Hmm, do you think the new pricing of the Kindle DX on this page is just a typo ($139 as of visiting)? http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000739811 ht

If Amazon lowered it to that over the next few days, I would actually consider purchasing the (3+ year-old) DX.
The actual product page still says $239.
Do any HNers have recommendations for large eInk readers suitable for viewing pdfs/textbooks? I mostly read textbooks these days.
- dalai 13y agoThe DX is not very good for reading pdfs. It does not render them very well and the pdf viewer is lacking in features. This is remedied a bit with jailbreaking and using other software. Personally, I am still disappointed at the lack of official updates for it, especially considering how much I paid for it (shortly after it came out).
- Casseres 13y agoSend an e-mail to Jeff Bezos and ask if he'll honor that price :-) It doesn't hurt to try. I've had great luck in the past when I e-mailed him. Just tell him that you're ready to buy it right now for $139. I like my Kindle DX, but it the resolution is low and it makes it difficult to read magazine PDFs that I load on to it. It's great for reading regular books though.
