Kindle DX can be considered as an eBook reader with the least power consumption among other eBook readers currently in market.

It has 50% more contrast ratio and that is why, images and text looks even brighter, clearer and without a doubt, crispier.

Images are sharper than before and for people who had some sort of difficulty while reading from previous Kindle version; this comes as a nice eye-treat.

At this time, Kindle DX still supports 16 shades of gray that is very nice but E Ink is improving the display technology for additional support. There is always room for some improvement, isn’t there?

If you are reading a story that is particularly created with pictures then you might want to scroll as less as possible. You can always Zoom-out to fit a significantly large image but that is not what you would really want.

Picture stories look best when every picture is at its 100% zoom level. No more and no less. This 9.7? display of Kindle DX assures that we will enjoy picture stories more than ever.

Apart from picture stories, a large display also helps us to work easily. Many of my friends use their Kindle version to perform research, compile and submit online data.

A large display helps them (and would certainly help you) to read and take reference quickly. However, they used to do it with a 6? display (other kindle versions). How would they feel now? I asked from my friend Ajit about the same question and he said, ‘It’d we awesome. No more scrolling down Wikipedia articles for my researches.’

Left hand users would probably curse Amazon for putting all the navigation buttons on the right side, like, there is ‘Home’, ‘Previous Page’, ‘Next Page’, ‘Menu’ and ‘Back’ buttons with a 5-way navigation joystick. But hang on, there is no need to curse anyone! Kindle DX has so much to offer with some amazing new features, can you not adjust your hands a bit? You know, scientist always say, you should try different movements of your body to enhance your brain’s alertness. May be that is what came in Amazon’s mind. It is just a playful thought that came out of nowhere.

Kindle DX is the slimmest digital reader with respect to display size and it is great for people who like to read Kindle on a morning walk or particularly in one hand.

Now, I work with PDF documents a lot and a Native PDF support is just what I was looking for. This is something that came quite a while after Kindle 2 was released. I am sure that it has become better than it was in Kindle 2.

However, there are still two features missing that I am sure you will also miss as much as I do. They are ‘adding annotations’ and ‘read-to-me’ features.

I will still not be able to add notes to my PDF documents for a later review or something I would like to remember. I feel the same for the lack of ‘read-to-me’ feature.

However, you know, there is always a positive aspect. We can convert PDF to kindle format so that it can reflow and then we can take advantage of both features.

Now we will be able to hold up to 3,500 eBooks in spite of 1,500 eBooks in previous Kindle versions. 1500 eBooks are still fine for me because I read books and transfer them to my computer if I don’t to read them for a long time (and I mean really long time) and I keep only those eBooks which are worth reading and are interesting and I tend to read them more often than others.

However, tell you what! Jake (my online friend) is a major bookworm (in a good way of course) and he likes to chew down every single page of the book that he read. No that is not the thing I wanted to tell you! He reads so many books on his kindle 2 (already had thousands) that he looks like some kind of book monster. No offense friends, for those who love to read books are considered pretty calm and informative with respective to others.

So, at last, what is the verdict? I do not know about you but I totally love this device and Kindle DX will make its way in the list of top 5 gadgets I own.
