If you check out the huge number of Amazon Amazon Kindle DX Review available on the internet, you will find a mixed bag. While the DX has received mostly positive reviews, it is impossible to please everyone and many people  have some complaints. Many problems people have with the DX are personal issues such as the 12 hour battery not being enough to keep up with their travel- intensive job. But for the vast majority of people, 12 hours is plenty time to read for one day. In order to decide if the Kindle DX is the right handheld ebook reader for you, you have to break down the pros and cons.

List down the advantages of the DX and you’ll find yourself with a rather long list. The hype surrounding it during its release had some basis after all. First, the Kindle DX sports a huge screen with an auto-rotate feature, and natively supports PDF documents. All these make for a great device for reading newspapers, illustration-heavy books, tables, charts, and maps. Its 4GB of hard drive is large enough for your entire library and then some. The DX also has the sleek design of the Kindle 2 but with a much improved look and feel, and better placement of buttons.

The Kindle DX still has to deal with some issues though, some of which are not found on the device itself. One big complaint users have is the use of Digital Rights Management (DRM) which Amazon has chosen to implement with the DX. Although widely-used before, DRM is now somewhat an outdated method of protecting material, yet it limits the documents that you are able to access on your Kindle. Users find that many of their files will not work with the DX and so one would be forced to buy most reading content from Amazon.

There are also complaints about the organizational abilities, or lack thereof, with the DX. If you have a huge library, your options for sorting and managing  your files are limited, making your library hard to navigate. As always, the price must be discussed. The DX is a luxury that many readers just cannot  afford, costing nearly as much as a small laptop.

All that taken into account, it’s time to take a step back and consider if the Kindle DX is worth having. True, it is one of the most pricey gadgets around given the fact that it’s more of a hobby gadget than necessity, but the features that also come with it as an ebook reading device certainly can’t be easily dismissed. It may have its share of flaws which are quite off-putting for some, but these flaws do not affect 100% of buyers. The bottom line is, the Kindle DX may not be for everyone just yet, but for most of those privileged to own one, their purchase was worth the price.

Anyone who owns or is thinking of buying a Kindle 2 has no doubt heard of the recent launch of the Kindle DX. If you are the former, this could be a great time to upgrade and if you are the latter, it could be a tough decision you have to make. When you are looking to spend the kind of money the Kindle costs, you don’t want to leap without looking. But if you do your research beforehand, you can be assured you will get the model that works best for you. And this Amazon Kindle DX Review should get you started nicely.

The Kindle 2 is the older of the two units and as such, has slightly less to offer in terms of size and capability. It is a smaller device that measures 8″ x  5.3″ x 0.36″ with a 6″ diagonal screen. At only 10.2 ounces, slightly more than half a pound, it is a perfect handheld ebook reader. And when you bear in mind that its 2GB hard drive can hold roughly 1,500 books, it’s hard to  imagine you would ever find yourself without a good book at your side. The Kindle 2 sells for 259 dollars right now, making it way more affordabe than the Kindle DX.

Now enter the new Kindle DX. So what does it bring to the table besides its high price? For one, it takes reading to a whole new level by its bigger size at 10.4″ x 7.2″ x 0.38″ and an impressive 9.7-inch screen that auto-rotates. Go from portrait to landscape mode by just turning the device in your hand. This makes it a great device for reading newspapers and books that come with illustrations, and looking over charts and maps. With that size though, it also tips the scale at 18.9 ounces, nearly twice that of the Kindle 2.

The Kindle DX has twice the capacity to hold books, boasting of a 4GB hard drive. It can also natively read PDF files which is a huge convenience as the previous models required file conversion. All these features are available at the price of 489 dollars.

Just because the Kindle DX is the newer version doesn’t necessarily mean it is the better one. It may have plenty of features the Kindle 2 doesn’t, but the Kindle 2 has size on its side. The DX works well at home, but the Kindle 2 still wins out in terms of portability. The price difference may be a head-turner as well. While the DX has a lot more to offer, the Kindle 2 is still a great ebook reader and costs quite a bit less. For many people, the Kindle 2 may have all the features they need. It still replaces crumbling old books or the dozen textbooks in your backpack. Whichever one suits you best, you cannot really go wrong with Amazon’s ebook readers.
