Amazon Kindle DX Reviews: What Are The Customers Saying?

If you check out the vast number of Amazon Amazon Kindle DX Review available on the internet, you will find a mixed bag. While the DX has received mostly positive reviews, it is impossible to please everyone and many people  have some complaints. Many problems people have with the DX are personal issues such as the 12 hour battery not being enough to keep up with their travel- intensive job. But for the vast majority of people, 12 hours is plenty time to read for one day. In order to decide if the Kindle DX is the right handheld ebook reader for you, you have to break down the pros and cons.

It is easy to go over the pros of the DX. While it would take too much time to go over everything the Kindle has to offer, you can be sure that it lives up to its promises. Everything the Kindle DX says it does, it does very well. The enormous screen is plenty big enough and the e-ink feature makes it easy to read. Even the most avid readers would be hard-pressed to fill the 3,500 book capacity. The rotating screen is excellent for reading your newspaper subscriptions or even for kid’s books with lots of big pictures. The ergonomic design is an improvement as well, making the DX easier to handle.

But there are still issues, many of which aren’t exactly the fault of the device. The biggest complaint that many users have is the DRM (digital rights  management) that Amazon has chosen to use. DRM is widely considered an outdated practice of material protection and unfortunately limits the kinds of  documents you can use on your Kindle DX. You are forced to buy from Amazon and you may find that many of your reader files will not work.

Another major concern with the DX is its lack of organizational capability, meaning it’s difficult to find what goes where if you have a large library. The last and perhaps one of the biggest problems with the DX is its price tag that many interested individuals simply find too steep.

There is a lot to consider when you look at the DX and wonder if it is worth it. The price buys you quite a lot and will keep even the most avid reader happy  most of the time. But it isn’t perfect. There are some flaws that will likely not affect many people, but the people who are affected may be put off quite a  bit. For the vast majority, the DX is a reader that will do everything they need and then some. Though it may not completely eliminate the paper book just  yet, it is an undeniable piece of the future for anyone who loves a good book.
