Amazon Kindle Dx Review

Kindle DX is still seems small. It’s not necessarily things. It is trying to replicate newspapers or textbook, no one wants some funky thing carry with him/her.

The new version of Kindle DX’s screen compile 2 ½ times of Kindle 2.0 It’s 9.7 inch display. This device not looks or feels as huge as a page of copier paper. We can’t feel of reading an entire page of books or newspapers. If you want a paper, you can flip it one by one or by article.


But you never see the big picture - a whole page - which can give you the item you thought you wanted to read, but are attracted in either by placement on the page or image that comes with. The larger the screen should have been able to offer a different experience than the first two versions of the light.


That said text, pictures and drawings re-create the experience of reading a newspaper or a textbook. The photographs are clearer and more defined than those you see on a printed page. Better than what you see on a high-resolution monitor? But if the goal was to reproduce the newspaper reading experience, the Amazon seems to have succeeded.

On a biology textbook, it is very easy to see the details to separate the different phalanges. It is easy to blow the image up, and the resolution is that you do.

The display automatically rotates when you change the direction of light.
The price: $ 489. The company said the ships, this summer. The Amazon.com site has it ready for pre-order. This is where many consumers stumble in May. The device provides a great experience, but there is a $ 500 experience?

Three newspapers - The New York Times, Washington Post and The Boston Globe - will give a reduced price of light in exchange for a long-term subscription. The Times and the Globe will be offered to start this summer in areas where home delivery is not available. No prices for the offer was launched.


Amazon stressed that the light would exchange personal documents, without the user having to look for a wireless hot spot.

Jeff Bezos, Amazon's chief executive, pointed out it is easier to turn the notes by pressing a button. He is right. The light could find a sub-market among musicians.
Also search for words that are easy. You can look up definitions.

"PDF documents look beautiful on this device. You've never been to pan, zoom in you never, you never leaves, you just read the documents," says Jess Bezos CEO Amazon.com. "If you want to go to widescreen mode, just rotate the device."

The device costs about $ 500, but three leading newspapers also announced at the lights DX's debut press conference that some form of subsidy for the device that are willing to lock in a long-term subscription.

While there is cautious optimism, not everyone in the print world is completely convinced that this will provide immediate assistance to the ailing print publications

As editor of PCMag.com, Lance Ulanoff helped to make the decision solely online from PC Magazine in January. He wonders if a paper like the New York Times can attract subscriptions for content that they by and large offer free online.

"Now do you have a digital version on a kind of lights, which perhaps $ 9. Is that too close to the [free] web version for people willing to pay? Maybe," says Ulanoff. "But if not, it's a way of locking people in for $ 9 per Monday This is a business. Can save print? I do not know."

I bought a Kindle 2 and had it for three weeks. I just couldn't wait for the DX. When the DX arived I returned the kindle 2. I am completely satisified with the Kindle DX. I think it is a great piece of engineering technology. see Amazon Kindle DX
