After Kindle comes Kindle 2 and Now Kindle DX.
Amazon is certainly pushing in, trying to start a new revolution .The Previous Version Amazon Kindle now has a bigger screen from 6 inch in previous version to 9.7 inches in DX with a resolution of 1200 x 824 pixels.The price has increased from $359 to $489 and the weight also has increased from 10.3 ounce to 18.9 ounce.The thickness has remained the same 1/3 inch.It also has 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack andbuilt-in stereo speakers.
Memory increased from 250 MB in original Kindle to 2GB [1.4GB user accessible] in Kindle 2 to 4 GB[3.3 GB user accessible].The text contrast has been improved unlike Kindle 2 as there are 16 shades of grey available.It also has an inbuilt support for PDF .More over the slot for an SD card has been removed.
But one short coming still remains “Kindle DX ” search feature cannot perform full-text search. Kindle technical support explains that search works only on root words and endings, such as “run”, “running”, but not “ru” or “unning”.
Best part is its battery lasts for days,which ensures
that while going for a trip you no longer need to buy or take books with you instead take the whole library with you i.e “Amazon Kindle”.
This also help in the environmental cause and certainly ranks to top in green
devices, though one thing which amazon might have missed is solar charging.
