Amazon Kindle DX Review

Size seems to matter to the folks at Amazon. While the Kindle 2 has a 6-inch (measured diagonally) e-ink screen — roughly the area of a mass-market paperback book — the DX’s 9.7-inch screen resembles a page from a typical hardback. Put another way, the DX flaunts 2.5 times more display space. More text on a page means more lines and, if you prefer, a bigger font, without having to turn the page as often. Best of all, the DX was engineered not to feel big. Virtually the same thickness as the Kindle 2, the 19-ounce heft won’t tax your wrists. Its keyboard is actually a little smaller than the Kindle 2’s, so almost all of the DX’s front surface is covered by the screen.

Kindle DX Graphite Review

The Kindle DX Graphite will be a big disappointment for those who predicted (or hoped) the next generation Kindle will feature touch or color screen or video playback capability. For people looking for a device that gives them pleasurable reading experience, however, the Kindle DX Graphite will surely match their expectations. Sporting 50% more contrast and faster page turns than the first generation Kindle DX, the Graphite eReader offers even greater readability. And now with lighter price tag of $379, the Kindle DX Graphite is a solid choice for business people, students, or anyone looking for a large-screened yet ultra portable eReader.

Kindle WiFi Review

After a long wait, the Kindle 3 has finally arrived, not only with one but two versions: a Kindle WiFi and a Kindle WiFi + 3G model.

For those who want a sub-$150 eReader or who have no need for 3G accessibility, the WiFi version is just as formidable as its 3G brother. With its thinner form factor, more ergonomic design, improved readability and even bigger storage, the Kindle WiFi is positioned to out-perform every other eReader out there. And with its incredibly low price of $139, the Kindle WiFi is more enticing than ever.

The KIndle 3

Just when everyone’s thought the only way Amazon can top its Kindle 2 is by adding color and touch, the new Kindle 3 proves us wrong. Like its WiFi-only sibling, the Kindle 3 comes with a more compact form factor and ergonomic button placement, faster page turns, sharper and changeable fonts, bigger memory, improved PDF, better accessibility, up to 1 month battery life, and more. The Kindle 3 is the living proof of Amazon’s unwillingness to compromise great reading experience for anything.

How does the Kindle rock? Let us count the ways:

My Review of the Amazon Kindle

A few weeks ago I decided it was time to buy an Electronic book reader.  I’d briefly seen them in person, but hadn’t had time to really look at or play with either of them.

I started out by reading up a bit on e book readers. Then I found that Amazon’s Kindle rates at the top of them all. So I ordered the Kindle late on a Thursday evening, and decided to take advantage of Amazon’s same-day delivery option, a concept which nearly blew my mind, to have it arrive on Friday.  Sure enough, it arrived at my home Friday afternoon.
