Just over a year ago, we reviewed Amazon's jumbo-sized Kindle, the Kindle DX. And just a few weeks ago, Amazon outed a new, $379 Graphite gray version of the...

Unsere Kollegen von Engadget US haben gestern das Kindle DX ausgepackt und getestet: Der große Bruder des Kindle 2 ist dabei vor allem durch seine "ernsthaft schreckliche" Tastatur aufgefallen. An seiner neuen Größe, die der eines Taschenbuchs...

Here's the one-line summary of the Kindle DX: It's a Kindle 2 with a larger screen, hair-trigger orientation sensor, and an awful keyboard. Seriously awful. Y...

Amazon Kindle DX
Large-screen e-book reader with improved, higher contrast e-ink screen; large library of hundreds of thousands of e-books, newspapers, and blogs via Amazon's familiar online store; free 3G wireless access; can store up to 3,500 books; eight fonts...
Though it's more affordable than the previous DX model, the price is still within spitting distance of the more versatile iPad; heavier weight (than smaller Kindle) could make long reading sessions tiresome; doesn't support EPUB files; no protective...
Though it has a hard time competing with Apple's iPad in terms of functionality, the less-expensive 2010 Kindle DX will appeal to those looking for a large, dedicated e-reader with an e-ink display.

Budget e-reader delivers clear text and basic functionality in a light, well-presented package.
Expert review by : Dan Costa (pcmag.com)
Amazon's latest e-book reader is a super-size, super-expensive version of the Kindle.
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.

Big screen ; Adds PDF support ; Lean, elegant design
Keyboard is awkward to type on ; Expensive
Though the Kindle DX is an impressive e-book reader, its high price will likely turn off some prospective buyers.

Another Kindle? It seems that it was only four months ago that we saw a new version of Amazon's e-reader. In fact, it was only...
Big-screen device that’s even more readable than the original Kindle. PDF support is a welcome addition
High cost of admission. Pivot mode has hair trigger. Southpaws will find the reader cumbersome
Expert review by : Vincent Nguyen (slashgear.com)
Amazon's Kindle DX was announced back at the beginning of May, but it's taken until now for the first of the oversized ebook readers to reach buyers' hands. The Kindle DX begins shipping this week, promising more E Ink real estate, more memory, and...

After the official announcement we had the chance to go hands-on with the new Amazon Kindle DX , and despite the overall family resemblance it feels a very different device to the Kindle 2 . Where that e-reader prioritizes the hand-feel and portability...
