Amazon just super-sized their e-book reader. The Kindle DX’s screen is about the size of a hardback book. The DX offers a more pleasant reading experience. The new reader is as thin as the smaller Kindle 2. It fits comfortably in your hand. The absence of “page turn” buttons on the left hand side will not hinder your reading.
The exclusive built-in PDF reader integrates native support that was sorely lacking in previous Kindles. This new feature enables owners to download the tens of thousands of public domain books available on Google Books. The complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes were seamlessly downloaded to the DX via the Kindle’s wireless service.
The device has 3.3 GB of internal storage. The auto-rotation sensor fascinates the reading PDF and MS Office files. The monochrome display transitions seamlessly from landscape to portrait.
The keyboard is quite difficult to use but doesn’t hinder the overall experience.
The larger screen does not hinder the portability. The 16-shade grayscale screen offers smoother projections and faster page turns. The joystick is a cinch to use and the buttons are responsive.
In our experience with the product, download and transfer times were snappy. The newspaper mode will allow you to enjoy your New York Times subscription that has no adverts.
The text-to-speech seemed crippled. Amazon could not make it flawless because it would cut into lucrative audiobook sales that publishers want to protect.
The Kindle DX is a bookworms ultimate must have gadget. A normal paperback seems prehistoric compared to Kindle’s ability to bookmark, change fonts, annotate, store thousands of books, search text, download new books at a fraction of the price, MP3 functionality, and seamless wireless connectivity.
