Notes About Games

There has been a lot of fuss made about the arrival of the new kindle DX. It ’s is amazon’s latest product and is larger than the first.

The Kindle DX is the same width as the smaller one but the screen has been pushed out to a roomy 9.7 inches and the weight is up to just over 18 ounces.

It of course benefits from the same kindle Infrastructure and works right out the box wirelessly with no fees or contracts and a library of over 300,000 books, magazines, periodicals and newspapers which can be downloaded in 60 seconds or less.

You can now get 3 and a half thousand books stored on the DX, thats twice the number of the smaller kindle. The screen uses the same technology and it really does look like a printed page that adjusts itself as you are turning it round. This also works when direct sunlight is shone on the screen, when means it can be read anywhere.

Amazon have also added in another couple of very nice things.

Firstly the Display auto-rotates from a portrait setting to a landscape as you turn the device around. This allows the user to view full width maps, tables, graphs, photos and even web pages.

The kindle DX also integrates a full PDF reader so you can store and carry all your personal and professional documents on the go. The 3G service also allows you to download them whenever you need them.

My one criticism is just the price as it is an expensive gadget. This will probably put some buyers off.
