Kindle DX: Bigger, Greener Gadget

Kindle has been a truly revolutionary device. It makes it easy to read books while you are on the go without having to carry around thousands of books with you. The E-ink technology used on Kindle makes reading books much more convenient. It’s as if you are reading a paper book. Kindle DX is the bigger, more powerful Amazon Kindle that comes with a 9.7″ screen and provides native support for PDF. A lot of Kindle critics have complained about Amazon not providing native support for PDF. That has all changed with Kindle DX. And the large screen now helps you go through all kinds of documents without having to push the “next page” button on your device.

Amazon is mainly targeting college students with Kindle DX. The bigger screen makes it easy for students to read their textbooks on this device. You also get free wireless with your device that helps you connect with Wikipedia and other online research sites to get your work done. You get access to 275,000+ books on the kindle store, which you can buy and receive in less than 30 seconds. And if you have an iPhone, you can sync it with your Kindle DX via Whispersyncc.

Kindle DX is a decent improvement over the previous generation Kindle. The screen is bigger but the device is not that much heavier. The battery lasts you 2 weeks (without wireless). Best of all, Kindle books are mostly sold for $9.99 each. That means your device will pay for itself in a few months. Investing in an e-book reader such as Kindle DX not only will save you money in the long run and help you carry thousands of documents with you without too much trouble, it also helps save the planet as well. Kindle DX is another great addition to the family of green gadgets on the market.
