Okay, I purchased my Kindle in mid-April, and never really got a chance to read on it until a month later. I was a bit disappointed with the screen. It was definitely not like physical book reading. I had to have on not only a lamp, but overhead lights, and then scoot closest to the light source. Was I going blind????!! However, the ability of downloading books and documents to read on the go is the best thing since sliced bread. I hate to say I don't even want to carry real books anymore. I also didn't like the price--I thought it was way too expensive for a reader. What would make this better? A cheaper price and school books. Come on schools! I'll pay for the PDF documents, just get those ebooks going!
So I was almost devastated when I saw the lower priced graphite Kindle DX. The best thing about it was the changed screen, but it didn't have other things I would have liked, so I wasn't too upset. Then I finally turned on the wifi on my Kindle. Yes, I've had this almost three months and never used the wifi. I saw that the update downloaded automatically, and, blam, a noticeably updated screen.
This Kindle will tide me over for quite a while. Too bad I didn't get in on the lower price, but hey, that's the way it goes sometime. I feel that another refresh will lower the DX to $299...a very competitive price. Hopefully a color screen and "even better" screen viewing will also come next. Otherwise, great device!
Oh, I use the m-edge synthetic leather cover that does not have a closure strap (m-Edge GO!). It looks great, and protects my Kindle from dust. However the device protection is just "okay"; the binding could be better.Get more detail about Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation.
