Amazon made a brilliant move to release the new Kindle DX for Sale. Review the substantial improvements made over the K2 with several well thought out features. If you are already in love with kindles, rekindling the romance with DX is the sweetest idea. Some serious changes have been introduced in terms of ergonomics and overall appearance of the portable ebook reader. Here are a few in brief.
Rich PDF support
One of the primary upgrade specification is the ability to read PDFs with superb ease, something that was troublesome in the last generation. You can store hundreds of pdf files and pull them up when you need it. And I'm talking about even rich, diagrammatic pdfs that render perfectly in great detail.
The scope and real life applications are endless. Imagine carrying a lifetime of music notations, research papers, technical drawings, instruction manuals, notes etc and the ability to read them from anywhere. Priceless. Mobility + instant access the web + Inexhaustible resources and Information, everything combined makes it a must have possession. Pdf documents can be sent to Kindle DX using a USB cable or through a special email that you need to set up for the device with a small fee. Roughly $0.45 for a pdf of around 2MB. I suggest you to try and use the cable instead, unless you absolutely need to use the email delivery.
Content Access from Kindle Store in 60 seconds
Amazon's content collection rules the roost. The Kindle DX version makes it a breeze to access all that data from Kindle Store for cheap. What I love about it is that, it has nullified the need for a computer and an internet/wifi connection to go online, something which was unthinkable even a few years back.
Enhanced Browser
The new browser is bigger and better than K2. Highly useful to read up google maps and for displaying rich graphics online as well as offline. K2 did have a browser but was unusable because of its smaller size. I see the browsing abilities to be of great advantage especially if you are travelling and you need to look up addresses and directions. The map details are very sharp and the turn-by-turn directions can now be bookmarked even if it fell asleep. The moment you bring it out of sleep, it will still be displaying the directions without having to touch an extra button. So you can never get lost anymore with the DX for company.
Larger Display Screen
The larger screen is a boon for this ebook reader. Though Kindle2 is a 5 star rated product, Kindle DX furthers the phrase "live life kingsize", or I say "read life kingsize". You will instantly know that reading on a DX gives so much more room to breathe.
Compact Keyboard
The new keyboard is something which may bother you for a day or two if you are already habituated with K2 because it has been compacted the same to make it look sleeker, thus creating more space for the screen instead. But the smaller keyboard isn't compromising in any way for all your typing needs.
Smart rotation feature similar to Apple iPhones
Nothing new about this one but it's cool to have on a Kindle. DX is unidirectional as you can now rotate it from any side and the page aligns itself to your chosen orientation. You can really have fun rotating it on any side and the screen still follows you in real time. The page forward buttons remain the same but the thumb stick reorients so that if you push right in relation to the current orientation, the page will forward itself irrespective of the direction it is facing. It is as simple as flipping it upside down to have the button either on your right or left. You now have an option to have the next and back page on the same side if you are comfortable with one handed reading, unlike Kindle 2 which made you reach over to the other side to flip back and forth.
More Solid and Real Feel
Apart from the sharper paperlike display, It is a little heavier than it's predecessor. This according to me gives it a more solid tactile feel and compares to the weight of a real hard bound book.
Charge while reading
Although the battery lasts long enough for days but if it comes to it, you can read and charge the portable device and read at the same time. It may be a negligible feature but can be useful in a dire strait situation.
Faster Processing
It's superfast in powering up. In a few seconds you can boot it up and get to your last read page.
What's More? Whispernet is still free, without any subscription based service. It means free access to the information superhighway. You can stay mobile and access New York Times, best sellers, check your web-based email visit blogs, magazines, newspapers from anywhere and download books from over 390,000 collection in 60 seconds.
But naturally the expectations are too high from any Amazon product. Hence there is still a lot of scope for software and firmware improvements in future upgrades. While I'd love Kindles to cost less, I have a justification for the price being reasonable if you consider it for long term use. As an expert reviewer and my experience with the original Kindle, I can assure you that you could resell the DX in 2 years for 50%, or $245.
So the net cost you end up spending is $245. And just suppose, instead of the free unlimited wireless connectivity, you had to subscribe to it separately, it would almost be equivalent to what it costs now after two years.
They say old flings die hard. And if you have romanced with either of original 1.0 or K2, then Kindle DX is surely going to fire up your love interest all over again, far more seductively.
