindle e-readers had a recessed screen and used infrared touchscreen technology.
2014. Amazon unveils $199 Kindle Voyage and new simple Kindle ereader with touchscreen
Amazon today unveiled the 7th generation of Kindle: Kindle Voyage, the premium, most advanced e-reader yet and the new basic Kindle e-reader, featuring a 20% faster processor, double the storage and now with a touch interface. The Kindle Voyage is priced at $199. Should you purchase it? It depends on how important page turns are to you. On each side of the reader's face are two slim lines. A light press along these lines advances or reverses a page. Amazon has even included a subtle bit of haptic feedback to indicate the action is taking place. Pages can also be turned by swiping on the touch screen. Additionally, it features a flat glass, high-resolution display and a brighter, self-adjusting light.
2011. Amazon unveils Kindle Touch e-reader
Amazon didn't disappoint tech enthusiasts this morning. The company is all about "creating premium products at non-premium prices." The new device—a e-ink e-reader—Kindle Touch, which allows users to easily read one-handed, is designed to compete with the Barnes & Noble Nook and will be priced at $99. Amazon didn’t make many changes to differentiate the Touch from the fourth-gen Kindle. In fact, the only noticeable difference between the two devices is the bezel below the screen. The toggle switch and row of buttons on the fourth-gen model have been replaced with a single home button, consisting of four small horizontal bars. It's not the most stylish option available, but it serves its purpose. Amazon also introduced a 3G version, which will retail for $149. A more affordable and compact non-touch Kindle will be priced at $79. Amazon has included its Whispersync technology, which syncs digital books to the Kindle and is also offering free cloud storage for device users.
