I could totally see another Kindle that's in between sizes, but I know that'll never happen, which is a shame. By too small,I mean, the Kindle should have the SAME size and a larger screen. The Kindle DX is too big and the Kindle is too small. After having used both for a week, I am also. If you're torn between the two, it's understandable. The small-size Kindle 2 is fantastic for prose and horrible for charts, graphs and code.
In English, this means if you're wanting to read technical books, you get a Kindle DX.

First, no PDF support built in, and two, if it was converted to Kindle-format, it'd be destroyed. It would be totally NOT readable on the non-DX Kindle for two reasons. Here's a screenshot of a PDF taken from the Kindle DX.

I don't know what the real limitations of the PDF support are, but I'm sure they're improving it constantly, and the Kindle can update it's OS over the 3G network, so those updates will presumably just happen. The failures have only been on internal documents that have annotations and stuff. Rare, and usually it's because there's some advanced PDF feature being used that the Kindle doesn't support. It works for 95% of PDFs, but every once in a while I've had it fail. That means you can just plug it in over USB, copy a PDF and boom, you're viewing it. Effectively you can fit double the text on the page of the Kindle DX.Īlso, the Kindle DX has native PDF support. The "so the" appears right in the middle of this screen. Here's the same book, same point, starting with "morning" on the Kindle DX. Notice that it starts with the word "morning" and ends with "duration, so the." Here's a screenshot taking from the Kindle 2 of a book. Also, the keyboard on the Kindle 2 uses far too much vertical space. There's easily enough room on the Kindle 2 to make the screen a 7" screen just by tightening up that space. There's just WAY to too much "whitespace" between the edge of the kindle and the screen itself. I don't know what the technical limitations are and I don't really care. That's the space between the screen and the edge. The real tragedy of the Kindle is the bezel. Let's get serious on size and layout here. There's zero eye strain, or no more than a regular book. It's very very close to paper and once you've started reading you really do forget it's not paper. It's e-ink and it's totally unique when you see it. The screen on a Kindle is EXTREMELY clear. It's got 4gig internal storage which I've found is effectively unlimited. That's 1200 x 824 pixel resolution at 150 dpi. The Kindle DX is 10.4" x 7.2" x 0.38" and the screen is 9.7" (yes, nearly 10"!) diagonally. As a comparison, you monitor is likely 96dpi, possible 120dpi. It's got a 600x800 pixel display, so that's 167 dpi with 16 grays. The Kindle 2 is 8" x 5.3" x 0.36" but the screen is 6" diagonally. I own the standard-sized Amazon Kindle 2 - it's the little one in the picture on the right. I read it every night and have probably bought a dozen books with it, several newspapers and I read many dozen PDFs.

In its email, Amazon included a code customers can use to get $50 off a new Kindle Paperwhite or Oasis, along with $15 in eBook credits. And if you have a newer 4G or WiFi-only Kindle, you won't be affected at all. You'll still be able to access your books on an older device and can do wired transfers if you want, though. The other devices in the list are the Kindle Keyboard (3rd Generation), Kindle Touch (4th Generation), Kindle Paperwhite (5th, 6th and 7th Generation), Kindle Voyage (7th Generation) and Kindle Oasis (8th Generation), all of which have WiFi connection. It noted that the first- and second-generation Kindles, as well as the Kindle DX, won't be able to connect to the internet at all since they don't have WiFi connectivity to fall back on. The e-commerce giant listed the particular devices that will be affected by the switch in its FAQ page. As The Verge reports, Amazon has sent out emails to owners with old Kindles, telling them that previous-generation devices will lose internet access after mobile operators transition from 2G and 3G networks to 4G and 5G.

If you have an older Amazon Kindle with 3G internet, take note that you may not be able to wirelessly access and download new content anymore starting in December.
