I just bought a 6" Kindle last week. But this week, I found Kindle DX is on sales too. That is $359. I think around 100 dollars off! If I bought it this week, I could have another opinion. Anyway, $359 is too much for me. I think that is not different if I buy it this week.

Previously, I have complained about no zoom-in function in the Kindle PDF reader. Well, actually, there is a firmware upgarde missing. My kindle is shipped with firmware 2.3. But the latest firmware is version 2.5. The latest version has the Zoom feature in the pdf reader. Moreover, after the zoom-in, you can pan across pdf as well. You can choose the zoom level from fit-to-screen,150%, 200% and 300%. I tried to read a 8.5"x11" pdf in 200% zoom level. That is very very readable!

Last Friday, my Kindle arrived. Until now, I have played it for 3 days. So far, I love it a lot! Firstly, eInk screen is great!I have used it for an hour. That was very comfortable. I did not feel tired at all. Moreover, that is very energy saving! I have used for 3 days, but the battery indicator is still in a full bar! In additional, I found Kindle Store has a lot of free English classic book to download! Saving a lot of money, and it helps me to improve my English!

Well, it has some weakness. Firstly, I thought I could get a free 3G connection via Kindle. Yes, that is free to browse and download books from Kindle Store. But other than that, there will be a fee applied. Secondly, it has not a zoom in function in their pdf reader. I tried to open an A4 size pdf file, that is nearly impossible to read. Although I can set the screen to be landscape ,the page is in a readable size, that is still to hard to read. Lastly, that is only an eBook reader. Mainly, it can read the books. If you want it to have similar features as iPad, sorry, it cannot be compared with iPad. Anyway, Kindle designed to read books, it did a good job.

Until this moment, I am very happy about it. I have not any major complaints at all!

I bought a 6" Kindle this evening. That is just $189. I think Amazon just dropped the price, I remember I saw that was $2XX few days ago.
Why do I buy that and even not consider to buy a iPad? Firstly, I am not an apple person. Secondly, $189 is a very attractive price, much cheaper than iPad. Besides, all I need is a eBook reader. Kindle can do the job. Moreover, it has an eInk, which is good for my eyes. The normal computer screens, including iPad screen, are so easy to make my eyes tired. Lastly, it got a free 3G connection! I can get books their wireless networks. Moreover, it has a beta web browser, therefore, I will have free wireless internet connection! That is very cool!
