Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The dx is the best reader out there. It is very good for reading pdf if you don't need a quick pagination. Keep the button key board at the bottom - love the tactile *. Love, love, love this device!

I love the screen size (the size of a real book page) and i don't care that it doesn't fit in my purse or coat pocket. I love how slim it is and how easily it fits in bags and backpacks.



Cons

Battery is 1/2 depleted after 3 weeks w/o wireless on. And it does not work; it's defective. Once it's cracked, the whole kindle dx becomes a piece of junk.

Pricing for non 3g should be dropped; same price as a dsi without the colors, touch screen, gaming processes etc.

Never use it to read any scientific paper with graphs. Pdf viewing not acceptable.

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

    I have had to replace both batteries and both screens using online instructions and elements from ebay and took the precaution of buying an extra pair of both so i could do it again if necessary

    Replacement was not difficult though the screen requires gentle handling
