![]() ![]() ![]() My other main annoyance is the keyboard at the bottom. It only takes another second for it to go away, but it's kind of annoying to see that because it's hard to know where exactly your cursor is. I just looks like when a computer lags and things get stuck for a second. When I hold down the directional pad to scroll down the screen, the cursor will appear on every line between where I began and where I end my scrolling for a second or two before they clear away to settle where I ended scrolling. So what are the downsides? My only really negative comments are more about minor annoyances that aren't even necessarily function-related. Navigating and organizing my books was very easy, I have had no problems with actually using the device. Reading from it is very comfortable for me-as I said, the screen is just like looking at a book page-and I haven't walked away from it feeling as if my eyes have been strained. So how does my experience break down? The Kindle is very simple to use, I hooked it up to my computer and started uploading books to my Kindle without even consulting the instructions. A friend of mine has the smaller model and it's cool to be able to slip it in your back pocket and go, but the screen is awfully small and I like to feel like I'm reading a page's worth of material per screen (I know, I'm weird). ![]() I also wanted the DX as opposed to the smaller models because I wanted the book-sized display. The Kindle has a very long battery life and the display is just like looking at a page from a book. I also considered t he Nook, because it's color, but ended up deciding on a Kindle because all I really need an ereader for is books and I wanted to keep things simple. So why the Kindle DX? I considered buying an iPad, but couldn't think of any other use that I had for it other than for reading books and comic books on, plus I already have an iPhone. Another lure for an ereader is the reduction in cost of books. I have been tempted to buy an ereader for awhile simply so I can keep the books I read and am interested in reading stored either on the device or my computer and not take up even more shelf space in my house (The bookshelves in my man cave are completely full as it is). So I have now had my Kindle DX in my possession for almost a week since receiving it from my eBay seller. Some issues about not being able to read doc files. Good stuff, slow, but best ebook on market. Good buy, slow delivery though, partly my fault If you read alot this device will save you money ( tons of free classics out there.) and will end up paying for itself. Other than that it is so easy to bring your books with you without wasting space. The only down side is I travel for a living and I have to turn it off on a plane until we hit 10,000.00 feet. The screen is very easy on the eyes, it is like reading from a book and not a computer screen. It stays charged for weeks ( If you do not have the internet on.)Ħ. It has a built in dictionary that you do not have to leave the page you are on to use, you can also make highlights and bookmarks. It also gives me access to the internet for wikipedia and other study sites. 3, No monthly fees and I can connect to the Amazon bookstore anywhere in the United States.
