Is the Kindle DX Worth the Investment?

The Kindle DX, now with global wireless, is the latest addition to the Kindle reader family. Its design was greatly shaped after the Kindle 2. The finish is white, with a bottom keyboard. There are navigation keys, and at the right, a 5 way joystick. However, it is bigger than the Kindle 2, with a 9.7" display screen, and is only 1/3" thick, which makes it comfortable to use and easy to carry.

Another nice feature of the Kindle DX is the 4GB internal memory that can store up to 3,500 eBooks, periodicals and documents. Plus you can download your books in less than 60 seconds. No PC is required. The 3G wireless allows you to download directly to your Kindle DX without any monthly charges or annual contracts. Furthermore, it now comes with global coverage. International users in over 100 countries can have access to Amazon's 275,000 plus books.

Then there's the long-awaited built-in PDF reader. You can read in either portrait or landscape without the loss of your original file's formatting. The auto-rotating screen enables you to see maps in full width, large graphs and a complete web page. Also, unlike the earlier Kindle, the DX lets you add notes and highlights. You can search for PDF files too, unless they are image based. Then this feature will not work.

The electronic paper display has also been enlarged, and with its 16 shades of gray there is more room for rich graphic content. The screen uses real ink, without a backlight, which makes reading the Kindle just like reading from paper. This technology helps to reduce eyestrain, something that is a common problem with many other electronic readers.

Another great bonus is a text to speech feature. The DX can read newspapers, magazines, books and other material out loud to you, provided that the right's holder of the document has made this feature available. Amazon also offers free book samples with the Kindle and Kindle DX. You can sample the first few chapters of a book before buying it.

You can carry and read all your personal and professional documents wherever you go. It's all stored in one handy little gadget. Plus the long battery life will give you uninterrupted reading pleasure for up to a week. That's a vast improvement over the previous battery life of 4 days.

One more point worth mentioning; if you are concerned about the environment, think of the number of trees you are saving! There is no question that any Kindles are good for the ecosystem.

So we can certainly present a good argument for the Kindle DX positives, but what about the negatives? Does it have any? Yes it does. The main complaint seems to be the price. It's very expensive. At the time of this writing, Amazon was selling it for $489.00. Another criticism is the lack of video and color. However, despite these factors, the pros of owning one definitely outweigh the cons. The Kindle's reading material is less costly than any mass marketed book or periodical. Therefore, while it might cost more upfront, there will be a huge saving in the long run.

The Amazon Kindle Cover - Protect Your Investment

The Amazon Kindle cover that comes with the electronic reading device is rather inadequate with some things that will annoy someone who's just spent a several hundred dollars on a high-quality piece of electronics. The original Kindle cover had even more problems, but the latest incarnation, still leaves some things that the Kindle owner might find annoying.

The most common complaint with the cover that comes with the Kindle, is the way that it keeps the eBook reader in place. While it has two slots, which you can slip your eBook reader into, there is a tendency for it to slip out, and if you're not careful, it could hit the floor. As we know with all electronics, this is not an ideal circumstance. Many workarounds involving Velcro in strategic places have been suggested to keep the Kindle in one place when a person is reading.

There have also been a number of very good aftermarket companies offering stylish, high-quality solutions to the Kindle cover quagmire. Three higher quality brands are Strangedog, Stylzworld and Noreveusa

Amazon also has a new cover coming out at the end of the November called the M-edge cover, which is much anticipated. There are 12 different models that are genuine leather in various colors and compatible with an e-Luminator book light. If you own a Kindle, you'll immediately recognize how a book light that connects and doesn't wobble is a good investment for your Electronic Reading Device. There are also non-leather "Leisure Jackets" that sell for less, but on the whole the M-edge is a luxurious addition to the Kindle cover arena.

Strangedog

Strangedog offers handmade covers that are both beautiful and custom. He only makes a couple in each style and each is very well crafted and durable. He offers the Velcro option to hold the Kindle in place, and will even take fabric from the customer in order to make a cover to spec. There is a waiting period as he only makes a limited number of these per week. Strangedog take pride in his hand made covers, and the level of craftsmanship is excellent. In this plug-n-play world, Strangedog is a one of a kind vendor who prides his work over mass production.

Stylzworld

Stylzworld offers a cover that is made of unique cognac brown leather with a sparkling design on the inside. It is genuine leather, tri-fold cover that has cutouts for credit, business and memory cards as well as other types of documents. It has an innovative holding system as well as a cutout in the back for the on/off buttons. You will have to contact them if you live in the United States as they are currently looking for distributors and are mainly located in Europe.

Noreveusa

A traditional leather case/cover is offered from Noreveusa and comes in 3 colors. It has a clasp that closes and holds the Kindle steady. It has the same problems presented with the original Kindle, although the clasp and leather make it a nice Kindle cover to consider.

Amazon offers a few different cases that will protect your Kindle if a cover isn't what you're looking for. These other options include a Neoprene Sleeve Case with a screen protector, a travel package that includes a leather case and travel book light, and a black neoprene case that's good for travel. However according to the word in the Kindle forum, it appears that most people are waiting on the M-edge genuine leather executive case as the best buy in Kindle covers for Christmas.
