The Kindle 2009 DX or K2?
It doesn’t matter whether you are an established Kindle 2 user searching for an upgrade or someone who is considering purchasing a new Kindle product, you now have more choices when it comes purchasing an ebook reader and electronic books. Amazon has launched a new reader; the Kindle 2009 DX. The DX first became available in May of 2009, and has gotten some great reviews. Let’s take a look at both the K2 and the DX to get an idea of which device has the best features, options and pricing.
The Kindle 2009 DX device has an upgraded, almost ten inch diagonal screen that also features an auto-rotating mechanism, which allows a portrait or landscape mode for viewing books, charts, tables, maps and illustrations. The K2 has a much smaller, 6″ diagonal screen and does not have the auto-rotating feature.
In order to provide a good comparison between Amazon’s two devices, the storage capacity of each must be taken into consideration as well. The DX provides a 4GB internal memory, double the 2GB capacity in the K2. To put it a different way, with the DX, you can store almost 3,500 novels, while the K2 holds approximately 1,500.
When using the K2, users have encountered difficulties being able to read PFD files because they required file conversion that was possible only through an email to Amazon. Additionally, this support incurred extra costs. The good news is that with the DX, you are able to directly download PDF files onto your device, because PDF support has been integrated into the DX.
Price is another important factor to consider when choosing a wireless reading device. The DX retails for around $489, while the K2 costs around $359. Even if the price of the DX is too much for your budget, you should still consider it, since it has so many great options.
For the best features and options, the Kindle 2009 DX electronic reader comes out way ahead of the K2. The only sticking point is the price, as the K2 is over $100 cheaper than the DX. You need to ask yourself if the features it contains are worth the increased purchasing price. Yet for students and professionals who want to get rid of their heavy textbooks and choose a reliable device that comes with PDF support, the DX is perfect.
