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

I waited a while to order my Kindle DX in hopes that the price would come down. Unfortunately that wasn't happening. Therefore I made the "investment". I couldn't be happier!! For me one of the main reasons I wanted the DX instead of the Kindle 2 was my desire to be able to increase the font size and still maintain a decent amount of text on the screen. The DX totally fullfills my needs. My aging eyes are now able to enjoy reading again without eye strain.

I love all the other features mentioned in other reviews and many of the technical shortcomings mentioned aren't as much of a concern for me. It's a great way to read a book.Get more detail about Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation.

The product was very easy to setup and use. All of the directions that came with the product were clear and the product operated as proclaimed. Placing PDF files on the Kindle was straight forward, which caused a problem, normally things are not as easy as the directions that came with the Kindle, once the directions were followed it was a snap to operate.
The only thing that I would like to see with the Kindle is the ability to organize documents into folders, at present there are only three options "Most Recent First", "Title", and "Author", which is fine if you are only using for books.
All in all this is a great product.Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device (9.7" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation)Get more detail about Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation.

With 1500 plus reviews, who needs one more? I just want to add the Canadian aspects. This is a comparison of Sony PRS 505 and Kindle DX simply, because I have these two products. The Sony was the first good e-reader in Canada and I've read 47 books with it. Time passed, and now I use the Kindle DX, since a couple of weeks. This is what I think of the two units:

READER. The Kindle DX size is a great plus, if you mostly read at home. For travel, or just to read in the park, the smaller Kindle, or the Sony would be better. The wireless delivery for the Kindle is great, but downloading with the PC was no burden with the Sony. Not being able to group books into categories, is a big minus for the Kindle. The Sony came with a fine leather cover, the Kindle DX cover is 50$ extra and not as nice as the Sony.

AUDIO. The Sony audio is excellent and includes record data, and even the cover art. The Kindle DX audio is dismal. Mp3 files, which play perfectly with the Sony and iPod Classic or Shuffle, on the Kindle Dx play with periodic distortion. This I think is a shame, since all the more sophisticated functions of the Kindle DX work flawlessly. With the Kindle DX, there is no way to select, what you want to listen to. Your only choice is to listen all files, in the order in which they were transferred from the PC. As a minimum, a shuffle option should be added to the Kindle.

BOOK AVAILABILITY IN CANADA. This is an area, where the Kindle shines. While Sony is apparently abandoning their Canadian customers, Amazon is constantly improving their offerings for Canada. This is the main reason, I bought the Kindle DX. Many of the books formerly offered to Canada, are now restricted to US ONLY with Sony. When I read, that Amazon wants to be the best consumer oriented Company, I tend to believe them.

FUTURE. I understand, that the Amazon-Kindle books can be read on the new Apple iPad. This means, that there is compatibility with future devices. I don't know where Sony stands on this issue.

We don't live in a perfect world, Both these devices have their merits. On the basis of book availability in Canada, I will stay with the Kindle DX from now on.Get more detail about Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation.

Got the DX recently. It is awesome. I chose Kindle over the iPad to combat eye strain. And I chose DX over Kindle 2 for the larger screen so I can read academic papers. Navigating the Kindle is pretty easy. I'm not an HCI expert so I'm sure the UI could be improved, but it was pretty easy for me to use. The resolution is fine and things are easy to read. I love the native PDF reader. I can easily display foreign language text using it.

The reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because I think it could still be improved:

1. Needs a better way to organize documents and books. There should be a way to tag each document with arbitrary labels and have those labels show up at the top. This seems like it should be achievable with a simple software upgrade.

2. A lot of wasted space on the device that could have been used to either make the device smaller or the screen bigger. I like the feel of the keyboard, but the chasms between keys are gigantic and really slows you down. I mean come on, Blackberry's been around for how long now? And no one has been managed to come up with a better keyboard.

All in all it's an awesome device so far. I will update as I get to know my DX more.Get more detail about Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation.

I have been very curious about eReaders for some time now. I purchase a jetbook as a birthday present for a friend, after reviewing Kindles (this was pre-iPad). My friend really likes his jetbook. I think it's way too small. When the iPad came out, I decided to check it out. I really liked the navigation with iPad, but found that it was a bit heavy, was difficult to read in sunlight and the screen smudges easily. But I really liked how pages turn when reading books. So, I decided to try the Kindle DX. It arrived yesterday afternoon, and already, I am thinking of returning, for the following reasons:

1. the screen refresh is so odd; it completely fizzes out and then the new page comes up. Maybe it's a defect. If it's not, it just doesn't work for me;
2. the screen changes when navigating, take too long
3. the screen takes a while to change when I go from portrait to landscape
4. the type is actually not that easy to read

So, for me, for close to $500, I'm not happy and am now thinking of getting the iPad.Get more detail about Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation.

I have only had my Kindle 5 weeks and so far I am very happy. Ordering books is easy and so fast (less than one minute). If you want to sample the book before purchase, you are given a surprisingly large number of pages to review. The dictionary feature is wonderful, just click by the word and the definition pops up at the bottom of the page. You can set the print to the size that is best for your comfort. I printed out the instructions so I can have them on hand. I know I need to get more familiar with all the features, but so far it is great. And I am not adept with digital/computer devices.Get more detail about Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G, 9.7" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally – Latest Generation.
