Amazon Kindle DX

By Roberto Baldwin (maclife.com)

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 (laptopmag.com)

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 (pcmag.com)

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...

My lovely Kindle DX

By fansitesdir (maclife.com)

I've bought a Kindle DX few weeks ago at Revolution Store and I'm really impressed with it. It's wonderful. I love it. Source: Revolution Store.

Manufacturer's Description

Kindle DX is as thin as most magazines. Just over a third of an inch in profile, you'll find Kindle DX fits perfectly in your hands. Kindle DX's large display is ideal for a broad range of reading material, including graphic-rich books, PDFs, newspapers, magazines, and blogs. Kindle DX's display is two and a half times the size of the Kindle display. Whether you're reading the latest bestseller or a financial report, text and images are amazingly sharp on the 9.7" screen. Kindle DX is...
