Amazon has its” big reader “reduced more and more in recent months, last week, the Kindle DX was first permanently under the 200 dollar mark. The device can also be bought by German customers of the U.S. website, it is the best ebook reader with these dimensions.

While the unit is sold in Germany only through third party providers and an unacceptable price (489 euros, the former official price), Amazon.com has the power in our own warehouse. In the U.S., the unit costs since last week $ 199 instead of 239 dollars. Like all earlier Kindle models, the Kindle DX is regularly available through the U.S. website for Amazon.de customers.

This

experienced the Kindle DX a small resurgence, because actually, the device had already disappeared in the fall of 2012 from the range by Amazon.com. In May this year, the 9.7-incher suddenly appeared again at Amazon.com on, equipped with a 299 dollar price tag. Since then the price dropped in several stages to today’s 199 U.S. dollars.


Kindle DX hardware from 2010

Interested parties should be aware that the Kindle DX is neither hardware nor software measures up to date. The offered model dates from the autumn of 2010, according to read the specifications. The E-Ink display (1200x824px to 9.7 “corresponds, 150dpi) belongs to Vizplex generation, today Pearl screens have better contrast ratios and shorter leaves times.

The screen is not touch-sensitive, navigated as the original Kindle with a built-in down the right stick and the QWERTY keyboard. The Kindle DX has a 3G module that can be purchased and downloaded for free over the air eBooks in Germany – but lacks Wi-Fi. With 535 grams, the device is also no lightweight.

in the firmware, the device is not up to date: Current functions of the Kindle platform like X-Ray and smart lookup in vain, as the PDF viewer is (in terms of text magnification) significantly worse than current Kindle devices such as the White Paper 2 This flaw makes the DX but with its much larger screen area offset.


price-performance ratio is

who has a lot to do with native large-format files for the Kindle DX is certainly still an option (especially with 4 Gbytes of memory for it is comfortably sized). The integrated UMTS module, the co-rotating screen, and support for audio files (along with 3.5mm headphone jack and even stereo speakers) are nice additional functions – on value for money you can not complain at around 200 euros . It’s a shame that Amazon has its “big reader” in the last two years did not continue: In the tablet era, there would certainly have been a demand for such a device, but probably not Amazon’s claim is justified as a mass manufacturer.
