While researching a Kindle DX for Christmas 2009 I was impressed by some great new features. The DX is the state of the art e-book reader that is tremendously popular this Christmas. Remember last year and how the Kindle was the must have yet hard to purchase device. It is starting to look that way for this latest generation version
Let me lead you through these new features in the Kindle DX.
1. Built-In PDF Reader – Users can now use Adobe Reader Mobile Technology for reading their professional and other documents. Documents can be emailed to their Kindle e-mail address or they can be transferred via USB cable. This combined with the larger screen allows complex layouts to be viewed without scrolling or panning.
2. Increased Display Size – Kindle DX has enlarged the display of the earlier version Kindle 2 from 6 inches to an astonishing 9.7 inch display. The image is crisp and clear and you can zoom to a full screen for easier viewing of large documents.
3. More Storage Capacity– An expanded storage memory is another new feature of the Kindle DX for Christmas 2009. With 3.3 GB of memory your device will now hold up to 3,500 books up from 1,500 from the previous version. With 3G wireless network books can now be downloaded almost anywhere in under 60 seconds because Amazon pays for the wireless connectivity. There is no need for a PC, Wi-Fi signal or syncing.
4. Slim Design– Kindle DX is designed to be thinner than most magazines. Picture yourself trying to carry all the physical books you have loaded onto your device. It is ideal in size for traveling.
5. Auto-Rotation Display– The display on the screen will rotate automatically from horizontal to vertical and back depending how it is being held at the time.
6. Kindle Compatible Syncs– Similar to the last generation Kindle. The Kindle DX uses Amazon Whispersync to sync your content from it to a Kindle or Kindle for iPhone. You can move from device to device without losing your spot when reading.
Really the Kindle DX for Christmas 2009 is a nice step up in performance from the predecessors. It has retained all the popular features from the Kindle 2. Maybe you tried last year to get a Kindle and failed. This is the year for you to step up.
