Amazon推出首款彩色電子書閱讀器Kindle Colorsoft

Amazon正進行其Kindle系列的一次重大改版,推出了新的Kindle、Kindle Paperwhite和Kindle Scribe,同時還發布了公司的首款彩色電子書閱讀器——Kindle Colorsoft。

我有幸在Amazon的發布會前試用了這些新的Kindle,並有一些初步印象與大家分享。

Kindle Colorsoft:全新的Kindle體驗

Kindle Colorsoft顯然是這次新產品中最引人注目的,因為它配備了彩色屏幕。它與新款的Paperwhite共享相同的7英寸屏幕尺寸和防水功能。

正如典型的E Ink屏幕一樣,顏色相對較為柔和。屏幕由氮化物LED照明,Amazon聲稱這提高了面板的顏色表現。但即使在最鮮豔的設置下,Ms. Marvel和忍者龜漫畫的顏色看起來也像是報紙印刷的效果。顏色確實存在並且可辨識,但遠不如光滑的雜誌或LCD那麼鮮豔。儘管如此,與我們測試過的其他電子書閱讀器(如ReMarkable Paper Pro和Onyx Boox Tab Ultra C)相比,Colorsoft的顏色表現相當。漫畫在顯示彩色時比灰度顯示要好得多。

Colorsoft的屏幕反應非常快。顯示單色材料如文本時,它的速度可能稍微比新款Paperwhite慢一點。顏色顯示則稍微更慢,但屏幕仍然迅速改變。每次翻頁時,屏幕會閃爍以完全重置,這在顯示純文本時不會發生。

Kindle Colorsoft將於10月30日發售,售價為279.99美元。

第十二代Kindle Paperwhite:速度更快

第十二代Paperwhite翻頁速度幾乎是即時的,屏幕刷新速度非常快。Amazon尚未給出具體的速度或刷新率數據,但它明顯比我用過的任何其他電子書閱讀器都快。

細心的Kindle用戶會注意到,Paperwhite的屏幕比其前代的6.8英寸顯示屏略大。這一額外的空間是一個不錯的獎勵。

Paperwhite現已上市。16GB型號售價為159.99美元,而具有32GB存儲、支持無線充電和金屬鋁合金外殼的Paperwhite Signature Edition售價為199.99美元。

Kindle Scribe:引入生成式人工智能

Kindle Scribe是Amazon最大的電子書閱讀器,也是唯一配備手寫筆的型號。新版本的屏幕尺寸仍為10.2英寸,但現在有白色邊框,並且Amazon表示其觸感更像紙張。

此外,Scribe的主要變化似乎在於軟件方面。界面對手寫註釋更友好,具有即時高亮和下劃線功能,可擴展的邊距用於筆記,以及一個Active Canvas功能,允許直接在文檔中記錄筆記。Scribe還將提供兩項生成式AI功能,可以總結你的筆記或將其轉換為更易讀的格式。

我試用了Scribe的新功能。Active Canvas非常實用,在我試用的演示中,它似乎能夠按照預期工作。如果你在閱讀頁面時在屏幕上寫點什麼,一個框會顯示出你的筆記,文本會重新排列以適應這個框。註釋與文本中的位置相關聯,因此你可以查閱筆記並看到它們所指的內容。同樣,可擴展的邊距提供了另一種方式來保持筆記與文本的錨定,但不會重新排列文本。

大多數文檔仍無法在頁面上進行書寫(PDF文檔也不支持活動註釋功能)。下劃線和高亮功能會立即轉換為明顯的矩形高亮和下劃線格式,替代你的手寫。這對於高亮文本來說沒問題,但我覺得在文本下畫一條大線比電腦化的下劃線更引人注目,就像在文字處理器中一樣。

然後是生成式AI功能,我還沒機會測試。根據Amazon的說法,Kindle Scribe可以分析你的手寫筆記並將其總結。該過程涉及將你的筆記加密上傳到Amazon的雲服務器,供那裡的AI系統分析。15到20秒後,總結會顯示在你的Scribe筆記本中。我很好奇當處理大量潦草的手寫信息時,它的準確性如何。另一个生成式AI功能是將你的手寫轉換為更易讀的字體,類似於手寫。

Kindle Scribe將於12月4日發售,售價為399.99美元。

Kindle:綠茶色的新裝

Amazon也更新了標準版Kindle。它現在有了一款新的綠茶色,並且其6英寸屏幕更亮、更快(但不如Paperwhite快),且對比度更高,這是它的主要升級。

入門級的Kindle現已上市,16GB型號售價為109.99美元。

我們預計很快會測試這些型號,敬請關注我們的評測。同時,請查看我們推薦的每個讀者應該知道的Kindle小技巧。

編輯評論

這次Amazon的Kindle系列升級無疑是一次重大舉措,特別是引入了彩色電子書閱讀器Kindle Colorsoft。雖然Colorsoft的顏色表現不如LCD或光滑雜誌那麼鮮豔,但它在現有E Ink技術中已經達到了不錯的水平。這對於喜歡閱讀漫畫或圖像豐富的書籍的用戶來說,無疑是一大福音。

