This is Wonderful! The Kindle DX Wireless Review

Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device (9.7" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation)

I absolutely love my Kindle DX which was a Christmas gift from my family. There is one problem: It is so addictive I missed the first week of January, including the birthdays of my grandson and brother-in-law! Ooops!

I'm older and somewhat challenged electronically. I thought it was great when we could stack up 45's or 33's on the record player and have continuous music. Therefore, I would appeciate expanded written instructions so I could utilize more of the capabilities of the Kindle. That way, instead of trying to search through the information the Kindle contains, I could just access what applies to my wishes. There is much more here than I will ever use so I would like to be able to find easily what might be of interest to me. Did I miss an easy index to functions?

If you expected a technical review, I guess you realize by now you're not getting it. That's the purview of those who are interested in technicalities. I wanted comfortable reading and easy access to books without constant trips to the Thrift Store to donate those I had finished and had no room for. I'm going back and reading the classics I haven't read since high school as well as keeping up with the latest bestsellers.

The screen is so clear, it's just like reading a page in a book and it's easy to check back a page or two if I've missed a pertinent reference.

If the rains wash California away, I'll take my dog, my baby grand and my Kindle. I trust my husband to save himself!

Kindle DX Global Wireless: My First Kindle Review

Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device (9.7" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation)

I just received my Kindle DX and I am in love. I read a lot of the reviews that had negative things to say about this product but I just don't see it as anything but wonderful. I love to read and the DX's ability to hold 3500 books is a real wow for me. I also have been wanting to go back and reread some of the old science fiction authors I loved as a kid. The ability to buy the complete works of the older authors for a dollar or less is great. I also don't have to look all over the place to find them and they don't take up any physical space in my home. I may find some negative things to say later on but for now, I am very happy with my new tool. My only complaint for now is the price. OUCH.

Illegal imitations of the e-book reader "Kindle" on the Internet

Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device (9.7" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation)

OpSec Security, Inc., a company that is world renowned experts in various offices on the fight against counterfeiting and brand protection, in a recent study shows the example of the e-book reader Kindle and the DX model of Amazon alarming results in the formation of counterfeiting and gray market trading in connection with the global launch of a new product.

Moreover, were on commercial and auction portals are offered cheap imitations of Kindle devices in colors and languages that are not sold by Amazon. As the investigation showed furthermore, gave consumers tips on Internet forums to circumvent the restriction on sales of Amazon on the United States and the use of packet forwarding services. In the period from June to September was among the eBay auctions nearly tripled in properties of Kindle devices (models 1, 2 and DX) reported, while the suppliers often campaigned with delivery outside the U.S..

The introduction of an electronic market in the long-awaited product, such as the Kindle-DX provides a device manufacturer who wants to retain control over the distribution chain in the global market for a difficult task. Thus, for example, a seller offered 2500 e-book reader Kindle version 2 per week at a unit price of 65 dollars, far below the list price of 299 U.S. dollars.

From 33 Kindle offerings that were listed at the time of introduction of the DX model on sales portals for dealers, 75 percent came from Indonesia and China. Quickly emerged from a gray market dealers auction, which sold the Kindle DX at a premium and served the demand in regions where Amazon did not dispel the product. Within four months of the launch had been offered the number of Kindle units (all models) on eBay from 1776 nearly tripled to 5092 pieces. The number of offered Kindle-DX devices even tenfold. In addition, black and Japanese-speaking Kindle-discovered imitations that are not available, both from Amazon.

"These findings from the investigation of OpSec demonstrate the need for monitoring of e-commerce platforms to the appearance of gray and black market to discover products in the distribution chain," reads a press release.

The growing importance of the Internet as a global marketplace and international user community has the consequence that the sales launch of new electronic products will be accompanied in future by the rapid emergence of a market for gray imports and counterfeit goods. The link between the market of e-commerce platforms and social media company able to respond more quickly and more effectively to the threat posed by counterfeiting and gray imports in the global supply chain.

So the Kindle DX machine already starts on the date of sale offered on a large corporate portal from a company based in China and offer a choice of eight records on a popular sales portal for dealers showed an estimated number of 40,000 Kindle devices that within a few were available weeks after the DX market, says the latest study by the Boston company.

The "Kindle" Large size worldwide costs $ 489 (340 euros), while its smaller version costs about half.

"It's our most popular product and given away," said a spokesman, however, declined to disclose how many devices Amazon has sold this type to date.

The American company managed to increase their profits in the past semesters, but not only through the electronic reader. However, this source of income could be threatened if, as stated several media, Apple introduced this month a reader device itself and takes it out to the market in March.

With a screen between 10 and 11 inch Apple device to provide readers with a reading surface even more than "Kindle DX", but on the other hand the price that get fat.

