Tracy and Matt have published their review of the Amazon Kindle DX eBook reader. 'The front of the Kindle DX is, unsurprisingly, dominated but the 9.7" E Ink display. The display is 824 x 1200 pixels and can display 16 shade of grey. Below the display a QWERTY keyboard. You use the keyboard for entering text, searching for new book titles or for the web browser. On the bottom of the unit there are a couple of speaker grilles and in the middle a microUSB connector for charging the device and for accessing the internal memory in mass-storage mode.'

A review of the Amazon Kindle wireless reading device has been posted over at Kent's Bike Blog. 'The Kindle is an electronic book reader. It's not the first ebook reader and it certainly won't be the last, but it is the one that made me hit the "Buy Now" button last week. It's not a move I made lightly, it's a pricey little gadget after all, and it is something I'd dismissed long ago as being to limited, restricted and intentionally crippled to be of use to me. I not only dismissed the Kindle, I pretty much echoed Cory Doctorow's negative impressions of the device that he posted on Boing Boing back in 2007.'

A review of the Amazon Kindle DX (global wireless, latest generation) eReader has been posted over at CNET. 'Aside from the switch in wireless carriers (the old DX used to be powered by Sprint, and didn't work outside the U.S.), nothing else has visibly changed--at least as far as the hardware itself goes. The 0.38-inch-deep DX is just a tad thicker than the 0.36-inch Kindle. And the Kindle DX's 9.7-inch e-ink display (1,200-by-824-pixel resolution) technically offers 2.5 times more screen real estate than the Kindle's 6-inch display. That extra screen comes at a price, both figuratively and literally, as the DX weighs almost twice as much (18.9 ounces) as the Kindle and costs $230 more, at $489.'

The Gadgeteer have published their review of the Amazon Kindle DX Wireless reading device. 'Kindles use a main or "home" screen page to list the items (actually most of the items) on your Kindle (it doesn't list MP3 files). As with the K1 this home screen is still a pain -the list of books (or audio books) is just a flat list -- no sub-categorizing available. I'm hoping that a software upgrade will someday remedy this. Also, note that the home screen/page does not show you a list of MP3 files that you may have loaded onto the KDX. You can search within an individual book (when you have that book open); search within all of your books; and search on the Internet (when wireless is on). This works okay but is awkward due to the keyboard keys when entering your search word or phrase.'

Reg Hardware have published their review of the Amazon Kindle DX International Edition e-book reader. 'The most obvious difference between the DX and Amazon's lesser Kindles is the larger screen. Like the standard Kindle, the DX uses an E Ink display, but it's a 9.7in unit with a resolution of 1200 x 824 rather than the basic Kindle's 6in, 600 x 800 panel. Though larger, the DX's screen actually has a lower pixels per inch figure - 150 vs 167 - but the difference is indiscernible to the eye. In every way, the DX's larger screen makes for a much better reading experience than that provided by any other e-book reader we have tested.'

The Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device (9.7" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation) is available on pre-order for $489.00 over at Amazon.com. 'Kindle DX's large display is ideal for a broad range of reading material, including graphic-rich books, PDFs, newspapers, magazines, and blogs. Kindle DX's display is two and a half times the size of the Kindle display. Whether you're reading the latest bestseller or a financial report, text and images are amazingly sharp on the 9.7" screen. Unlike most electronic devices, we wanted to keep Kindle simple. Kindle DX is wireless and ready to use right out of the box-no setup, no cables, no software to install, no computer required.

Reg Hardware have published their review of the Amazon Kindle International Edition digital reader. 'Since Amazon expects most Kindle users to buy content from, well, Amazon, the Kindle's primary e-book format is Amazon's own AZW, though it can also handle DRM-free Mobipocket files. If you ask us, an e-book reader that doesn't support ePub is a bit of a three-legged nag. Despite what Amazon may think, ePub is now the e-book standard with even Sony - never a company to relish the adoption of technologies it didn't invent - recently converting its entire DRM e-book library to the format. The real advantage of any e-book reader is that you can head over the likes of Feedbooks and grab the entire output of Jane Austen, HG Wells, Dickens and Tolstoy, and not pay a penny. Thankfully, Feedbooks offers its content in Mobipocket format as well as ePub and PDF.'

CNET have published their review of the Amazon Kindle wireless reading device 'If you live overseas and are thinking of buying this "American" Kindle, you should check the Kindle's product page to see what you're up against. There's a box right under the pricing information that asks, "Live outside the U.S?" You can then select your country from a pull-down menu and read the pertinent information. The long and short of it is that while the Kindle presents a convenient way for you to download English-language books if you live or are traveling outside the U.S., you're simply not going to get the same deal as U.S. customers. Still, we can see how certain people--particularly expats--wouldn't mind paying the extra charges to have immediate access to books they want to read.'

A review of the Amazon Kindle International Edition ebook reader has been posted over at TrustedReviews.com. 'The Kindle model resembles digital music in another respect too, or at least Apple's original incarnation of digital music. You see if you buy a Kindle, you will only be able to read books purchased from Amazon, despite the fact that there is a plethora of free eBook content out there. Of course, this is the whole point - the Kindle is basically a seeding device for Amazon's Kindle store, in much the same way that the iPod was a seeding device for the iTunes store.'
