Alicia, the 6″ screen size is better suited for reading books than the larger 9.7″.
It’s cheaper by $200 as you pointed out, it’s so light that one handed reading is easy, it’s more portable – throw it in a purse or carry it around easily.

A good way to imagine the screen size is to take a normal paperback and that’s how big the Kindle 2 is – the screen is around 70% of that. Why not wait a few days and on the 6th it’ll be available to check out at the nearest Target.

I am looking to buy a Kindle. I would like to use it for reading books, no real need for PDF files. I like the portability of Kindle 2 and the price, but I am bit worried about the screen size. It seems so small.
My question is whether the larger screen is worth the 200 dollar difference? Or do you forget about the screen size once you start reading? Is it comparable to a regular book?

Budims – not sure of what hacks are available or have been done. Haven’t read of anyone opening up the 3G card – However, you should search around for hacks.

Can I unlock the 3G for any provider in my country? And customize freely the configuration — APN, for example?

Anyone have any recommendations for the books that best take advantage of the Kindle DX vs. the old Kindle? Amazon has a few featured but you can’t look them up this way…

Thx.

1. Yes – the DX is indeed best because of the largest screen size and the largest font size.
2. Kindle 2 International version use AT&T and has international wireless access. Kindle DX still uses the Sprint wireless network and only supports US.
Kindle DX International is supposed to be out in 2010 – Amazon has confirmed it.

You could get the Kindle DX and sell it afterwards and get the international Kindle DX. Kindle prices hold up very well.

I have 2 questions:
1. it seems the Kindle DX would be best for someone visually impaired
2. It looks like you can not access Kindle wireless in Collingwood area and Toronto although it appears you can access it with Kindle 2 – I don’t understand why the difference and if in future Kindle DX will allow you to do this.
