Abstract: Three and half months after Amazon released the Kindle 2 ebook reader, they’ve followed up with the super-sized Kindle DX. The DX looks, feels and acts much like its smaller brother—in fact the physical resemblance is uncanny. It’s nearly as thin (whi...
Abstract: Another month, another version of the Kindle. I’ve been using a Kindle since it was shaped like a very thin doorstop and I’m delighted each time I see a new version. The latest version is the DX, a monstrous 9-inch version of the smaller Kindle 2 that...

Abstract: Amazon’s Kindle DX was announced back at the beginning of May, but it’s taken until now for the first of the oversized ebook readers to reach buyers’ hands. The Kindle DX begins shipping this week, promising more E Ink real estate, more memory, and mo...

With a much-larger screen and more storage, the Amazon Kindle DX is a nice addition to the Kindle family. But its almost-$500 price tag might be prohibitively high....

The Kindle DX offers 2.5 times the screen real estate as the Kindle 2; native PDF support; you can switch from portrait to landscape mode by just turning the device; large library of tens of thousands of e-books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs via Am...
Expensive; somewhat heavy compared with the Kindle 2; no expansion slot for adding more memory; no protective carrying case included; battery is sealed into the device and isnt removable.
The pricey Kindle DX offers improvements over the Kindle 2, but its larger chassis has its pluses and minuses. Price range: $489.00 check prices
Large display makes browsing a bit easier, comfortable to handle, keyboard easier to work with, auto-rotate, 4GB of storage
Still doesn’t have backlighting
The Amazon Kindle DX is not so much a revolutionary new addition to Amazon’s product line as it is a perhaps useful niche product for academia. And it’s too early to tell whether Amazon will be able to penetrate the market enough with its dedi...
