I don’t see how this device will be anything more than the latest overpriced gadget.

Of course you still need to pay more most of your downloads also.

In case nobody remembers, books are still free at the library.

I’ll be curious to see how the Kindles physically hold up over time. Laptops can take a beating in the hustle of everyday life. If a Kindle experiences similar wear, will people look to replace it or go back to paper.

If Amazon could bring the native PDF reading to the Kindle 2, I would probably agree that the larger DX model doesn’t bring much to the table. However, I think, aside from the larger format, the ability to self-load PDF documents without needing to go through Amazon’s email service is the key feature.

I am about to take a job where I’ll need literally hundreds of government-published regulations and guidance documents available. I will also be train commuting. Being able to have these handy and readable on the train makes the extra cost and size well worth it.

I’m sure the Kindle 2 is more than sufficient for the avid, recreational reader. The DX, however brings a few things to the table for academic or professional users that the Kindle 2 missed.

I thought this might make a good “large print” book reader for my mom. Attempting to do larger fonts on the smaller Kindle is pretty much a joke, as you can then only see a paragraph or so at a time.

Here, at least, a “large font” page would at least be a page.
