A Portable Ebook Reader: The Amazon Kindle DX
Amazon Kindle DX: Portable ebook reader
If you haven’t heard, portable ebook readers have allowed thousands of people to do their “fireside” reading without dragging their laptop with them. They allow you to buy ebooks online and read the ebooks anywhere.
The Amazon Kindle DX is the bigger brother of the Amazon Kindle, and is one of the most well known of these electronic ebook readers. Weighing in at just under $490 US dollars, it has several features that make it something worth considering.
Ebook Software Versions Available
You can even get it as ebook software that will run on your PC and Iphone with versions for the Mac and Black Berry on the way.
Some of the highlights are that it’s slim, in fact it’s about as thin as many magazines. It’s also very lightweight, lighter than a typical paperback book.
With 3G Wireless you can download books right from your Kindle DX; no pc, no annual contracts, no monthly fees, and no hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots. You can download the ebooks in around 60 seconds.
The 3G wireless allows you to download electronic books at home and the 9.7″ e-ink screen reads like real paper and it boasts 16 shades of gray for clear text and sharp images.
It also features an auto-rotation screen. This means that when you turn the Kindle DX on it’s side it automatically rotates the screen. This is very useful for looking at charts and graphs.
The long battery life means you can read your 3,500 book collection for days on a single charge.
Easily view PDF ebooks
The Kindle DX can display PDF documents natively, no conversion software needed. This native PDF support allows you to read all of your personal and professional documents on the go.
Do you like books on tape? It even has an experimental Text-to-Speech feature so Kindle can read newspapers, magazines, blogs, and books out loud to you, unless the book’s rights holder made the feature unavailable.
You can even download and read first chapters of books online for free before you decide to buy the book.
Lots of Kindel ebooks available
With over 390,000 online books, plus U.S. and international newspapers, magazines, and blogs you shouldn’t run out of things to read anytime soon.
Electronic Book Prices are quite low. $9.99 for New York Times Best Sellers and New Releases, unless marked otherwise.
