Amazon Kindle DX Review

Well supposedly the kindle Dx will be the biggest selling Christmas gift for men this year. It currently has 2,332 Reviews on Amazon, 1,222 5-star, 237 1-star (as of Nov 10th 2010).

However, is it just me or are the iPad and the kindle just simply awkward and impractical to use? I recently saw a guy on the private with an iPad trying to stand there holding it in his palm with the other hand tapping it, all the while trying not to fall over.

Well I suppose with the Kindle you can grip it without your thumb face the screen, but the damn thing's so slim I'd just dream losing it in a week.

Should you buy Amazon's Kindle Dx?: Well it comes down to what you want to read. If it's reading magazine articles, journal articles, and newspapers then user reviews on Amazon state that it's excellent for this.

If it's for smaller sized material then the Kindle 2 is more than proficient and cheaper.

However the crusade features of the Dx may prove to be invaluable for students, and there's no doubt the Dx helps in areas of portability..rice

Price: 9.99

*Note: (Cheaper Kindle Models less than half the price of the Dx are available).

Features and Benefits:

High inequity E-Ink Screen: Graphite Kindle Dx uses all new and improved electronic ink display delivering 50% best contrast, creating clearest text and sharpest images.

Attractive Large Display: The 9.7? diagonal E-ink screen (essentially the size of a quite big hard-back book but obviously much slimmer), is much best grand to a broad range of reading material such as their graphic-rich books, Pdfs and newspapers which are included, as opposed to their earlier smaller models.

Negatives:

It's 2010 - What about Color? Reading Pdfs which come in color will look bland as will pictures from any form of media.

Folder organization is non existent! Right now, all articles/blogs/Pdfs/newspapers/books etc get lumped together in one big menu. Not having the capability to organise all things into categories I think is a major floor and not too difficult fix. Maybe hereafter upgrades will consolidate this.

The memory card slot is missing from the Dx. Not allowing the user to add extra memory is annoying.

Do we advise it?

90% of reviews on Amazon do rave about it so it's not all bad but fixing some of the points listed under negatives would help. It's a bit pricey but this years must have pressie for some. The "Daddy" of Christmas presents if you're an avid reader.
