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.

In low coverage areas or in 1xRTT only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery power more quickly.

5 Stars I love my Kindle and I look forward to many years of use
I waited and watched other products get launched but in the end, I decided that the 2 most important features were available with the Kindle.

(1) Screen size: I wanted the largest screen possible since I wanted to use the ereader for reviewing PDF documents as well as books.

(2) Native PDF document capability: I am happy that this was added to the DX.

I bought mine after the Nook was announced, I had hoped that a more competitive product would be released. I am fond of Amazon for shopping in general so it would have been a bit challenging to get me to switch over to B&N for books.

Features and items that I’d like to see in the future are:

(a)More text books and academic books. I wish that I had the Kindle while in business school and that the text books were available as eBooks. Even though, I am done now, I like to reference and review things that would be easier to do if the books were available as eBooks. And I would love to trade the the text books in for eBook versions.

(b)Expansion of websites that I can navigate to in order to review my PDF documents.

(c) (Not possible in the current version but) speed up the processor so reading and replying to email is reasonable to do on the Kindle (Why not, there is a screen and a keyboard.)

(d) A future eReader that is child proof so that I can give one to each of my nephews in order to get them started with reading books and so that I can give them books throughout the year.

5 Stars FANTASTIC!!!
Is ALL that I hoped it would be. SO! easy to use! So! easy to get books… and SO! many free books!!

3 Stars Kindel DX Great for Books; Not for PDF in color!!!
I am really enjoying the capability of having the Kindle for downloading books; however, it is not as effective as I thought it would be. As a student I thought this would be a great tool for research projects where PDF’s and articles could be reviewed at anytime, any place. The Kindle does allow you to download PDFs, but it does not allow you to change the size of the font for reading purposes and if the PDF is in color….forget about reading it..quality is lacking in this area. I am disappointed in this feature. I would also love to have the capability of sorting the downloaded information; possibly setting up a file for books in one area, PDF’s in another…maybe I’m missing something, everything goes into the document file and you have to go through your entire index to find what you want, this will be a nightmare as I continue to add items.

5 Stars Enjoy reading!
My grandmother bought my first novel and opened my eyes to the joy of reading. The biggest problem has been storage space for all of my books. I have started to pick out volumns of my lesser liked authors and donate them to my local library. Another thought is the money that I have spent through the years. My Kindle DX is the “cat’s meow”. Storage is no longer a problem and the price for books insures great savings. The quality of reading a novel on a “Kindle” has not lessened because of not having a hardbound, colorful jacketed book in hand. I enjoy the built in features that make using the “Kindle” so easy.

The first one that I saw was being used by a gentleman in a waiting room. I asked him about it and he explained it with great pleasure. I was able to use some coupons from my bank which allowed me to upgrade to the DX model. I am happy that I did and I would not hesitate to purchase one again with or without savings coupons.

My daughters love to read and this will be a great gift for them.

Thank you very much for bringing the joy of reading to the 21st century.

As advertised-great product, especially for anyone who is in seevral different places in a day. I also travel among 3 locations, so bringing reading material has always been a challenge, whether it be professional or personal reading.

Kindle Wireless Reading Device 6 Display U S Wireless

At 10.2 ounces, Kindle is lighter than a typical paperback and as thin as most magazines. Barely a third of an inch in profile, you’ll find Kindle fits perfectly in your hands. Kindle is as easy to hold and use as a book. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle’s page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably with one hand from any position. The page-turn buttons now flex inward to prevent any accidental page turns when picking up or handling Kindle. Kindle has a new easy-to-use 5-way controller, enabling precise on-screen navigation for selecting text to highlight or looking up words. Kindle is completely wireless and ready to use right out of the box–no setup, no cables, no computer required. With Kindle’s 25% longer 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. Whispernet utilizes Amazon’s optimized technology plus Sprint’s national high-speed (3G) data network to enable you to wirelessly search, discover, and download content on the go. Your books and periodicals are delivered via Whispernet in less than 60 seconds. And unlike WiFi, you never have to hunt for a hotspot.

5 Stars Great device for avid readers
It works as intended. The text-to-speech option could be better. Check out the videos/reviews for more detail.

5 Stars Very pleased
So far I an very pleased with my new kindle. As far the people who say the pages are not “white” enough…no it is a grayish color in the background…..but so are my books. I don’ have any problems reading from it at all. I think it is easier than reading a paper book. When the light is not as good or my eyes are tired, I just increase the size of the font and voil
