Amazon Kindle DX

[SomeSailor]

We bought both kids the new Kindle DX for Christmas. Very slick device. I have the Sony eReader already, but it doesn't have the built in cell connection. Pretty cool that you can access new books and the internet and such for free via it's cell connection.

Anyone else on here tried them?

No Kindle... Been using my IPhone to read/listen to books. But I have been watching the "Nook" which seems a bit superior to the Kindle for my use anyway...

If they had a larger version coming that would be cool. The DX is about the size and weight of a magazine. The ePaper (of any of these) is amazing stuff. It draws NO current when turned off and still holds an image. Wouldn't that be cool for charts?

You could build a boat chart table with an ePaper surface. How cool would that be!
