 Love it! 2010-03-10 |
| By KJT (Toronto ON) |
| I wasn't certain how I felt about the lack of "romance" of the electronic book reader; I thought I would miss the typeset, the smell of the pages etc. But for what it is intended to do - this is perfect! You can carry hundreds of books around with no effort. For "classics" of course you'll still buy paper - but for travel and especially for work documents, this is a great tool. The greyscale is very easy on the eyes and the battery lasts for days! |
| NO WAY TO ORGANIZE YOUR DOWNLOADS 2010-03-09 |
| By Teton Reader (J.H., WY) |
I've been satisfied with my Kindle DX as a device for downloading books but there are still features lacking, which is surprising since the DX is a third generation product:
1. There is no way to organize your downloads into categories (folders) such as alphabetical by author, by type mysteries, travel, etc. I read a lot of "beach reads" and tend to forget titles. It would be extremely helpful to be able to organize my books on a virtual shelf or piles so I could quickly check to see if I previously read a particular title. This is a big drawback as I add more books. I can't imagine what happens if you sign up for a daily paper. How do you find your books in a pile of daily papers?
2. There is little quality control over Kindle accessories sold on the Amazon website. I bought an M-EDGE cover for my DX. It looked great but it's designed so the elastic band in the upper right corner permanently depresses the volume key also in the upper right corner. This is just poor design and annoying to have to return when the defect is so obvious.
3. To date I have found no night lights that work well. They either put out too much light and light up the whole room or don't illuminate the whole page.
The last two criticisms are annoyances but the first is a big thing that will get worse as you make more downloads. |
| Kindle DX 2010-03-09 |
| By Debbie Philley (Grenada, MS USA) |
Have not been happy with this item. Downloaded Bible and it is not fun going from one book of Bible to other, or chapters, verses, etc. Wish the screen itself had some light on it. It is not easy dealing with light attachment. Wish you had page numbers, not percent down at the bottom of screen. Downloaded New Yorker magazine. It only had articles, I wanted to see it in magazine form. I wanted to see what was going on in New York, like new shows, etc.
I do like the ease in downloading books. That is really simple.

| Good impression, good experience, but lots are wanting 2010-03-09 |
| By Ngo Tran Cong Luan (Vietnam) |
Very nice machine indeed. Very pleasant to use. Some good touches such as interesting screen savers. A wonderful dictionary and related features (for a non-native English reader like me). Good software: the software has hung only once on me after 1 month use. The wireless feature is an excellent idea, making browsing and buying very convenient.
Great battery life! Electronics should be made this way: you remember charging it, before it runs out. Particularly for a book (or reader), you don't want to find some reading time but find your book dead. You would not want to read it with a cord round your neck in your bed!
But it is slow, sometimes agonisingly so.
Also, keys are not up to par, not feeling tactile, if not a bit squeaky. Its clicking sound is a bit noisy during the night, enough to wake my wife up! The 5-way key is not up to the standard---perhaps so bad that you do not find some thing as bad in any other mainstream products such as branded phones, MP3 players, etc. Even though you only need to use 2-3 keys often (next page, prev page, and home), you still hate them all!
Clipping and notes are very limited in features(it does not, for instance, allow links between clippings and the source books.) |
| This rocks 2010-03-09 |
| By N. Middlemiss (Australia) |
| This is awesome. So easy to use and even easier to read. Great if you have slight eye problems. You can make the text as big as you need. |
