Kindle vs Kindle DX

Would you buy a regular Kindle now or just go for the Kindle DX? I was all ready to order a DX when I realized that the price difference would pay for a new camera lense that I want! Any issue with screen size on the regular Kindle? Is the manual rotation annoying or is it just easy to do?

Yes, I am considering the Nook and the iPad also but I am leaning heavily toward a Kindle. I ruled out the SONY reader.

I thought the kindle dx was just a bigger version of the kindle? I have the regular kindle and have never had a problem with it. Its page size it a little bit bigger than a paperback.

Re: Kindle vs Kindle DX

I have the regular Kindle and I love it. I think its the perfect size- the DX screen just seemed too big to me. The font size and orientation are super easy to change. I'd go for the Kindle and get that new camera lens!

I know you said you ruled out the Sony Reader...I bought the sony reader a while ago, but stopped using it because i didn't want to buy every single book i wanted to read but, I recently started back up with it since i can get books from the library with it. I dont think the kindle is compatiable that.

Re: Kindle vs Kindle DX

I've had my kindle for a few weeks and I'm happy with it. Size-wise, sometimes I feel like I don't move my eyes from side to side all that much.

I agonized over a kindle vs. ipad. Chose kindle in order to read in direct sunlight. I'm trying to hold off on buying an ipad until the next generation.
