Amazon Kindle DX

By Roberto Baldwin

Amazon is positioning the Kindle DX as Newspaper 2.0. With a largerscreen, it tries its best to mimic your favorite daily read withoutgetting your fingers all inky. Amazon has deals with many of the bignational and international papers, but it remains ...

Larger screen. PDF compatibility for rolling your own e-books

Keyboard and button design are a step backward. Large size and increased weight make it less portable. Pricey

The Kindle DX introduces a larger screen and native PDF support to the e-book reader. Too bad an awkward keyboard, missing navigation buttons, and the ongoing issue of price keep it from becoming the ultimate e-book reader.

Amazon Kindle DX - A Review of the Amazon Kindle DX

By Joanna Stern

Expanded, crisp E-Ink display, Accelerometer for adjusting screen orientation, Expanded storage, Fast wireless downloads

Expensive, Bulkier than the Kindle 2, Some popular books not available, Battery not user-replaceable

Reading on the Kindle DX over a long weekend was a pleasure. The display doesn't induce headaches or eyesores like a computer monitor would; text is crisp yet soft enough to remind us of a page in a book. Though it's barely noticeable, the screen ...

Amazon Kindle DX

By Dan Costa

At its core, the Kindle DX is simply a bigger, higher-capacity, and more-expensive version of the wildly popular Kindle 2 e-book reader. The interface is the same, the dead-simple process of wirelessly downloading books is the same, and the content ...

Bigger, better screen. Super-thin. 4GB capacity (3,500 books). Wide selection of books, magazines, and blogs. Buying new titles is dead simple with the free, integrated cellular modem. Text-to-speech capability

Very expensive. No touch screen. Interface could be more intuitive

With a much-larger screen and more storage, the Amazon Kindle DX is a nice addition to the Kindle family. But its almost-$500 price tag might be prohibitively high.

All ShotsOf course, the biggest difference between the Kindle DX and the Kindle 2 is the size of the electronic-ink screen—the DX's is 2.5 times larger. Whereas reading on the Kindle 2 is akin to reading a book, the Kindle DX experience feels more...

Amazon Kindle DX review

By Barbara Krasnoff

The Amazon Kindle DX is the latest in the Kindle line of e-book readers - but significantly bigger.

The Amazon Kindle DX is not so much a revolutionary new addition to Amazon's product line as it is a perhaps useful niche product for academia. And it's too early to tell whether Amazon will be able to penetrate the market enough with its dedicated e ...

Amazon Kindle DX

Large display makes browsing a bit easier, comfortable to handle, keyboard easier to work with, auto-rotate, 4GB of storage

Still doesn't have backlighting

The Amazon Kindle DX is not so much a revolutionary new addition to Amazon's product line as it is a perhaps useful niche product for academia. And it's too early to tell whether Amazon will be able to penetrate the market enough with its dedicated e ...

The Amazon Kindle DX is indeed larger than the Kindle 2: the new model measures 246x183x9.65mm. (The Kindle 2 checks in at the same thickness, but is shorter and narrower.) The Amazon Kindle DX has a 9.7in. diagonal screen; the Kindle 2 has a...
