The Wifi Reports Review-Is Kindle DX the Wave of the Future?
The Kindle DX is a great improvement over the previous versions should you be in the market to want to buy the Kindle DX. Amazon has lived up to its promise to deliver a product that gives the reader a book instantaneously onto a lightweight device that can actually be read with a battery that stays charged for days.
The 10-inch screen on the Kindle DX makes for relaxing reading of PDf documents. Business reports and textbooks are are breeze to tackle as formatting is not a problem.
The Kindle Dx can orient its screen vertically or horizontally. This doesn’t do much for e-books, but it makes all the difference if you are reading a PDF. Now if your are trying to browse the web with this device , it will be a hurry and and wait strategy , but that not a real big deal since you will using this for reading.
The kicker in the success of the Kindle DX is in its $490 price tag. Given the current state of the economy, its doubtful that consumers or students will pay this price for an e-book reader, and then have to spend even more on e-books themselves. However, in California, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is planning to bring digital math and science textbooks to California’s secondary schools as early as Fall, 2009.
Secondary education teachers will have 20 free math and science e-books available soon. Schools will decide how to get the content to the kids. Solutions range from CDs to printing. The open source solution could save the State millions.
Price point for the unit is the big caveat.. If this could be lowered, the Kindle DX could be off and running in not time. In the meantime if you really want to buy Kindle DX, start saving some Franklins.
