The famous disassembly website iFixit disassembled the Kindle Voyage. The Kindle Voyage is the lightest, thinnest and strongest e-reader launched by Amazon at present. It has improved the brightness and performance on the basis of the Kindle PaperWhite. The most important thing is to add the glass display screen and the page turning key to make the reading experience better.
In terms of appearance design, the Kindle series has been changing, and this time the Kindle Voyage follows its own Kindle Fire in design language. The back is made of aluminum magnesium alloy and the design with clear edges and corners, making it more durable and beautiful. At the same time, the biggest improvement of Kindle Voyage is that its screen is no longer sunken. A whole piece of strengthened glass makes the overall effect quite good.
It is very easy to disassemble. It can be opened at a pry and combined with clips.
The Kindle Voyage motherboard is more complex than the previous generation. The Kindle Voyage uses a 1320mAh battery. Amazon claims that its battery life has reached six weeks, compared with four weeks for the previous generation.
The motherboard uses a large number of ribbon cables and ZIF connectors.
The parts on the mainboard are:
Red: Toshiba THGBM5G5A1JBAIR 32 Gb (4 GB) eMMC NAND Flash（ROM）
Orange: Freescale Semiconductor MCIMX6L8DVN10AB Applications Processor
Yellow: Samsung K4P4G324EQ-RGC2 4 Gb (512 MB) LPDDR2 SDRAM（RAM）
Green: Maxim Integrated MAX77696A Power Management Integrated Circuit
Blue: Atheros AR6803G-BL3B WLAN Controller
violet: Freescale Semiconductor M05R5V 1N96F ACBIT
Black: Texas Instruments DRV2667 Piezo Haptic Driver
The Kindle Voyage display screen uses a lot of adhesive, and the front panel is a whole piece of glass combined with the display screen, which improves the maintenance cost and degree.
IFixit gave the Kindle Voyage 7 points for difficulty in maintenance, indicating that it is easy to disassemble. It means that most of the internal parts can be disassembled and replaced, and the display screen is also easy to open. However, the reinforced glass and E-INK screen are integrated, which means that if the reinforced glass is broken, it needs to be replaced in an integrated way, which increases the maintenance cost.
