The latest Amazon.com e-book reader, the Amazon Kindle DX is the biggest and best thus far. In comparison to the Kindle 2, its primary difference is that it is larger. The Kindle DX is much larger than the Kindle 2 (the screen is 2.5 times larger than the Kindle 2 screen), and its storage space is twice that of the Kindle 2, at 4 GB. According to Amazon.com, that is enough to store 3,500 e-books. However, this physically larger size could also be considered a drawback, since it is accordingly heavier.
Like the Kindle 2, the Amazon Kindle DX sports access to Whispernet, which allows you to browse through and select books and other content without connecting to a computer. You can also adjust the font size of the texts you are reading and listen to MP3 files. In addition to that it supports English PDF files, unlike the Kindle 2. You can even choose whether you want to read in landscape or portrait format by simply rotating the device.
However, due to its similarities to the Kindle 2, the Amazon Kindle DX has many of its predecessor's flaws. There is no port for you to put in SD cards to expand its memory, though you can delete books if you are out of room and later re-download them free of charge. Lastly, it comes with no protective cover or case. You must pay for that separately. This e-book reader may have its flaws, but it is undoubtedly still an extremely capable reading device. Currently, there are no other devices in the market that can even come close to matching the features of the Kindle DX.
