The Kindle DX is the best invention for readers since paper! My favorite books are now on my bookshelves and when I vacation I just pack my Kindle DX and my ENTIRE library goes on vaca with me. No more wondering what book to take or how many can I pack without going over the weight limit on the plane. My Kindle DX won't take the place of printed books but it will give me more choices of how I want to read. I can even download audio books and have the kindle read them to me. All my magazines, newspapers and 78 books (and counting) now go with me onto a plane and I have no worries about them taking up to much room. It is also nice that you can turn the Kindle in your hands and the print adjusts so you can hold it straight up and it will read in portrait mode or hold it lengthwise and it will read in landscape mode.
Kindle DX is very easy to use, at a touch of a button you can easily turn a page or go back a page, skip to a chapter or page. If you turn the Whispernet off your battery will last longer and you can still download books, even with whispernet off. All you have to do is turn whispernet on when you get back to your Kindle and it will start your downloads. How easy is that? Now with the 2.5 software upgrade I have my books organized by author and also by genre. Some of the options could be better explained, like downloading a PDF book format to my computer and having Amazon convert it to a .AWZ file so it can be used on my Kindle. I had to call the Kindle Support to have them walk me thru doing that. But once explained it was SO easy even for a technologically challenged person like me.
If there is a drawback it is that there are so many books that are not available in electronic format yet. Yet I am sure that when some of the authors realize that E-readers such as the Kindle DX, Nook and others on the market are NOT going to replace real printed books, they may embrace the electronic format. Another drawback is if you want to read and not disturb your partner or another plane passenger you have to purchase a light but there is a company M-Edge that makes a great light and cover to both protect the Kindle store the light and power supply.
Don't debate over getting getting a Kindle, the DX is a bit pricey but very well worth the money.Get more detail about Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation.
