Read e-ink with a slim shape with excellent connectivity to many choices of books and subscriptions.
DX is not a clear upgrade for me, but feature a larger screen, and native PDF reader.
Larger screen is a plus for sure. using a larger type size, and the type I get a text this size is far more per page in DX. This makes the overall reading experience is more similar.
The screen is also much sharper and more crisp than the Kindle 2 in the comparison side-by-side: the text is darker, and contrast is better, so for better visibility overall.
On a side note, the larger screen also makes it possible to read a poem about the lighting, even at large sizes. At the turn earlier, smaller screen cut off, so you'll lose flavor when the poet ends of lines. On DX, you can see the entire line exactly as the poet who really mean it, with a cut-off in the right place.
PDF reader works as advertised, and very comfortable. PDF document appeared in the DX just like they do on the computer screen. In addition, you can drag and drop your documents directly to the device using a USB cable (or use a for-fee email-if you really must)
Rotate the screen also works as advertised: it operates as a lightweight zoom in both graphics and text and slightly offset the bad side can not adapt type size on PDF documents. One touch of good design: four-way navigation stick is introduced in the Kindle 2 is a rotation-sensitive, and will move as expected relative to the rotation of the screen.
More than a space devoted to the display device, while the white plastic border around the screen seems to have been shrinking, both in general and compared with the proportion of the screen to the plastic in the Kindle 2.
Storage: I like to increase storage space, and do not mind the lack of external storage card. I can see some people having trouble with this, but only the good people) regularly have to carry around a PDF document with a total of more than 3.5 GB of space or b) must have nearly 3500 books on a regular basis at their fingertips. I fall into both categories.
Weight: DX heavier, feels so. You regularly use a switch with one hand. . . and even so, it can still be done.
Keyboard: keyboard has four rows, and not five: the top row of numbers 1 and 2 of Kindle have been merged into the qwerty row above, so the numbers are now only accessible with alt-key combination. Thin vertical button too, so that the whole keyboard not more than 1 "high (compared with over 1.5" on the Kindle 2). At the same time, the button itself a little easier to press, a little more prominent than in the Kindle 2. For people with large fingers, this keyboard will be somewhat difficult to use, but only slightly.
Overall, DX feels more like a text and less like tools and more closely with the stated goal of the Kindle: for the device disappears, leaving only the joy of reading.
