Kindle DX Wireless Ebook Device

Kindle DX Ebooks Reader

Reading is a great activity to keep the mind healthy and for entertainment. But many people find carrying large books when they travel a hassle and simply don't want to put up with it.

The Kindle DX ebook device from Amazon offers an elegant solution. This little device is an eBook reader that allows you to read your favorite books without bringing the physical copy with you.

The Kindle DX Ebook Device looks, feels and acts much like its smaller brother—in fact the physical resemblance is uncanny. It’s nearly as thin (which is to say extremely thin).

This ebooks reader has that first gen iPhone-style brushed aluminum back with the plastic top section that covers the Whispernet antenna, has a QWERTY thumb keyboard for note-taking and searches, has a built-in dictionary and it has a grayscale e-ink display. Like the Kindle and Kindle 2, the DX works with ebooks sold by Amazon (over 300,000 as of this writing) and .mobi ebooks that aren’t copy protected.

Best of all, the Kindle DX Ebook Device was engineered not to feel big. Virtually the same thickness as the Kindle 2, the 19-ounce heft won't tax your wrists. Its keyboard is actually a little smaller than the Kindle 2's, so almost all of the DX's front surface is covered by the screen. This feels less gadgety, more tablety. It's very comfortable to hold, and as with the Kindle 2, the DX becomes invisible once you become entranced by an author's spell.

The reader's appearance is further streamlined by its absence of buttons on the left-hand side of the unit; the controls to turn pages have migrated exclusively to the right side.

Kindle DX Wireless Ebook Device Features

Kindle DX Portable Ebook Reader

A big selling point of the kindle dx ebook device is the fact that you can get almost and eBook you want on it. There is also a feature where you use the Kindle to buy books directly and Amazon will send you the file wirelessly. The new DX has a much faster draw rate then the previous Kindles and it can turn pages much quicker.

What’s new? The Kindle DX portable ebook reader adds native PDF support and a screen large enough to view most PDFs. The 9.7” diagonal display is 2.5x larger than the Kindle, Kindle 2 and Sony Reader PRS-505’s 6” display.

The 6” readers have 800 x 600 pixel resolution 167ppi displays while the Kindle DX portable ebook reader is 1200 x 824 at 150ppi. Like the Kindle 2, the DX has 16 shades of gray but images look better thanks to the larger display.

The Kindle ebooks reader can rotate to landscape mode (in fact it can rotate in all 4 directions), which is useful for PDFs. The Kindle 2 can’t do this, while the Sony Reader 505 and PRS-700 support landscape mode.

The Sony models require a button press to rotate, while the Kindle DX has an accelerometer so you need only turn the ebook reader to rotate the display.

The accelerometer is sensitive but not overly so, and you can disable this feature if it bothers rather than helps and use a menu to switch orientation instead. Lastly, the kindle dx ebook device has an improved web browser, though it’s not so fast and full-featured that you’ll be hankering to give up your cell phone’s data plan.

Like the Kindle and Kindle 2, the Kindle DX has a QWERTY keyboard, and like those two, it can’t complete with the better QWERTY-phone keyboards on the market. While the Kindle 2’s are round, the Kindle DX keys are rectangular and smaller.

The keyboard area itself is smaller, so that the device could be as small as possible. The numbers share keys with the top row of letters, so you must hit the alt key to enter numbers (a minor annoyance when using the go to page/location feature). The page turn buttons are only on the right side (the Kindle 2 has them on both sides).

This may annoy those who regularly use the left side buttons on the Kindle 2, but as a leftie, I always use the buttons on the right. You can rotate the display upside down to move the buttons to the left side (the joystick reorients itself when you rotate the Kindle DX-- nice). Of course, the keyboard is difficult to use when the DX is upside down!

The display, as with all e-ink screens, is incredibly sharp and easy on the eyes with none of that laptop glare or eye-tiring 60Hz screen refresh. It’s a bit more contrasty and sharp than the Kindle 2, though it still doesn’t have quite the contrast of the Sony Reader 505 (the Sony’s background is whiter).

Still, the Kindle DX has an excellent display for reading text and one can read for hours on end without suffering eyestrain. As with the Kindle 2, there are 6 text sizes to choose from (press the Aa button to select the size), and one standard system font for body text (the same font as the Kindle and Kindle 2).

New for the Kindle DX is the Words per Line option: fewest, fewer and default. The font sizes are the same as the smaller Kindle, but obviously it displays more words per page given the larger screen, making the large print option more tolerable.
