If you’re looking for something cheaper, the DX is definitely not for you. The Kindle DX is $489, but the only major advantage it has over the regular Kindle is the screen is, which is only 6″ but $230 cheaper.
No. Just black and white.
When you’re reading a magazine does it have colors?? =(
@BlankMessageTV I agree, the Ipad and Kindle are 2 very different devices for different purposes. Kindle is best at reading simple text, replacing lots of voluminous books with a long battery life. That’s what it does. The Ipad is for sitting casually on a couch reading RSS feeds or watching a movie/TV show. We’re so used to new stuff combining everything it possibly can, but that’s not necessarily optimal. I see no reason people wouldn’t have both this and an Ipad.
not when u can potentially carry upto 3000 of them. Im looking it up now and this paticular one seems to be around 600$ its hard to understand why it costs so much and why you would buy one for that price.
all you APPLE fan boys SHUT THE FUCK UP this isnt a jumbo ipod SO SHUT IT this is meant FOR READING… NOT FOR MYSPACE
You are mature, leafy trees.
BIG WOW, longer battery life is gonna me make buy the Kindle (that’s only an eBook reader) over the iPad that does mostly everything and does them well. Go and buy your OVERPRICED Kindle toy.
Yeah but Kindle was specially made for reading and its a much better reading device than the tackon one for the ipad. The battery life on the kindle last for days unlike the ipad
Wouldn’t a book be more easier to carry round?
IMO, the kindle is a great idea, but the ipad is just a really big itouch, which is gay. ipad does more though…
@RonnieLeeDuck Try reading a magazine or a text book in black white. Then take away the app store, itunes, storage, and give it a clunky ui and why would anyone want one.
Why? Based on what I’ve read and heard about the ipad, it would be more worthwhile to spend the money on the combination of an I phone and a Kindle. Strictly as an e-reader I don’t see the i pad beating the Kindle from what I have heard. The readability of E-Ink technology is big for me.
@RonnieLeeDuck Buy an ipad. It’s only sixty dollars more
Whyyyy did he have to search the twilight books. D:
Dear lord.
No, the screen can’t be animated. E-ink is too slow for that. So the page flashes when changed and thats it. No animations.
no color?!
Anyone have advice on what my price expectation should be for a DX? I’m interested in it mainly for reading news at a low price. You could argue that the cost savings on a NY Times subsc. could pay for the Kindle on a little over a year. Seen that way the price seems reasonable. But conversely there is just the plain fact that it seem spendy and a lot of reviews seem to confirm that. I want one but I’m patient too.
Should and will the price of a DX come down?
Goodnight sweet prince.
10 more $ you can get Apple iPad.
apple fanboy much?
iPad ftw – DX is just ugly!
i dont know if this question seems dumb or not
but a question
the kindle or some other ebook reader does they have an option 2 choose how the text should appear i mean like from below 2 the top the slowly up driving text know what i mean
is there an option like this ?
@mcharpi1 So much fail in that sentence
why would you want a touch screen to get finger prints on it ….
