Kindle black is the Kindle DX 2 - please see Kindle DX 2 video post for details. Kindle white 9.7" screen is Kindle DX. Please see Kindle DX Review. Kindle white 6" screen is Kindle 2. Please see Kindle 2 Review. Kindle black has the new eInk Pearl screen that's much clearer than the previous one (50% better screen contrast). It has a graphite casing. It's a tiny bit faster to use and page turns are slightly faster. It shows images better. It should be clear from the videos.

Miriam, the information is on the product page at Amazon.com.
Just below the prize there are three little lines of text which indicate what devices the book is available on (usually all the ones that have Kindle Apps and Kindle) and whether Text to Speech is enabled or not.

I understand Kindle will read an e-book out loud assuming the publishers haven’t disabled the feature. How can I tell if the text to speech has been disabled prior to buying the book?

I have a question. Does the kindle or other reader have the capability of keyword search? I am putting together a reference book. I need to know whether these readers can search the text for a specific word.

James, Kindle provides spoken word output for books when publishers haven’t disabled the feature. Text to Speech is also enabled on all your personal documents and documents you convert to kindle format.
Largest print size is 20 pt in word – Please see the Kindle Font Sizes post.

Does Kindle provide spoken word output for eBooks? Also what is the largest print size available? I am visually handicapped and have a Mac.

yes. you will need a physical adapter to match whatever design of plugs they use. however, the kindle’s power adapter works worldwide as long as a physical plug adapter is used.

I want to take my Kindle overseas to countries with 250v power–can I charge the Kindle I purchased in the US there?
