Learn more about Kindle DX
Kindle DX comes with the larger screen is a definite plus. I use the larger type size on my Kindle 2, and at kindle dx type size I get far much text per page on the DX. This makes the whole reading experience more book-like and should be a boon to people who buy large-print books. The screen is also sharper and crisper than my Kindle 2 in a side-by-side comparison: the text is darker, and the contrast is overmuch better, making for better perceptibility overall.
On a side note, the larger screen also makes it possible to read poetry on the kindle reader, even at large type sizes. On earlier Kindles, the smaller screen cut off lines, so that you would lose the sense of when the poet ended the line. On the DX, you can see the whole line exactly as the poet meant it, with the cut-off in the right spot.
The PDF reader totality as advertised, and is extremely accessible. PDF documents appear on the DX exactly as they do on a computer screen. Moreover, you can proceed and deliver your documents direct to the device using the USB line (or use the for-a-fee email if you perfectly must.) The only downside: at least for the documents that I’ve used so far, I cannot adjust the type size as I can with native Kindle documents.
The screen rotation also works as advertised: it operates as a mild zoom on both graphics and text and offsets slightly the downside of not being able to adjust the typesize on PDF documents. One good figure touch: the four-way direction joystick introduced on the Kindle 2 is rotation-sensitive, and will move as predicted being to the display rotation.
And more of the style area is devoted to the screen, while the whiteness plastic border around the display seems to get contracted, both in comprehensive and compared to the rescale of display to plastic on the Kindle 2. I like this (but see below about the keyboard).
I like the increase in storage space, and don’t mind the lack of an external storage card. I can see any group having anxiety with this, but only those folks who either must regularly carry around PDF documents totalling much than 3.5 GB of space or must have nearly 3500 books regularly at their fingertips. I fall in neither category.
With Kindle DX has long battery lifetime, you can read on a single charge for up to 7 days with wireless on. Turn wireless off and read for up to 2 weeks.

In low-coverage areas or in EDGE/GPRS-only coverage, kindle dx wireless usage will consume battery power more quickly.
