Amazon.com’s Kindle DX

Amazon’s latest Kindle model, the Kindle DX, ships today for a flat price of $489. The biggest differences between the DX and the Kindle 2 are the larger 9.7″ diagonal screen, a native PDF reader, and the larger 3.3GB storage (roughly 3500 books).

Another new feature is auto-rotate which is pretty nice for formats like newspapers or pages with landscape diagrams, although it is a bit slow to transition from one to the other. The 9.7-inch screen is a 1200×824 pixel resolution at 150dpi. The DX weighs just over 1lb (19 oz total).

While the price tag may seem high, remember that you get free lifetime wireless access on the 3G Sprint network, so no searching for a WiFi hotspot.

Kindle me a Book: Amazon’s e-Reader

Amazon’s new reading device allows users to download books and read them on their device without the use of network cables. Claimed to be the future of reading, it holds an electronic-paper display which provides a sharp, high-resolution screen that looks and reads like real paper.

The wireless connection allows customers to shop the Amazon Kindle store directly from practically anywhere to access a content database of over 145,000 books, including more than 98 of the New York Times Best Sellers. Customers can also receive free book samples which allow them to download and read the first chapters before deciding to buy the book. Other literature such as newspapers and international papers are also available for viewing through the Kindle, blogs too!

The device weighs about 10.3 ounces and can hold up to 200 titles. The battery life can last up to a day and takes about 2 hours to fully recharge. The phone is also equipped with EVDO (a high-speed data network) which does not require a monthly bill or service plan.

Gimme!
