The Kindle DX  was in trouble for a while when the Apple iPad came to market but recent upgrades and a sizeable price decrease to $379.00 US has put it back in the game.

As before the Kindle DX is a large-screen e-book reader with an improved, higher contrast e-ink screen with a large library of 350,000 plus  e-books, newspapers, and blogs via Amazon's online store. Other features include free 3G wireless access; it can store up to 3,500 books in memory;  battery life that lasts up to a month and it displays image files, PDFs in eight different fonts as well as plays MP3 and AAC audio.

The Kindle DX is much less expensive than last Christmas but is only $119.00 less than the entry level iPad (which does almost as much as a netbook computer).
You can't remove or replace the battery and the size is heavier than most other e-Readers. 

The size is much more friendly for newspaper readers and I think some students will prefer to study their math and science problems on the larger screen. The bulkier dimensions make it less comfortable for travelling on the go.

As in previous reviews  I did last year, the Kindle DX is mainly for hardcore users who want to use it everyday and on the go. The extra battery life and the e-ink display makes the Kindle DX a winner over any competitor tablet. It's easier to read in bright sunlight as compared to a LCD screen and will last weeks on a single charge vs  a few hours that an iPad can give you.

If I had to go on a week long trip and wanted to read on the plane, in the car or even inside a tent or hotel room, I'd pack the DX instead of the iPad. If I wanted to read a full book or daily newspapers while commuting to work, I'd still choose the DX again.  For casual magazine reading and fun computer use at home, the iPad is far superior due to all it's extra features.

So if you want to spend hours of reading on the largest e-Reader you can find, the Kindle DX is the way to go.

What an improvement on the old Kindle 2 - the latest version is much thinner, smalller in width and at a starting price of $149.00 US, much less expensive.

The battery life is three weeks to one month and has Whisper Sync, a 6 inch e-ink display, comes in Wi-Fi or 3G wireless downloading from the Amazon store and more.

I got this review from You Tube which will tell you everything you need to know.

Comic book readers have not embraced digital electronics in the numbers as eBook readers and there is a good reason why. While some do, most people buy books for their entertainment and educational value but are not attached to the book's monetary value. Comic book fans are different. They collect issues religiously and rare editions can be very valuable indeed. Some comic books are not even read but sealed and stored like works of art.

Small wonder why digital comics are not as popular - how do you value an MP4 file or resell it?  But Apple's iPad may be an attractive venue for digital comics publishers and could entice some of the casual comic fans to send some of their hard earned money. Why? iPad & other tablet PCs are more portable & simulate reading comic books better than desktop, laptop & even netbook computers. Watch the video why this could become a hot trend.
