Good news for Kindle lovers! After launched day, the new digital book reader has available now. The new Kindle which has a large screen called Kindle DX, in a bid to attract readers who are eager to read documents, newspapers, textbooks and other materials that will gain from a larger screen.
In introducing Kindle DX in , the company is working with textbook publishers and several universities that will offer this new product to students. Besides, It also includes a built-in PDF reader, using Adobe’s mobile reader. Anyone wanting to zoom in on a picture or a chart, the DX lets you do that.
As the size is larger, the keyboard is bigger. Its feedback is a little better than the one on the Kindle 2, the wider DX e-reader makes typing a little awkward. Of course, keyboard feel is one of those things where everybody has their own opinion. All I’m saying is this: a) I have small hands and b) I’ve gotten used to typing with my thumbs on a BlackBerry, so the DX experience was not ideal for me.
Besides, there is a new experimental tab on the main menu, which offers users a simple Web browser, the ability to play MP3 music files you’ve added to your Kindle from your computer and Amazon’s text-to-speech option.
The browser option is labelled “Basic Web” which is fitting. It comes with preloaded bookmarks for pared-down versions of Web sites like Google, CNN and Yelp. If we try to to subscribe to the newspaper by going to nytimes.com, we will quickly discovere that the browser does not support the full version of the Web that we view on our computers and even now on some smartphones.
