The Kindle DX and Kindle 3G, Which One Is Right For You?

So you have decided to buy an Amazon Kindle but you are not sure which model is right for you. No problem, let's get you straight on the different models, their features and how those features will determine the right one for you.

To start with, congratulations on deciding to buy a Kindle in the first place, as there are other wireless reader's on the market. I congratulate you as you are in the position of many a like mind at all the major tech review sites, such as cnet, gizmodo, engadget, tabletpcreview and others, giving the Kindle DX an average star rating of 4 out of 5 stars.

"Best ebook reader to date" was one of the comments that I read on gizmodo, so this is certainly a good choice for the following reasons:

1. Excellent display, easy to read e ink technology, good contrast

2. Easy to use, no distractions like you would experience on a pc such as email, ims and others

3. Usable keyword and toggle button

4. Good battery life

5. Improvement in many areas over the previous model

The basic difference between the models goes like this:

A. Entry level Kindle WiFi 6 inch screen no 3G - price $139

B. Top level Kindle WiFi plus 3G 6 inch screen - price $189

C. Largest reader, the Kindle DX a 9.7 inch screen, WiFi plus 3G - price $379

That's the basic feature list, of course it goes further than this but the common features will be found on all models and can be discovered if you read more on my website listed below. So how do you decide on which one is right for you?

If you are after a simple electronic book reader, you like to read on the bus or train while commuting to work, have access to a wifi hotspot at home or work and no need for international download access to over 100 countries, the this light weight (easy to hold in one hand) Kindle, the base model would be your obvious choice.

However if the idea of being able to take advantage of the 3G access that comes for free, requires no account anywhere or contract of any kind, sounds appealing then the Kindle 6 plus 3G is the choice for you.

Setting aside just using the Kindle for reading electronic books, you may be interested in using it to read the daily news in a format that is almost like holding a real newspaper in your hands. Reading pdf's is also easier on the eyes on the larger model and then there is the notion of using this for reading text books or journals. Here is where this model stands apart from the other smaller units. With the ability to search on your Kindle, the idea of using this to study is simply brilliant.

If you are comfortable reading a newspaper with two hands, then the Kindle DX is going to fit right in to your day.

So that is it, you now have only to decide if you want to go with graphite or white as your color choice for your new Kindle. To find out more on Kindle where to buy and more, please visit my site, at homeblvd.com/kindle-where-to-buy-kindle/