第十二代Paperwhite的速度提升也是一個亮點,特別是對於那些習慣於快速翻頁的讀者而言,這種即時的反應會大大提升閱讀體驗。而Kindle Scribe引入的生成式AI功能,則展示了Amazon在軟件創新方面的努力,特別是對於需要大量筆記和標註的用戶,這些新功能可能會成為決定性因素。

總的來說,這次的更新顯示了Amazon在電子書閱讀器市場上的領導地位和創新能力。無論你是新用戶還是現有用戶,這些新產品都值得一試。

Create a hyper-realistic 8K close-up body portrait of a female model, using the uploaded photo as the exact facial reference. Maintain 100% accuracy of the facial features — do not alter or modify any aspect of the face. Render the skin texture, lighting, and overall composition with photo-realistic detail, ensuring lifelike color tones and natural depth of field. A man with his original hair is sitting casually on a white cube, smiling warmly at the camera. He is wearing a cream-colored cable-knit sweater, blue jeans, and brown loafers. His legs are crossed, with one hand resting on his knee.
The background reveals a cozy and festive living room. A large, beautifully decorated Christmas tree with numerous warm lights and gold ornaments stands prominently behind him. Several wrapped gift boxes are visible at the base of the tree. To his left, another smaller decorated Christmas tree and a wreath on the wall further enhance the holiday atmosphere. The lighting is soft and inviting, creating a warm and welcoming scene. Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a cinematic studio portrait of a woman seated on a simple wooden chair with a minimalist design, positioned slightly to the left of the frame. She is captured in a contemplative pose, with her body turned to the left, her left arm resting gracefully on the back of the chair, and her right hand gently touching her face near her lips, conveying a sense of introspection and elegance. Her long, wavy hair cascades naturally over her shoulders, framing her face and adding softness to the composition. She wears an oversized, textured knit sweater that slips off her shoulders, exposing her collarbones and upper chest, emphasizing a relaxed and intimate mood. Her legs are bare, with her right foot flat on the ground and her left knee slightly raised, creating a dynamic line that guides the viewer’s eye through the composition. *** The background is a seamless, deep charcoal or dark brown studio backdrop, providing a rich, neutral setting that enhances the dramatic lighting. The lighting setup features a single, soft yet directional light source positioned to the left of the subject, casting gentle, sculptural shadows that highlight the contours of her face, shoulders, and arms, while creating a subtle gradient across her form. The light accentuates the texture of her sweater and the natural shine of her hair, adding depth and dimension to the image. The color palette is monochromatic with warm, muted tones—shades of gray, brown, and beige—contributing to a timeless, artistic aesthetic. The image is shot with a professional full-frame camera using an 85mm or 50mm lens at a wide aperture (f/1.8 to f/2.😎 to achieve a shallow depth of field, ensuring the subject is in sharp focus while the background remains softly blurred. The resolution is ultra-high, capturing every detail from the fine texture of her sweater to the subtle expression of her pose. The overall style is elegant, contemplative, and refined, emphasizing mood and atmosphere over overt glamour. Post-processing is minimal, maintaining natural skin tones, enhancing contrast and clarity, and preserving the authenticity of the scene. This portrait embodies a delicate balance between simplicity and emotional depth, making it suitable for fine art, editorial, or fashion photography. In a brightly lit indoor setting, likely a press conference room, two uniformed police officers flank a man in a plain brown t-shirt. The officers, wearing blue shirts with epaulets and badges, have a firm but neutral grip on the man's shoulders, directing him towards the cameras. The man [image uploaded] with short dark hair, is smiling subtly and maintaining eye contact with the lens.

Stretching across the foreground is a white-draped table, upon which a diverse collection of women's underwear is meticulously displayed. There are dozens of pairs in various colors, patterns, and styles, including solid hues of red, blue, pink, and black, as well as leopard print and other designs. Several microphones with news station logos are placed among the undergarments, pointing towards the man and officers.

Behind the table, a throng of journalists and photographers are actively documenting the event. Many are holding professional video cameras with large lenses and attached lights, while others are using DSLR cameras with flash attachments, and some are capturing footage with their smartphones. The room is illuminated by rectangular fluorescent light panels on the ceiling, casting an even glow. The overall atmosphere suggests a formal public presentation, possibly a police press briefing or an arrest announcement.
