Travel Gear: the latest Kindle, a split camera and a cup holder for your bicycle

Bookman cup holder 
The Swedish brand Bookman has a range of sometimes quirky, always interesting bicycle gear. This is one of its latest ideas: a cup holder for your bike.

The sparse design is Scandinavian simplicity itself: a rubbery grip that's flexed open by a pair of pre-sprung steel rings, like an office bulldog clip. It grips on to the handle bars where the different sized rings await your morning latte. It comes in red, green, white and black. €29 from bookman.se

Kindle Voyage 

Forbes reckons about 30 million Kindles are in use out there. It’s the dominant standalone ereader, and this new Voyage version significantly improves the experience again.

Amazon has upped its epaper resolution to 300ppi, so the text is sharper and crisper. A sensor underthumb lets you turn a page simply with a firm press. And its micro-etched screen, backlit to prevent glare, now adapts automatically to ambient light, modulating the glow to suit the environment. Available in wifi and 3G models in the thinnest Kindle yet at just 7.6mm. $199 from amazon.com

Casio

split camera

Or to give it its proper name, the Casio Exilim EX-FR10, can be split into two parts to emulate the mobile capacity of cameras such as the Hero

Go Pro

and at the same time be reconfigured for a more familiar camera body.

Essentially, there’s a standalone, self-sufficient camera bit and a detachable controller bit that uses Bluetooth to talk to the picture end.

Perfect for extreme selfies, capturing acts of derring-do and general hands-free photographic flexibility. They dock and clip apart at the click of a button. 14MP sensor with full HD at 30fps. Price TBA (about €480); see casio-intl.com
