Amazon Kindle DX : an electronic book

Since January 2010, the Amazon Kindle DX has been available internationally, with this electric book providing 16 tones of grey on a 9.7" screen. If you didn’t previously know that it was possible to take electronic books or magazines with you when on the move, then through this article you will find out everything there is to know! With 4GB of internal memory, you can store up to 3500 different files. There are different electronic books for sale in the proprietary AZW format on the Kindle Store, but in addition to this you can read PDF eBooks, play MP3 files and read personal documents (DOC, HTML, TXT, MOBI, PRC...). Through this review of the Amazon eReader, we will see what lead to this device being such a great success in the United States, and how it has been adapted to a European market. Has the successor to paper books finally arrived?

Package contents
In addition to the Kindle DX, white on the front and brushed aluminium on the back, the packaging contains a mini USB to USB cable and an A type electricity adaptor (North America) which contains a USB plug on the other end. Released in international markets, it would have been nice to have seen an electricity adaptor better adapted to Europe (C or E/F). We therefore had to charge the device connected directly to the computer via the USB cable. You will also find a hard case with the small "AmazonKindle" logo in metal. The case is leather on the outside and velvet on the inside, on sale on Amazon’s site for $49.99. The case fully protects the device, with the walls being extra resistant to protect the Kindle from bumps. The case can also be opened in such a way that the device can be operated while still in the case, with the lid flipped back.

The e-Paper reader’s look and controls
The Kindle DX is surprisingly flat and its weight of slightly above 500 grams is well spread across the device when held in the hands, either in landscape or portrait mode. It nevertheless weighs more then a feather after a few hours of use, which can be felt in the wrists. The lower side contains a full QWERTY keyboard which allows the user to easily enter text that they are searching for. The lighting is done by pressing the lock to the top. You will be welcomed by the first electronic book, the preinstalled "Kindle DX User's Guide, 2nd Ed." This will show you all of the devices functions.
