When Cuban native Sandra Perez was looking for a secluded place to create her art, she fell under the spell of Holbox on Mexico’s Caribbean coast north of Cancún, where beachcombing and barefoot dinners under the stars are part of the daily routine. Soon after, Perez founded a 17-room beachfront hotel, CasaSandra. Italy’s Most Beautiful Beaches. Most Beautiful Libraries in the World. The ingeniously simple concept for the library at Tokyo’s Musashino Art University speaks volumes: it’s made entirely of wood bookshelves, with a glass exterior.

Most Beautiful Libraries in the World

Inside, architect Sou Fujimoto’s spiral-shaped design naturally spurs the visitor onward and features light-filled, comfortable corners for reading and easy access to volumes. It’s a reminder that even in the digital age, libraries can be inviting public spaces—and that their beauty extends beyond the gilded, frescoed libraries of old.

Bridge walkways connect to study areas from a skylit concourse filled with shops and cafés.

The new Kindle Voyage e-reader is shockingly good

It's called the Kindle Voyage and it ticks off virtually every single hardware complaint I've had about the Kindle Paperwhite. Available for preorder now and shipping in October, it's selling for $199 and will sit alongside the Paperwhite and a new low-end Kindle — which gives Amazon a full lineup of three touchscreen e-readers (a GSM 3G version will be available for $60 more). The Voyage is thinner, lighter, and ever-so-slightly smaller than the Paperwhite, but the big deal is the screen. Amazon has increased the resolution so that it reaches 300 pixels per inch, which makes text incredibly sharp and readable. I ratcheted the text size all the way down to the lowest setting and found it to still be crisp and sharp enough to read. Along with the higher resolution, the screen is also higher contrast.
