Amazon Customer's Review of Kindle DX




See link above for Susan Lynn Umpleby's review of Amazon's NEW Kindle DX. Susan owned the K1 and the K2. She looked forward to getting the DX. She seems disappointed in the newest Kindle. She also gives feedback with compliments and drawbacks. One issue she mentions is the DX is top heavy, and not comfortable when reading or typing. Susan does like the ability to be able to rotate the screen and this gives users a better view of things like maps and charts.
