Design: The Amazon Kindle DX offers about 2 times the screen space of the Kindle 2 with its 9.7 inch "e-ink" display and 1200x824 pixel resolution. Weighing in at 18.9 ounces the reader is larger and heavier making it more suited for a bag than a pocket. The reader offers a built-in QWERTY keyboard and is slightly thicker than the Kindle 2.
Specifications: While the Kindle DX maintains the same technology as its smaller siblings, it comes with about 4GB of memory and native PDF support. The reader also features a gyroscope sensor as it automatically goes from portrait to landscape depending on its orientation. The bigger reader features a sealed battery for about two weeks of battery life on a single charge with a 3G wireless data connection. Like the new Kindle 2 the Kindle DX display offers 16 shades of gray and customizable fonts. The reader still cannot handle Flash or online video content.
Features & Performance: The Web browser has been improved and can better handle website browsing despite showing everything in gray. Like other Kindle devices you need to be within range of Amazon services to enjoy the Whispernet connection (meaning in the US only). Firmware, blog and news updates are automatically downloaded. While other Kindle readers have had problems with PDF files, the Kindle DX is much better at it with the ability to zoom-in on the texts.
Overall, the reader isn't excessively heavy, but after a while it can be a strain on your arms compared to a smaller device or normal book. However, as an electronic display device for text and print it is unmatched by any tablet PC or similarly sized device thanks to its better readability. These features make it the perfect textbook replacement device, as it is both lighter than most real textbooks while the bigger screen space makes reading a lot easier.
