Product Description
Sleek & Trim Kindle DX is as thin as most magazines. Just over a third of an inch in profile, you'll find Kindle DX fits perfectly in your hands. Beautiful Large Display Kindle DX's large display is ideal for a broad range of reading material, including graphic-rich books, PDFs, newspapers, magazines, and blogs. Kindle DX's display is two and a half times the size of the Kindle display. Whether you're reading the latest bestseller or a financial report, text and images are amazingly sharp on the 9.7" screen. Auto-Rotating Screen By simply turning the device, you can immediately see full-width landscape views of maps, graphs, tables and Web pages. Built-In PDF Reader Unload the loose documents from your briefcase or backpack, and put them all on Kindle DX. From neighborhood newsletters to financial statements to case studies and product manuals--you can take them all with you on Kindle DX. Native PDF support allows you to carry and read all of your personal and professional documents on the go. With Amazon's Whispernet service, you can send your documents directly to your Kindle DX and read them anytime, anywhere. 5-Way Controller Kindle DX has an easy-to-use 5-way controller, enabling precise on-screen navigation for selecting text to highlight or looking up words. Simple to Use, No Computer Required Kindle DX is completely wireless and ready to use right out of the box--no setup, no cables, no computer required. Long Battery Life - Read for Days Without Recharging With Kindle DX's long battery life, you can read on a single charge for up to 4 days with wireless on. Turn wireless off and read for up to 2 weeks. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store and downloading content. In low coverage areas or in 1xRTT only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery power more quickly.

 Larger size is much better for me March 12, 2010
T. OGrady-Walsh (Washington D.C.)
This size is far better for quick readers.
- With the smaller Kindle at normal font, you're turning pages every few seconds.
- With the DX, I turn pages similar to a paper book.
- I do miss the page-turn buttons on the left hand side though.
- Bonus: school-age boys are far more interested in reading on the Kindle because "it's cool." And with the Kindle, I always have a book available for them to read redardless of where we are
- I also find I read the newspapers more throughly than I do in hard copy, again because I can pick it up and come back to it many times during the day
- The E-ink will keep me with the Kindle vs the back-lit competitors--FAR earlier on the eyes!
Well WORTH every cent!
 wouldn't buy another one March 12, 2010
EDWARD ROBINSON (Boca Raton, Fl, US)
I wouldn't buy another one. First, I have all kinds of problems with the machine. I do not believe it performs properly. I also miss something that I never realize exists about reading a real book .
I also found the tabs that hold the kindle in the cover broke off easily
Some limitations which should be removed March 12, 2010
Giancarlo Ghirardi (Trieste, Trieste Italy)
I want to point out that the fact that the possibility of enlarging the text even for pdf's that I have charged on my Kindle by sending them to you and paying for adapting them to Kindle seems to me not fully correct. You have stated that clearly so I am not raising a question of politeness. But for somebody like me (a scientists) who mainly wants to put many scientific papers in the Kindle to have them at his disposal when he is around the world delivering conferences and so on, to read on the Kindle a page, just to mention a specific case, of The Physical Review (even if you turn the Kindle around) is not an easy task.
I realy enjoy my Kindle DX March 12, 2010
Michael Farmer (Prescott, AZ)
The Kindle DX is perfect for its intended purpose. I have Macular Degeneration and the font choices make reading so much easier than most books. I bought a couple of Bibles but find it too cumbersome to navaigate to different verses to use in church. I wish that my cell phone and digital camera was as easy to view as the Kindle screen. It has everything I want except color. As an artist, it would be nice to be able to download photos of my artwork and use the Kindle as a portfolio. I also find browsing for books cumbersome on the KIndle - it is much easier to surf the amazon.com website to find books. Overall, I am very pleased with this reader.
A Wonderful Reading Device March 11, 2010
A. Ruano (ATTLEBORO, MA, US)
I think the Kindle is a wonderful product for reading books and its very good on the eyes. I like the features it offers and would recommend it to anyone thinking about purchasing one. In a little over a month I have read almost 12 books and I can say that it has been more than probably a years worth as opposed to paper books. I think that for the price of the item, it is missing some required features and little bells. I will mention them what I think the devise is missing and requires: It needs an easy way to organize your books by either date, alphabet, date of purchase, etc. It does give you the option to archive your purchased items in the amazon site but not in the kindle itself. It is not a real issue but when you have many books, your archived books in your devices should be separated with unread items. There should be a feature either password protected or what have you to store items in the Kindle Locked without options to delete or archive, ei dictionary, bible what fancies you. Some books and items suck and are not copied entirely and are missing the little illustrations that sometimes a book may have in between chapters. A Built in clock with date that you can organize and use a a little planner. I purchase a calendar planner and the dates of it work. Don't try to use the planner for any type of planning as typing in it is horrible and not useful. I think I gave a bunch of little examples of little bells and whistles the devise is missing. Having said that, they are tiny things compared to the pleasure the kindle has brought to me for reading. Do yourself a favor, If you are int he market for one BUY IT. You will not regret it, I promise.
