Why the BMW i3 is the best electric car on the planet http://www.techradar.com/news/car-tech/ ... et-1200923Sent to my Kindle... I have to say it's the first time I've seen an electric car being well promoted, probably because it looks vaguely commercially viable! _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

  | | | | Quote: Next-gen Amazon Kindle Paperwhite in line for screen boost
Details on the next generation Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, codenamed Ice Wine, have sprung up online revealing that readers may well be treated to an upgraded screen and new design.
TechCrunch claims it's checked out a prototype of the new Paperwhite, and the headlining feature is said to be a new, high resolution 300ppi display.
The current Kindle Paperwhite sports a 212ppi, 6-inch display, so if the report is accurate the new Paperwhite will offer a huge improvement on its predecessor.
That's not the only difference, with a glass screen said to be on the way instead of the plastic finish we've become accustomed to. The leak suggests it'll sit flush with the chassis instead of being slightly recessed.
Squeeze me
Design-wise the new Paperwhite is said to be lighter, and it could follow the more angular design of the latest raft of Kindle Fire tablets, while the edges of the ereader will be squeezable page turn triggers.
There's also a new ambient light sensor on aboard, which monitors the light of your surroundings and adjusts screen brightness to give you the best display for your setting.
In terms of when we can expect the next-gen Kindle Paperwhite, the ereader is apparently tipped to go on sale during the second quarter of 2014. | | | | |
That could be awesome, assuming the glass isn't covered in prints too easily (the plastic works for me) and the edges thing is 'smart', which would be especially useful for documents loaded with hyperlinks you don't actually wanna click. Oh, and I think having the screen recessed might actually be a good thing in terms of eye-focus and framing what you're reading considering it's lit up  I don't think my eyesight is good enough either way to worry about resolution; I get on just fine with all the Kindles so far. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Actually once it gets to 300dpi any further improvements are purely tech willy waving, as you will not be able to differentiate the difference. Though screen wise it does seem to be perfect for reading. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.
