Amazon Launches Kindle Paperwhite "Manga Model" in Japan

Kindle Paperwhite

Kindle Paperwhite is one of the best eReaders that exist and that is why every year Amazon launches a new edition to update the hardware. It is a very complete eReader and at a fairly affordable price for users looking for a device exclusively dedicated to reading eBooks.

Amazon, knowing that in Japan there is great attention for manga, with billions of dollars consumed by the Japanese in that type of format, has launched the version Kindle Paperwhite Manga Model With which you will try to attract those users who are looking for a personalized Kindle.

While at first it might appear that it is identical to the Paperwhite that is sold from these more western regions, the truth is that there is some difference in the hardware to differentiate the "Manga Model". This is that it comes with more storage, from what are the 4GB from standard model to 32GB who owns this special version. Amazon has also stated that the speed with which pages are turned has increased by 33 percent.

By multiplying the amount of available memory by eight, Amazon claims it will be able to accommodate up to 700 sleeves, which are significantly larger in size than more traditional books; especially for the amount of images they have, which increases the number of megabytes in capacity. So you can have the entire collection of Naruto, Asari-chan and Kochikame on the same device.

Japanese users will be able to pre-order the Kindle Manga Model starting today for an exchange rate of $ 157 or $ 118 for Amazon Prime members. The price rises about $ 19 more than the PaperWhite version, which, for eight times more storage, is not bad at all. For those who want to access their purchase, they always have import stores.
