Kindle DX For Sale - Review - Rekindling Romance of Kindle 2 With DX Ebook Reader From Amazon

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.

Wired Love: A Romance of Dots and Dashes

A 19-year-old young woman becomes obsessed with chatting electronically with a young man 70+ miles away. Not unlike a zillion young women and men in the 21st century.

Wired Love: An Electronic Romance

Yet this “online” romance took place in the 1800s!

Nettie is a telegraph operator who dreams of being an author. One day in the course of normal business she receives a message from “C” a telegraph operator in another city. They strike up a “conversation” in Morse Code, and soon become fast electronic friends.

If you’ve ever chatted online over the Internet, you’ll recognize the feeling of excitement Nettie had each morning when getting to chat with her online buddy. Their conversations passed the time and made the job less boring.

And if you’ve ever met someone in real life who you had previously only known online, you’ll also recognize the strange feeling of trying to reconcile the person you had created in your head with the physical being in front of you.

While the story and ensuing romance were somewhat corny toward the end, with the typical “Three’s Company” type misunderstandings threatening to keep Nettie and “C” from being together, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Mostly because I found it so cool that chatting online is not a new phenomenon.

This book will definitely be of interest to almost anyone who’s ever chatted online, for that very reason.

Married Life: The True Romance

I’m not sure how I stumbled upon this wonderful book at Amzaon.com, but I’m sure glad I did.  The funny thing is, for some reason there was no description or reviews of the version I read, but being married for 26 (or so) years I thought the title was cool, so I got it “just because.” I had no idea of what year it was even written in, but I see now it was originally  published in 1920, which jibes with the storyline.

This book could have been called something like “After Happily Ever After” (although I’m sure there are probably other books or movies with that title) because it chronicles that part of life/marriage when the fairy tale ends.  How many young girls want so much to get married, only to discover that married life is not all it’s cracked up to be? Especially when money is tight, and especially when you’re married during a time when it wasn’t “fashionable” for a married woman to continue to work outside of the home to help support the family.

The story revolves around the married life of Marie and Osborn Kerr, a very much in love young and beautiful couple who, like most young lovers, knew they would always be ecstatically happy and in love as long as they were together. But trying to live on one salary (which had been plenty for a bachelor) and on top of that having children, takes its toll on both the breadwinner and the bread-baker.

Author May Edginton, does a great job of showing both husband and wife’s side of the story, although I think she showed some bias towards the female point of view. Much of it was written from Marie’s perspective as the new wife/mother at home with not enough budget to take care of even the bare necessities, yet all she wanted to do was make sure she kept her husband happy.

For me, this book brought back memories and feelings of my own stay at home mom days with 3 little ones and a husband in law school and barely enough money to go around. Certainly Marie’s situation was much worse than mine if nothing more than it being the early 20th century, but I very much empathized with her feelings of having gone from a situation where you had everything you needed and wanted–to suddenly not.

Like Marie, in those days of my life I also recall many nights of going to bed with my only thoughts centered on the monotony and drudgery of the day ahead. That knowing that when you wake up, you’ll just be doing it all over yet again feeling.

And from the husband’s point of view, they feel bad enough that they’re not making the kind of money they want to be making in order to properly take care of their family. Which leaves them stressed out even more. When poor Marie would need something imperative for one of the babies, she was so afraid to have to ask her husband for some more money because she knew how he would react–as if it were her fault.

The story takes an unexpected turn when Osborn learns he has to travel from England to America and Canada for a full  year, in exchange, his salary will increase substantially.

I related to this story on so many levels in my own life. For instance, my grandmother (who is soon to turn 102) got married in the same time period, and also had to quit her job because of it. She was not pleased. She was the type of woman who should have been born much later in the century as she really wanted to be a professional woman and wasn’t all that interested in having children. Having heard her tell me this many times, I thought of her while reading the book. I felt that Marie (and my grandmother) would have been much more comfortable in the latter part of the 20th century when there was no reason for a woman to quit her job just because she got married.

I was also pleased to see the theme of  forgiveness running through the end of this book. Without giving anything away, I learned many years ago, that the key to being able to stay married and somewhat sane is forgiveness. There are so many things that happen that can make wives and husbands feel that any love they may have once had for the other has eroded so much as to be not enough left to sustain the relationship. I’ve learned, as I think eventually the characters in this story did as well, that forgiveness–true forgiveness–magically replenishes that love that you may have thought was gone forever.
