MobileTechReview have published a review of the Amazon Kindle DX Graphite ebook reader. 'The Kindle DX Graphite is Amazon's second generation super-sized 9.7" ereader. The "standard" size Kindle 2 has a 6" display, as do most popular readers currently on the market (these 6" readers don't have the new Pearl enhanced contrast display). That much larger screen allows for way fewer page turns and PDFs that are readable without zoom. The drawback? The DX certainly won't fit in the average purse nor any pocket known to man, and it's heavier. At 18.9 ounces, you'll want to prop it on your leg or against a table for hours of reading. Though it's only 5 ounces lighter than the iPad, it feels significantly lighter, and the Kindle is thinner at 0.38". The two devices' height and width are similar, with the Kindle being a bit taller but narrower.'
