Amazon Kindle DX

[TheLemonLime123]

if it was a touch screen there would be too many fingerprints on it to read it. if it had all the features you were looking for then it would be just another i-pad. and what about the glare???

[Pescaicho]

My hubby recently got it and we absolutely love it! I´m going to get it in white for Christmas! It is excellent to improve your english as well because the voice reads at the same time you´re reading!! It so amazing!!

The fact that they have proven they could delete animal farm and 1984 means they can delete any book they wish off your system.. Which brings one to the very fast conclusion, AVOID THE KINDLE LIKE THE PLAGUE.

[sonofhendrix]

does it cost the earth, can you read it in sunlight, does it have usb so people can put pdfs onto it. why on earth did they make it an internet browser, its a flippen ebook reader stop trying to make it a jack of all trade amazon you pillocks.

[qrpkgrl]

@sonofhendrix first, I made this video over a year ago - at the time there was no iPad, so you have to keep things in context...

Second, I still maintain that the Kindle is not the right device for me, that for the price (at the time) it should have done more than just eBooks, and that backlit color displays are better than eInk - but that's my opinion, and you don't have to agree!

[realisticHomeboy]

eInk does require light, but it is infinitely more comfortable for your eyes. That is what the point is as supposed to a backlit LED display.

[2imma]

nice!

[Twinsmoms]

WOw yo describe the Ipad in the future.. very interesting!!!

[qrpkgrl]

@Twinsmoms I'm good like that.

[tissetatten]

but an amazon the kindle has gotten som bad response. alot of ppl have complaied that the screen has died after 1 year and they havent gotten refund, and that you have to manualy change every page, it doesent skip to the chapter you were last on

[aussiequirkette]

Who reads a book in the dark? Back lights kill your eyes.

[eltony404]

how about text books, i want to use this for school if possible

[MrPlaystationboy]

my teacher has one

[yfdelosreyes]

How good it is to read pdf? I have a lot of pdf books I am wondering if I can them on that...Thank you!

[shippermd]

You know there's a way to turn off the auto-rotate feature so that it doesn't constantly

do that when you're holding and turning it and stuff. Was this global or pre-global version? Are ya still liking it? Still saving my pennies for the DX as my first e-reader! :)

[qrpkgrl]

@shippermd this was a review unit that I only had for 2 weeks. This was the pre-global version.

[shippermd]

@qrpkgrl Oh ok thanks!

[rafaelbezerranona]

Seriously? You don't find e-ink more comfortable? It's good to see that there are people out there who feel this diferently from me. I can't be reading a book on an LCD screen for too long before my eyes go weary, even after tweaking with the luminosity. And e-ink seem much more comfortable.

[axelasdf]

OH MY GOD! YOU CAN'T READ IN THE DARK!

@AlexN1997

It's a joke,　Kindle and iPad is highly competitive, so I knocked. Personally I would want to use the Kindle. So I saw the your video.

[404911]

The kindle is great, but I figure I should just purchase the ipad

[fujikisekix]

to select amazon Kindle,or to select iPad that is question.

[AlexN1997]

@fujikisekix I don't know why man, but I adore you comment... x)

too true ;)

[laudennn]

do you want to read - or do you want to use an iphone

[fujikisekix]

I think the start of the iphone 4G.

[ewigkase1]

question if i printed a web page to pdf would i be able to read this file do to that copyright thing? or some pdfs that are free from the 1800s with no copy right would i be able to read these? if not there is no point in buying this ever ill stick with my homebrewed psp and bookr thanks for your review

[mcbrite]

I don't understand the question, but you CAN view pdf with it...

[lonelyboy323]

no u cant

[piggyporkins]

You have to remember that Amazon is offering /free/ wireless. So, you should expect slow web browsing.

[Thebluepants]

Can you browse the internet with a kindle?

[kafkaholic]

I don't think so. I think you can only read books.

[davomrmac]

Great review, thanks for sharing. Check out my channel for a competition to win a Kindle 2.

[phototristan]

I like the Kindle 2 better. The price is nearly half and the size is much more conducive to reading and taking with you places.

[lokenovez]

Fuck this am getting a ps3.

[98jpr]

Ummm what was the last real book you read that was backlit? Do normal books browse the web? If you want to browse the web, buy a laptop. This is basically just a virtual library. Nothing extrodinary. I still want one though.

[blackfootraw]

I really wanted one of these, but waiting for the kinks to be ironed out.

[wowhornby]

i think the fact that this device is the same price as some netbooks will force amazon to fix the problems you mentioned in your video. thanks for the vid/comment.

[silvershogun]

btw... im getting this as soon as it arrived on the uk market

[OlegDjan77]

I've just seen at Maplin the BeBook eBook Reader, this device able to read all formats, with the Kindle you'll be a slave of a format... but I like the idea of MP3.

[silvershogun]

intresting opinions but compare this and sony's PRS-700 you will understand that backlit and touchscreen capability's both reduce the contrast and increase the reflection, thus making text less clear to read.... the technology of the ink will always leave a big delay on touch and response if u do want to use touch screen

[shrumpkin]

yeah, for the money, all of those other features should be refined.

[snowaier]

really wish you could have like.. used it while we listened to you. was hard to sit and watch the camera bounce around for pretty much no reason hehe.

friendly criticism?

[bryoneill11]

If you want all that buy a laptop!!! yo are missing the purpose of the device

[xawesomexelix]

I guess many new gadgets have an accelerometer. Does this mean that having one will be a standard for a handheld device? Phones, mp3 players, netbooks, e-readers, etc.
