 Shocked I liked it so much martie 13, 2010
Stiggy (WICHITA, KS, US)
I was not sure I wanted an e-book device like the Kindle because I love reading actual paper books and thought I would miss the smell, the feel in my hands, etc. The Kindle blew me away. The ink print technology is wonderful for the eyes, with the pivoting landscape, I can switch position easily to read. I can change the font for my husband and we can even read different books on the same machine. It hasn't replaced actual "hard copy" books in my home, but I happily read from either the Kindle or my books at home. The low cost of most titles has helped me try new genres and enjoy books I would normally pass over in a book store. And it is an invaluable travel companion, it keeps me up to date with my reading when I'm away from home. I would recommend it to anyone.
 Kindle DX for AUSTRALIA - big WOW factor and it works. BUY recommendation. martie 12, 2010
Matthew Holden (Singapore, Singapore)
Finally purchased the international version of Kindle for use in Australia.
Without having the ability to see-feel'n'smell it before I purchased it was a risky USD489 (AUD$600) purchase.
Spending almost A$900 with accessories, goodies and shipping was a "gulp" risk. Being in Australia and so remote was a concern but communication with Amazon is good with the free Amazon telephone call back option however returns to Amazon has been very difficult (see my separate review of Kindle Cover)
I bought Kindle the week Apple announced their iPad - whilst Apple makes wonderful products, I wasn't convinced of Apple content, functionality and applicability of iPad so I bought a dedicated reader instead.
Kindle arrived was easy to set-up, install and get going. I was surprised at the e-ink capability and, true as they say, it's easy to read in all light conditions but night time with various ambient lights make it difficult but not impossible.
I rate Kindle DX International AUSTRALIA 3 stars. They loose one star for limited charging solution and one star for lack of colour display/limited input options which I really expect for a device at this price.
PROS:
* Easy to read and increase text size - can read without the need of glasses
* Plug into your computer to see Kindle as a USB drive where you can drag'n'drop content to it
* Right size for a book alternative - fits briefcase, travel satchel, handbag etc
* Easily fits the separate Kindle cover (a must have option BTW)
* Books actually download fast (even with dodgy Australian telco providers)
* Big WOW factor - be prepared for lots of stares and questions on the train, plane etc!
CONS:
* No international power plug. Big drawback - it only comes with a special Kindle USB cable. You really need a high power USB port on your computer to charge it. Will not charge from an Apple USB wall charger!
* Surprisingly we found the back catalog of books quite limited - new titles only - forget buying textbooks yet (unless they're black and white)
* Grey scale screen is nice but they need a colour version asap - hopefully with iPad and others around I expect to see an enhanced Kindle very soon
* Reading PDF files is limited - difficult to zoom and read
* Technical performance of the device was slow and unresponsive - press a button and it takes time to respond. This was surprising but understandable to save battery life and you get used to it
* Keyboard is so small - need magnifying glasses to see the keys and rather useless but needed.
BIGGEST CON:
* My wife loved it so much, she took mine and now won't give it back!
Returned....unfortunately martie 12, 2010
B. Brandt (Dodgeville, Mi United States)
Unfortunately I had to return this. It was intended as a present for my neo-luddite father who does not use a computer. Because there was no reception at his house (and he could not download from the computer he refuses to use) he could not use this. I think that we would have loved it if there had been Sprint cell reception. I have to say though that I debated for a long time before I purchased this because I didn't want to get stuck with it if he didn't like it or couldn't use it for some reason and there was some hassle with the return. I contacted Amazon before I bought it and they sent me details about their return policy which looked pretty straight forward. When I finally did return it I was very leery of the outcome, but everything went completely smoothly, AND the return label that I shipped it with only decreased my refund by $2.98. I was extremely happy with the experience...even though the item was not kept.
Larger size is much better for me martie 12, 2010
T. OGrady-Walsh (Washington D.C.)
This size is far better for quick readers.
- With the smaller Kindle at normal font, you're turning pages every few seconds.
- With the DX, I turn pages similar to a paper book.
- I do miss the page-turn buttons on the left hand side though.
- Bonus: school-age boys are far more interested in reading on the Kindle because "it's cool." And with the Kindle, I always have a book available for them to read redardless of where we are
- I also find I read the newspapers more throughly than I do in hard copy, again because I can pick it up and come back to it many times during the day
- The E-ink will keep me with the Kindle vs the back-lit competitors--FAR earlier on the eyes!
Well WORTH every cent!
 wouldn't buy another one martie 12, 2010

I wouldn't buy another one. First, I have all kinds of problems with the machine. I do not believe it performs properly. I also miss something that I never realize exists about reading a real book .
I also found the tabs that hold the kindle in the cover broke off easily
