Kindle DX

I love to read. I always have a book that I'm reading and I prefer paperbacks for ease of carrying in my purse to doctor's appointments etc.

My daughter uses her IPhone to read books on, and a friend of mine uses the Kindle by Amazon.com. Both of these devices offer the same thing, a handy way to have your book right there at your fingertips as you go about your daily activities.

I've been reading reviews on the latest version of Kindle, called kindle DX. You can see a picture here in the upper left hand corner. I don't have this device so can't speak to it personally. However, review say the screen is 6 inches, it's flat and easy to use. However, many don't like the quality of the picture saying it lacks the definition that a real paper would have. I need to see it for myself before I comment on that. It appears to be very clear and I do like the new size. It's a bit pricey at almost $500.

It's due to be released this summer. At that price I don't expect to be buying one anytime soon, but will stick with my paperback novels at least until it comes down in price.

If any of you buy the new Kindle or even have one of the older versions I'd like to hear from you about what you think about it. I'd be very interested in hearing from you. Do leave a comment or email me at mary1440@gmail.com. Meanwhile, I'm going to check with my friend to see if she intends to buy the new one when it comes out.

I'd appreciate some feedback.
