I found the kindle dx a bit dark.I was hoping a much better bright screen to read in dark too. But it came out to be dark. I am thinkign of returning it and try Latest generation. Beacuse for me bright screen is really important. I don't feel comfortable with dull dark screens where i have to look hard to focus on words.
 Just what I needed! September 3, 2010

I have MS & thought my reading days were over until I found the Kindle DX. I tried the smaller Kindle first but in order to adjust the font to a size I could easily read, there wasn't enough room on the screen to constitute a page. The DX is perfect for me in every way! I've read 2 books and feel as though I have a little of my independence again! It is very easy to use and when placed inside a cover it is just like holding a book. I love it!
Very glad I got this September 3, 2010

I had been wanting a Kindle DX for a while and with this new remake I had to finally get it. I am a programmer and read many technical books. The extra screen size in the DX is perfect for technical books. It is bigger/heavier than the regular kindle, but it is not uncomfortable at all, it is still very easy to hold and use. I can't praise enough the clarity of the screen and the quality of the construction.
I've been e-reading for about 12 years on things from Palm pilots to pocket-pc's to phones and computers, but I have never enjoyed reading on a screen as much. The screen on the Kindle is so easy on the eyes and the letters are very well defined.
I'm very happy with my decision to buy this and and am very unhappy with myself for waiting so long to do so.
Best thing since apple pie!!! September 3, 2010

I love my Kindle DX Wireless! As I have a difficult time reading regular size print, I really appreciate the ability to enlarge the type size to accomodate my reading. If one's eye's become tired I am also able to hear the book read. All of the books unfortunetly are not available in speach but there are enough to keep one interested. The 9" size makes it especially comfortable to use the large print size, tho it would be nicer if it were a bit
lighter in wieght. However it's not enough to keep me from carrying it everywhere we go. The price is high as I am a senior citizen on a fixed income but it is very much worth the sacrifice. Food or the Kindle? I'll take the Kindle, it may improve my waistline plus having a great time! Thanks Amazon! Sincerely, Carol M.
 Just a bit a the large side September 2, 2010

I've actually returned this item and went for the smaller version which is to arrive tomorrow. Within a few minutes of holding the kindle dx my wrists were actually hurting. It just was a little too large to make it worthwile for me. Part of the benefit of buying a kindle was its compact size and I just don't believe that the DX contributes to that convenience. It wouldn't fit easily into a purse. I look forward to receiving my kindle and get to reading, whether at the doctors or waiting in the school parking lot to pick up my baby.
