Kindle 2009 DX With Improved Features
By Calista Joyner
Have you heard of the latest device that allows you to download
books and start reading them in minutes? The e-reader has revolutionized
the print media as we know it. Ahead of the pack is Amazon, with
its Kindle devices.
The K2 has been on the market for awhile, but now Amazon has
released the Kindle 2009 DX, and it's causing quite a stir. If
you don't have one of these devices, or already own one and are
considering an upgrade, then you can review your options with
a comparison of the two, regarding to pricing, features and options
to gain an understanding of what each has to offer.
A Thinner Device With A Larger Screen
If you choose the Kindle 2009 DX, you will enjoy an overall size
of 10.4" x 7.2" x 0.38", while the K2 measurements
are a bit smaller, at 8" x 5.3" x 0.36".
Although both devices are thinner than almost any typical paperback,
at one-third of an inch deep, the DX weighs slightly more than
10 ounces and the K2 weighs almost 19 ounces. Keeping this in
mind, if you are planning to bring your electronic reader with
you on your travels, then the K2 is more portable.
The DX Has A Larger Storage Capacity
In order to provide a good comparison between Amazon's two devices,
the storage capacity of each must be taken into consideration
as well. The DX provides a 4GB internal memory, double the 2GB
capacity in the K2. To put it a different way, with the DX, you
can store almost 3,500 novels, while the K2 holds approximately
1,500.
When using the K2, users have encountered difficulties being
able to read PDF files because they required file conversion that
was possible only through an email to Amazon.
Integrated PDF
Additionally, this support incurred extra costs. The good news
is that with the DX, you are able to directly download PDF files
onto your device, because PDF support has been integrated into
the DX.
Price is another important factor to consider when choosing a
wireless reading device. The DX retails for around $489, while
the K2 costs around $359. Even if the price of the DX is too much
for your budget, you should still consider it, since it has so
many great options.
Has Better Features And Options
For the best features and options, the Kindle 2009 DX electronic
reader comes out way ahead of the K2. The only sticking point
is the price, as the K2 is over $100 cheaper than the DX.
You need to ask yourself if the features it contains are worth
the increased purchasing price. Yet for students and professionals
who want to get rid of their heavy textbooks and choose a reliable
device that comes with PDF support, the DX is perfect.

Give Me Just The Kindle Facts.....
Kindles are fascinating devices. It is a handheld device that
holds all of your reading material. That way no matter where you
are at you can take your books with you. The Kindle also works
with college textbooks.
Imagine being able to leave that backpack at home and just carry
the device with you. The device is phenomenal and can hold far
more books or newspapers than you can imagine. Try carrying around
over 1,500 books yourself. That would be hard on the shoulders
but the device can do it.
