Pros & Cons
Pros
If you don't mind a 1 second page turn and the flash (inverse/redraw), this is still a great device for large text. Keep the button key board at the bottom - love the tactile *.
For reading books, it beats my ipad pro on eye/reading comfort and travel connectivity. It is much more rugged and useful than other readers and even small tablets. E-ink technology is a lifesaver.
Cons
The kindle dx is a great device, but the screen is terrible. It is difficult to zoom and view different areas of a page. Amazon has stopped supporting this to the point that it will not connect to your amazon account! I have one that is several years ... Read More
Highlights
Quality
The size lack of glare and reliability has made it one of the best purchases i have ever made for myself
Love the screen ease of font size adjustment and very long battery life
It’s not a perfect machine doesn’t have a frontlight it’s slower and yes it’s older
0 plus and have used several other readers and kindle models but i know it will be a sad day for me when my trusty old dx finally dies
Price
Which thanks to low print numbers and publisher green results in books over 300 i will never pick up
I wish youd update the software even for a fee
So i guess i can say for the money i love it
Willing to pay a lot for a 2nd dx for my wife
Competitiveness
In 2011 kindle and kindle like devices were more or less an afterthought for publishers not a main target audience
Ps the demand for a dx seems likely eventually that another company will build something akin to dx and get around copyright laws
Some other companies like sony still make eink based readers with big screen and good performance
