The reader’s appearance is further streamlined by its absence of buttons on the left-hand side of the unit; the controls to turn pages have migrated exclusively to the right side. Even though I’m a righty, and do most of my page turning from that side, I do miss the Kindle 2’s Next page button on the left, which I use when reading in bed, head propped up by my right arm.
The Kindle DX can hold up to 3,500 books, periodicals, and documents. It has a 9.7″ diagonal e-ink screen that reads like real paper and boasts 16 shades of gray for clear text and sharp images. It also has an auto rotating screen, much like Apple iPhone, That enables you to Display auto-rotates from portrait to landscape as you turn the device so you can view full-width maps, graphs, tables, and Web pages. The 3G wireless connection lets you download books right from your Kindle DX, anytime, anywhere; no monthly fees, no annual contracts, and no hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots . With the text-to-speech feature, Kindle DX can read newspapers, magazines, blogs, and books out loud to you, unless the book’s rights holder made the feature unavailable.
Overall, the DX feels more like text and less like device and comes closer to the stated goal of the Kindle: for the device to disappear, leaving only the joy of reading.
