Product Description
Sleek & Trim Kindle DX is as thin as most magazines. Just over a third of an inch in profile, you'll find Kindle DX fits perfectly in your hands. Beautiful Large Display Kindle DX's large display is ideal for a broad range of reading material, including graphic-rich books, PDFs, newspapers, magazines, and blogs. Kindle DX's display is two and a half times the size of the Kindle display. Whether you're reading the latest bestseller or a financial report, text and images are amazingly sharp on the 9.7" screen. Auto-Rotating Screen By simply turning the device, you can immediately see full-width landscape views of maps, graphs, tables and Web pages. Built-In PDF Reader Unload the loose documents from your briefcase or backpack, and put them all on Kindle DX. From neighborhood newsletters to financial statements to case studies and product manuals--you can take them all with you on Kindle DX. Native PDF support allows you to carry and read all of your personal and professional documents on the go. With Amazon's Whispernet service, you can send your documents directly to your Kindle DX and read them anytime, anywhere. 5-Way Controller Kindle DX has an easy-to-use 5-way controller, enabling precise on-screen navigation for selecting text to highlight or looking up words. Simple to Use, No Computer Required Kindle DX is completely wireless and ready to use right out of the box--no setup, no cables, no computer required. Long Battery Life - Read for Days Without Recharging With Kindle DX's long battery life, you can read on a single charge for up to 4 days with wireless on. Turn wireless off and read for up to 2 weeks. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store and downloading content. In low coverage areas or in 1xRTT only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery power more quickly.

Kindle DX March 9, 2010
Debbie Philley (Grenada, MS USA)
Have not been happy with this item. Downloaded Bible and it is not fun going from one book of Bible to other, or chapters, verses, etc. Wish the screen itself had some light on it. It is not easy dealing with light attachment. Wish you had page numbers, not percent down at the bottom of screen. Downloaded New Yorker magazine. It only had articles, I wanted to see it in magazine form. I wanted to see what was going on in New York, like new shows, etc.
I do like the ease in downloading books. That is really simple.
Good impression, good experience, but lots are wanting March 9, 2010
Ngo Tran Cong Luan (Vietnam)
Very nice machine indeed. Very pleasant to use. Some good touches such as interesting screen savers. A wonderful dictionary and related features (for a non-native English reader like me). Good software: the software has hung only once on me after 1 month use. The wireless feature is an excellent idea, making browsing and buying very convenient.
Great battery life! Electronics should be made this way: you remember charging it, before it runs out. Particularly for a book (or reader), you don't want to find some reading time but find your book dead. You would not want to read it with a cord round your neck in your bed!
But it is slow, sometimes agonisingly so.
Also, keys are not up to par, not feeling tactile, if not a bit squeaky. Its clicking sound is a bit noisy during the night, enough to wake my wife up! The 5-way key is not up to the standard---perhaps so bad that you do not find some thing as bad in any other mainstream products such as branded phones, MP3 players, etc. Even though you only need to use 2-3 keys often (next page, prev page, and home), you still hate them all!
Clipping and notes are very limited in features(it does not, for instance, allow links between clippings and the source books.)
 This rocks March 9, 2010

This is awesome. So easy to use and even easier to read. Great if you have slight eye problems. You can make the text as big as you need.

hey there! i really love my kindle. i'm not much of a tech person at all, and i can use this well for a newbie! i'm not intereseted in all the features, as most of them are over my head anyway. BUT i love it for all my books (3500)-to say i love to read is an understatement. i don't care about blogs,newspapers or magizines either, just books! before i'd read like a mad woman,then till my eyes were on fire! now? they are just plain bleeding!!LOL i love my kindle!!
the only thing i don't like (or i have just not figured out)is how i power down or look in the home position, and then to go back to reading is i have to scroll to find my book. the book mark is great when i just go to that. i have finished several books and they were in the archive and now they are gone! where did they go? can i get them back?
if anyone has the answer let me know-i like keeping my books!
i would like to see this on the kindle: books that i have read, that i could put into my kindle. i hate when the covers of books are changed, and i think i've not read it before thinking it's a new book!! ARRRG!
but, i'm learning too,and i love the kindle dx-it's like a cadaliac with a jacuzzi in the back!!
thank you,
