How noticeable is the difference? I've been waiting for an international release for some time now, but the fact that it's only the 6 inch version leaves me a bit unsatisfied...
- plinkplonk 17y agoI read a review here in Hacker News (can't find the link now) that the dx is much better in dealing with PDF. And I have a lot of pdf docs and papers. (here's a link about pdf on the dx http://www.matthewdavidwilliams.com/2009/06/12/technical-document-pdfs-on-the-kindle-dx/ http://www.matthewdavidwilliams.com/2009/06/12/technical-doc...)
- mziulu 17y agoLooks like we're on the same boat then, I'd buy it mainly for the truckload of technical PDFs I've downloaded and only partially read...
- Herring 17y agoI've also been seriously considering it, but it's hard to justify the cost when you can get a laptop like this for $400.. http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptop/hp-mini-311.aspx?page=1 http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptop/hp-mini-311.aspx?page...
- mziulu 17y agoYup, that could be a solution too, but I think that a dedicated device is better suited for this task. I could read the papers on my home PC (although the laptop offers something more than the desktop, mobility), but I'd like to avoid the...multitasking that a full-fledged computer offers! It's definitely another option though, and one that I'll take into consideration if and when the DX is made available outside of the US. As it stands, I think that compared to a 6 inch device a netbook is superior.
