Review Of The Kindle DX:
I have been using my Kindle DX for about six months and in general I am well satisfied with it. But I do have three things that I don't like about it and feel that if Kindle would change them, that it would be much more of a benefit to all users.
One, I do not like the use of locations instead of page numbers. I don't have a feel for locations, for example, if I was on page 900 of a book and wanted to use the "go to page function" to page 950, it would mean more to me than using the "go to location"... more info
Bookworm:
I have owned the 6 inch Kindle as well as the 9.7 inch Kindle. I read so many books that I am thoroughly enjoying not having to stockpile so many hard copy books.

No back lighting or color.:

Readings A Pleasure - Again!:
I purchased the Kindle DX 9.7" as a Christmas Present for my wife. She thoroughly enjoys it - in fact, so do I. I like the large number of books/magazines/papers that I can purchase, and the speed of their delivery. S/H eas very good. My only complaint - the keyboard is too small. I think that if it would appear on the Kindle screen, it would be easier to use.
