Cheap Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation


This product should be dead in about a year. Ipad will probably put Kindle in the history books. Why should I pay $200-$500 for a Kindle that won't let me read ANY of the books I've already bought (I buy aout 2 dozen per year and always have about a dozen that have not been read yet)? If Amazon were smart, when you bought a Kindle, they would allow you to download for FREE any book that your already own that has been "Kindle-ized". Then the purchase would be a no-brainer. But buying something that I can't use until I buy MORE books...no thanks.

The only option for Amazon would be to raise the Kindle-ized book prices to be on-par with the physical book and then just give the Kindle away - money lost on the hardware sale would quickly be gained back in book sales.

Oh well, it was a nice product while it lasted.

Buying Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation


I bought the DX primarily for study and work. I wanted to be able to read pdf research articles easily and to highlight and annotate. They certainly do come up well and I will use it a lot for that purpose but I can't highlight or annotate them. It appears that those functions only work on books. I tried sending them to my free kindle address only to find that that function is not available in Australia. I have bought books and read them mostly happily on it but it is a bit large and unwieldy for novel reading purposes. I read a lot of articles for work and study so will use it frequently but am not happy that product description is not clearer and the geographical restrictions. As someone who has had an ebook for sometime and has well over 500 enovels the whole geographical restriction fiasco has been a disaster and to find it permeates the whole ebook environment was incredibly irritating. A lot of my work and uni colleagues were watching to see how this purchase would turn out but sadly I can only say what it does it does well but it isn't as useful as expected.Get more detail about Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation.

Purchase Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation


The only thing (I repeat: ONLY) keeping me from purchasing this item is the button placement. While holding the DX with either my right hand or both hands, my fingers occasionally hit or . This is extremely frustrating. Why not put those two buttons at the top of the tablet? I dream of a Kindle with the sides free for my hands to hold wherever I chose.

Order Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation


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.

Where To Buy Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation


This is an amazing product for people who love to read. It does for books what the ipod did for music.

Its a little heavier than I expected, but not too bad--and WAY better than carrying around a bag-full of textbooks. At the time of this review, I find that about a third of my textbooks are available in Kindle format. When they are available, they typically cost less than 1/2 the price offered at the campus bookstore. Classic literature (novels, philosophy, etc) is usually free or ridiculously inexpensive. I expect the DX will pay for itself in about 2 years.

The ability to read pdf files makes it convenient for reading articles from scientific and academic journals, as well as online handouts. However, when viewing pdf's, it displays a page at a time and the text is consequently rendered fairly small (this is not an issue for me, but I could see it being a problem for some users). Alternatively, you can turn it on its side to get magnified view, but since academic journals are normally laid out in a 2-column format, you have to turn the page back and forth several times to completely read a single page in this orientation (and again, this only applies to pdf documents laid out in a multi-column format).Get more detail about Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation.
