Here are my first impressions of the Kindle DX which I received earlier today. I’ve been using the Kindle 2 for the past three months and have loved it. It has improved the way I read by making it easy to download and try books before purchasing them, and allowing me to carry a variety of reading material with me. I was disappointed with the way it handled PDF’s, which is important to me, so I sold the Kindle 2 and bought the DX.
- The DX works like the Kindle 2 in terms of keys, navigation, joystick etc., except all the navigation keys are on the right.
- Was concerned about lack of navigation on the left, but if you flip it 180 degrees, the display auto rotates and you can use your left hand. Very slick.
- The DX is heavier, but is still comfortable to hold and read.
- The overall size of the DX is not as big as I expected from the pictures on the web.
- The digital ink looks similar on both, but a little sharper on the DX.
- The DX works much better for PDF’s overall. The bigger screen really helps here.
- A complex powerpoint I converted to pdf looks just like it does on my pc except in b&w.

The differentiating feature of the Kindle is the built in wireless capability. Not only is it elegant and integrated, it is also included in the purchase price. If unlimited wireless were priced separately, a reasonable price would be around $10/month. So effectively my out of pocket cost using the DX for 2 years is roughly equivalent to what the wireless would cost me if it was priced separately.

Both the DX and Kindle 2 are good values. If you only read books, the Kindle 2 is probably better. If you already own a Kindle 2, and don’t read PDF’s, I recommend keeping your Kindle 2. If you read a lot of pdf’s or newspapers, or you like to read with large fonts, you’ll be happier with the DX. For my needs, I like the DX more.

    My Kindle DX shipped July 30. I really liked it until today. There is a white out on about 1/12 of screen so you cannot read many words on the page and the text is running veritical and horizontal at the same time. The product has not been dropped or otherwise damaged during use. When I called Amazon Kindle support they said they had never heard of problem, even though I told them I found in a few seconds on the web. They asked me to reset, which I did, but problem persisted. I was then told that the problem was not covered by warranty!!!!!!!!!!! I asked how could they know that without looking at device and they said it was not on known list of manufacturer defects. They told me to not even bother sending it in for warranty service but if I wanted a new one, I could pay them $250.00!! I spoke to 2 supervisors at the Washington call center who gave me the same line. Amazon is not standng behind this product, and this is the worst example of poor customer service I have encountered. I asked them how could they make a technical diagnosis over phone and they had no good answer, just kept repeating that it was not a covered defect. I asked them why they would not just say “send it in and we will take a look at it”, and they said it was a waste of time because it was not covered (even though they were 3000 miles away from unit and had not seen it) They wiggled when I demanded a written explanantion of denial of warranty service ( which to me is breach of contract.Kindle DX: Amazon’s 9.7″ Wireless Reading Device (Latest Generation) DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Amazon should be ashamed of itself. They have lost a valuable and up to now loyal customer.

  14. It still remains a mystery why Jesus allows that.

  15. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never realize. It seems too complex and extremely broad for my situation. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

  16. Thanks for sharing this article with us.”Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device” is very useful for us. Because The Kindle DX’s new 9.7” e-ink display is perfect for reading books and personal documents. Kindle DX can store up to 3,500 books, and downloads books within 60 seconds. And that information we are getting form your article. Keep posting.

  17. This really is acquiring a bit a lot more subjective, but I significantly prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has much more flair, and some cool functions like 楳ixview?that let you rapidly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on 1 of those will center on that item, and another set of 渘eighbors?will come into view, allowing you to navigate about exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune 淪ocial?is also great fun, letting you uncover others with shared tastes and becoming buddies with them. You then can listen to a playlist designed based on an amalgamation of what all your buddies are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will probably be relieved to know you can stop the public from seeing your individual listening habits should you so decide on.