Observers estimate that the amount could rise to between 700 and 1,000 dollars (between about 490 and 700 euros).

Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device (9.7" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation)

Back in October confirmed that Amazon would sell worldwide, but until the normal Kindle not reached the hands of international buyers can not say it was "international." Now if you want to do with this e-book reader with a screen of 9.7 inches, you can do without fear of not being able to connect wirelessly.

The Kindle DX January 19

The site selling cultural products will offer the wide version of its e-book. It will land in France January 19 and will be compatible with 3G + / 3G/EDGE/GPRS of France

EBook With The Handbrake

There is much confusion, under the sky of the eBook. Amazon will churn out a few days on the international market the elder brother of Kindle. Kindle Dx is larger and equipped and will cost $ 489. Read books with this reader should be a pleasant experience and performance, thanks to the application for the native PDF format. So in 2010 the eBook will put long pants? Pass from childhood to adolescence? We will have to wait for Plastic Logic, for maturity?

Anyway, Amazon believes it. Besides a few days ago he announced emphatically overtaking sales of digital books than paper. Prudence and conditional, however, does not break down. To cool the enthusiasm there is the problem of compatibility, which - for the Italians - it is added that of language. Few, very few titles available.

Each producer of eReader pull the handbrake of a proprietary format, or Digital Rights Management (DRM). The books purchased from Amazon can only be read with the Kindle, which - in turn - does not read eBooks purchased elsewhere. Sure, you can always crack the device, but at your own risk.

Editions Google promises wonders. The Mountain View giant has formed an alliance with Sony to make available to users of its reader books scanned by Google Book Search. "We gave Sony a million books in the public domain for their eReader - said recently, Santiago de la Mora, head of Google Books for Europe - We have done the same with Barnes and Nobles and, more recently, Coolerbooks.com. We want to make available the largest number of books to as many people in as many languages as possible. "

The editors, you know, from this ear want to hear. From the users - if you exclude projects Google Editions - nobody does not take sides. Who cares if a Bibliomania is interested in a title that is sold in digital format only on Amazon. But he, the user has purchased another player ... or vice versa. The war of standards and proprietary formats has not led to good music and movies, but it seems that you do not want to draw lessons from the recent past. With one exception. The International Digital Publishing Forum is pushing for the open standard. EPUB.

E 'a format used to play digital texts and whole books. EPUB Each is composed of 3 files: the first contains the formatting information of the content (XHTML), the second describes the structure (through an XML) and the third is simply a ZIP archive that contains the first two. There are those who work there already, even in Italy.

WorldWide Sales Start For Kindle DX

Worldwide sales start for Kindle DX

The biggest e-book reader from 19 Available January

The Internet retailer Amazon is expanding its range of readers for electronic books.

The larger e-book reader Kindle will DX, 19 January to be available worldwide, Amazon announced on Wednesday. There will still maintain initially only offered English-language books.

U.S. price is 340 euros

Unlike the Kindle 2, since 19 Last October, available worldwide through the U.S. website of the online retailer, including being priced UMTS access is, was the greater Kindle DX have so far only in the United States.

The last summer presented Kindle DX has a 9.7 in. (24.6 cm) wide screen, and cost in the United States last $ 489 (340 euros).

Amazon Is Huge E-Book Before

Amazon e-book reader received tremendous increase: The Kindle DX online shipper presents a model that outperforms its predecessors and competitors in every way - also with regard to price.

Bigger is better? And if so, how much? Amazon's Kindle DX is certainly much larger than the others and should provide ample material for discussion among lovers of electronic reading. For while the previous models, at least not in coat and jacket pockets could be accommodated, is the DX model for much too large: Almost on DIN A4 format, it brings the new reader.

Thus, the Kindle is advancing a new dimension not only in size but also the price reached new heights. The device will cost $ 489 on Amazon's Web site. They are $ 13 extra for each additional inch Display, summon the the DX against the Kindle 2nd During the screen a modest 6 inches (15 centimeters measure), it brings his big brother to a superb 9.7 in., that is 25 centimeters.

A color, as was expected by some media, however, it is not been given: The display is monochrome, displays images such as the Kindle 2 16 level. Therefore, the screen demonstrated strong growth of resolution. Instead of 800 x 600 pixels with its predecessor, it is now x 1200 824 pixels, representing a doubling of the smooth resolution.

Twice as much memory, just as thin as previously

Since it is not surprising that the new Amazon with the slogan "Wireless Reading just got bigger" applies. In the DX looks at first glance like a Kindle 2, the inflated one has. But this impression is deceptive. At least he has not become thicker. Despite the lessons of the new Kindle screen real estate is still only about an inch thick - or rather thin. That could bring stability problems, however, must ultimately sustain the housing now more torsional forces than its predecessor.
