you have the best gadget reviews. highlighting the important points. I always know where to stop by.

I'm surprised how many reviewers are not addressing the potential for reading newspapers on the Kindle. I'm currently subscribing to the NY Times for all 7 days at a whopping $58 a month. I see the Kindle edition of the Times is $9.99/month. At those prices the Kindle DX pays for its self in about a year. From that point of view you can make a good case the $489 price is justified.

I would appreciate anyone addressing the pros and cons between print news and Kindle news.

I don't see how the kindle pays for it self if you have to pay twice in the long run when you are done

I just bought kindle 2, I dont think that a larger screen that pivots when you turn it, and pdf conversion is really worth the 500 dollars it costs. Im a gadget kind of girl, and the kindle 2 is perfect just the way it is, though, you're right, it does need a touch screen and track ball.

Your might be able to make up the difference if it supports college text books.

I am the proud owner of a Kindle 2 'global edition' and I did seriously toy with the thought of getting a DX. However, at $489 I can't justify getting one, especially now that for a mere 10 bucks more, one can get an ipad. Granted the ipad will not take the place of an ereader, the ipad offers more bang for the buck as far as features go. IMHO I see the price of the DX coming down now that the ipad is out.

I wanted to buy kindle DX but will wait first on the launching of kindle3 as it might be better than kindle dx as there's not much difference between kindle 2 and the dx excepth the size...

Snooks are slightly dumb, very overpriced. Do I really need to carry 3,500 books at one time that I can't even pass on? I coul buy 40 or 50 books for the same price, and share them. I really wish so muc technology was not in this gemeration, it's really ruining things.

I got a DX too but the pdf feature that they are advertising is just crap. The pdf works on DX just like a set of pictures. You can't use the table of contents to navigate, can't highlight or comment on it. You would rather convert your pdf files into pics and watch it on your digital picture viewer. At least then it will have colors!

i think as far as books go, the kindle's are definitely going to shine above the ipad. as far as everything else goes, the ipad is going to win the day. it is such a gorgeous piece of technology...although the ipad has got iBooks, they are not comparable to the reading experience from the kindles.

my personal opinion

[raskarl]

dx is very nice. but i chose to go for the smaller kindle 2 mainly because of portability and general aesthetics. it's definitely the e-reader for choice for me,all the other e book readers that you can buy in the uk are much more expensive and don't work with macbooks. the kindle 2 is cheaper and much more suited to my needs. i can't wait for it to arrive!!!
