Ergonomic Aspects
Front panel of a Kindle Voyage e-reader is finished with matte glass which is framed all-round by hard black rugged plastic. Use of capacitive touch screen allowed the manufacturer to make the front panel flat like a tablet's, when most readers have a significant difference between the height of E Ink screen and a frame. Two pairs of PagePress buttons with tactile reaction are placed at the sides of display frame opposite to each other and are intended to turn the pages. Body with a Soft-touch coating is nice on the touch, resistant to graze and scratches, and feels good in your hand.
Image Quality
Automatic adjustment of brightness in Kindle Voyage slowly lowers display brightness so that the reading is pleasant to your eyes. Display glass has micro-engravings that diffuse light to eliminate flecks and to create a paper-like feeling. High contrast and display resolution are the advantages of a new E Ink Carta matrix.
Additional Features

What Is an e-Reader?
Recently e-readers have gained quite a few followers, you can see people reading ereaders in transport, on vacations, and at home. This is all thanks to the fact that this tiny device has space for thousands of books, and all of them you can take with you. Just put an e-book into your bag or in the pocket.
An e-book is a portable device for storing and displaying various electronic text formats. An e-book allows you to read your favorite novel, a magazine, scientific literature, or comics.
An e-reader is an absolutely necessary device for each and every book lover.
If you not only read books but also write them, we recommend you think about obtaining a touchscreen laptop.
What Features to Compare
E-readers can be different in sizes, from 4.5" to 10". Manufacturers determined the 'happy mean' of a display to be 6" to 7". These sizes make a device more compact and easy to transport than an average tablet. In this review, we will compare 5 best e-readers.
The size of an Ebook is slightly smaller than a notebook, and it is not thicker than a pencil. Even compared to a single printed book, a reader is much more mobile. E-reader body can be made of different materials, for example, aluminium, plastic, or combined. But mostly they are manufactured of extra-strong and lightweight plastic, that makes the device cheaper. Material quality and size of the device affect its Ergonomic Aspects.
First, you need to determine display characteristics, as it is essential for the e-reader Image Quality. Nowadays Ebooks have monochrome displays with matte High Gloss coating and use the so-called 'electronic ink' (E Ink). Such displays consume energy only when the displayed information is being changed (for example, when you turn a page), thereby battery life can last several weeks. Text sharpness and quality of little details in pictures depend on display resolution and pixel density per inch (ppi). The higher this index is the more detailed picture you will see. The average resolution is 800x600px (E Ink Pearl). To solve the problem of reading with weak light (for example, before sleep), some e-readers are equipped with an embedded backlighting.
In the latest models, manufacturers strive to replace the mechanical operational buttons with touch screens. There are three main types of touchscreens: Resistive, which reacts to pushing on the display with any object, Capacitive, which reacts only to a finger touch, and Infrared, which reacts to both object and finger touch. Models with infrared and resistive displays react to operation even when you wear gloves.
With the help of an e-reader not only will you be able to read exciting detective stories, romance novels, and other literature, but also, thanks to the embedded Wi-Fi, you will have the option of going online and will be well informed about what is happening around the world by reading the latest news. That's why pay attention to Additional Features of your e-reader. There are models that support 3G Internet, for example. You can also download new study books, magazines, fiction novels and other electronic books via the Internet or using a USB cable to connect your e-reader to a PC. If you have encountered new or odd word in a book you have been reading, you can learn its meaning with the help of a pre-installed vocabulary.
There might be more additional features in an e-reader, but you are primarily looking for a reading device, right?
