Nice Review, a friend of mine bought the DX and it’s a well designed device. The kindle DX has a wonderful design, especially the large screen is plus to me. A disadvantage is that the wireless connection is only available for the US and not global, like the kindle 2.

And the price, it’s quite expensive just under $500 if i am right?

By the way I have also found a nice review of the kindle dx

I thought it was worth sharing

I’ve bought a Kindle DX few weeks ago and I’m really impressed with it. It’s wonderful. I love it.

I agree the DX is “big” but it’s not that big…lol. Sure it’s no iPod, Kindle 2, or any other “small” ebook reader but it’s not like you’re lugging around a laptop or anything like that. You do bring up a good point though, and that is if you are looking to have something to carry around with you (i.e. you’re looking for portability), the Amazon Kindle DX probably isn’t the best choice. You’d be better off with the Kindle 2.

This thing is really huge! I mean it’s great that we don’t need to go through hoops anymore just to read a PDF file and I think the auto-rotate feature is kinda cool too, but as far as portability is concerned, I can’t bring it around so much like I did with the Kindle 2 (and I used to read every chance I get). Too bad I already sold my K2 to my brother — and for only a fraction of what I got it for

The Amazon Kindle DX has limited PDF functionality. It doesn’t support comments/annotations at this time. Hopefully Amazon will improve the pdf functionality in future firmware upgrades.

I am a researcher and read a lot of articles in pdf.
Can kindle DX pdf reader allow highlighting an annotation into the pdf files? If yes, can the edited pdf file be saved and read by normal acrobat reader on other platforms?
Thanks in advance

I agree. The DX is overpriced but believe it or not, it sold out not too long ago – and some in the industry predict it may sell out again during the upcoming Christmas season (like what happened with the Kindle last Christmas season). So while I agree it’s a bit steep in price, it’s still in strong demand. I have a feeling, however, that Amazon will lower the price soon as Sony will be releasing their latest ebook readers at lower prices.

The Kindle DX may be a great piece of technology but personally, I think it’s still an overpriced gadget. They’ve already lowered the Kindle 2 price to $299 (which convinced me to get one I must admit) and I wonder how long it will take for Amazon to do the same with the DX. Just thinking out loud here…

There are rumors that the Kindle DX and the Kindle will be available worldwide. When that will actually happen, however, is anyone’s guess. In the meantime, you can definitely manually download to your DX via the USB cable. As for writing on it and then posting to your blog…no, that is not something you can do with it.

Can I write with it (and post the blog on the internet)? (that would be a great feat. if I could type text with it)
