Amazon Kindle DX review: Amazon Kindle DX

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.

Amazon Kindle DX

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.

Amazon Kindle DX E-Reader Review

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.

Review: Amazon.com Kindle DX

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

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...
